Solutions that integrate Unix, Linux and Mac OS X identities and systems with Windows accounts and Active Directory (AD), require a means of storing the various Unix attributes in AD. In AD, these attributes can be centrally managed along with the Windows account attributes.

This white paper discusses how various currently available market solutions approach this requirement differently. These differences need to be understood clearly, as the solution may have important operational, performance and interoperability impacts. This white paper will help you to better understand the options surrounding using the AD schema in these integration scenarios so you can minimize these impacts.
