+ | ===== Implementation ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Active Directory integration will work if we use Likewise-Open. | ||
+ | * HPC must have the correct time (AD authenticates via Kerberos, which is heavily sensitive to time) | ||
+ | * HPC must be able to access AD on several TCP ports (kerberos, LDAP, etc) | ||
===== Notes ===== | ===== Notes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Apache Authentication ===== | ||
+ | It's possible to use Basic authentication via Active Directory in web applications. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure Apache has mod_perl installed and working first, then install the required AD Auth package and any dependencies it has using CPAN: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | > install Apache2:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then add a stanza such as this to your Apache config: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | That stanza can go in a VirtualHost, | ||
+ | ==== Likewise-Open ==== | ||
+ | Open source standalone implementation of Samba, OpenLDAP, Kerberos, etc for Active Directory integration: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * open ports in Firewall (Active Directory, NTP, Kerberos) | ||
+ | * make sure time is in sync with the server! | ||
+ | * Likewise-Open has their own CIFS server but can also work with existing Samba installs I think | ||
