Join Active Directory - Join Linux To Active Directory - Join Ubuntu To Active Directory

Leverage your existing Active Directory infrastructure with PowerBroker Identity Services Enterprise Edition

In a Windows environment, user accounts are created in Active Directory to be able to participate in AD authentication. For a user to access resources on a machine that also participates in Active Directory, the machine also must have an account in Active Directory. The process by which an account for the machine is created in Active Directory is called "joining" the machine to Active Directory. Joining a machine to Active Directory was restricted to Windows workstations and server machines only.

Now, with PowerBroker Identity Services Enterprise Edition, you can join Linux, UNIX and Mac machines to Active Directory. Once the Linux/UNIX machines have been joined to AD, a user who has been provisioned for UNIX and Linux access can now interactively login to the Linux/Unix machine with his or her Active Directory credentials. The user can also access any kerberized services that the Linux/UNIX machine hosts.

  • These machines are then joined to Active Directory from a graphical tool or through deployment scripts.
  • The PowerBroker Identity Services Enterprise Edition Management Tools are used to configure AD to store UNIX and Linux information.
  • Existing AD management tools are then used to manage non-Windows systems and configure Group Policies for UNIX
