I have successfully installed Edubuntu and everything seems to be working
OK. I think that I have added myself to the domain under the Network window
of the System>Administration menu. With my Domain credentials I can access
various machines on the network and am able to use my proxy to get out onto
the Internet. My question is: is it possible to log onto the Edubuntu
computer using my domain credentials like in Windows? Right now I can only
log onto the machine locally.

Adding a linux computer to a windows AD domain is a bit tricky to setup but can be done and works quite well.

http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3487081 is a guide I've used in the past with great success.* http://www.onnoot.com/wiki/how_to_join_ubuntu_samba_to_a_windows_2003_active_ directory_domain is an ubuntu specific guide and while it's for an older version of ubuntu the process has not changed.


If you have trouble you can try the samba mailing list since it's filled with helpful people who have configured exactly what you are trying to do.

If you mean something like that your user in the domain is valid in
the edubuntu box, the answer is yes. There are a couple of tutorials
on ubuntu wiki pages. Search for SingleSignOn and
ActiveDirectoryHowto. Also the info on
http://kad.wiki.sourceforge.net/ActiveDirectoryIntegration might help.

See this documentation :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto

And if you use the AD authentication for thin client perhaps you need
change the ssh's pam.d in your server
