Windows Can!
  • Windows Server 2003 (and presumably Vista server) Uses:
  • Kerberos V (KRB5) for Auth
  • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for User and Group management
  • Server Message Block (SMB/SAMBA) for Files and Printers
  • All of these are interoperable (and it can use AFS too J)!
4
Linux Can!
  • Uses LDAP for Users and Groups
  • Uses KRB5 for Auth
  • Uses AFS and/or Samba for files
  • Uses CUPS/Samba for printers
  • Can provide terminal server at a low cost

Kerberos
  • Allows users to use services after being authenticated by OKing them
  • Authenticates users

LDAP
  • Manages Users and Groups
  • Provides fine grained ACL for AD KRB5

AFS
  • Is a network file system used by 1000’s

AFS
  • Allows secure remote usage over the internet (/afs)
  • Scales well
