Introduction to the AD Bridge Config Tool Reference Guide
AD Bridge joins Linux and Unix computers to Active Directory so that you can centrally manage all your computers from one source, authenticate users with the highly secure Kerberos protocol, control access to resources, and apply group policies to non-Windows computers.
This guide describes how to manage Unix and Linux computers using the AD Bridge config tool.
Overview
The AD Bridge config tool provides policies similar to the GPO policies that can be applied to local Linux and Unix systems. The config tool policies can be set before the system is joined to a domain. If a GPO policy and config tool policy are applied to a target, the GPO policy overrides the config tool policy.
