Active Directory Usage with Linux Server?

[Nick Antonelli]

My team, at some point this year, will have to move our various tools from using LDAP to Active Directory. When reading up in the PlasticSCM admin guide, I noticed this line in the section pertaining to available authentication mechanisms:

Quote

Active Directory - Retrieves users and groups from the Active Directory configured for the server machine. For Windows servers only.

I just want to verify now, before we have to do any work, that the Active Directory authentication option does not work when the PlasticSCM server is running on a Linux-based OS. I haven't tried it personally yet, just looking for confirmation. Thank you!

Hi,

If you are using a Linux Plastic SCM server, you can use LDAP authentication mode (type of the server: Active Directory) but you can't use Active Directory authentication mode.

I appreciate the help, thank you! (Sorry for the delay in responding, got sidetracked elsewhere.)
