[Fedora-directory-users] Windows Authentication
 

Has anyone gotten windows computers to successfully authenticate against Fedora Directory Server?
If so is there a walk through online somewhere?
Or is it just ridiculously easy to do?
Or is it like having a windows computer join an active directory domain?

Windows machines will not authenticate directly with an LDAP server.
You'd need to do something like set up Samba using LDAP as a back end.

There are plenty of how-to's out there. Googling "samba ldap domain
controller" should be enough to get you started.
