Solaris 11.1 login authenticate with windows active directory

Hi,

is that possible to login to solaris 11.1 authenticate with windows active directory? the user id is created in the windows active directory.

Environment:
Solaris 11.1
Windows 2012 Active Directory

Yes, but it is a many stage process...

On the AD server you need to install the Unix schema, add a proxy account and add the Unix properties to the relevant users

On the Solaris host you need to add domain and search to dns, set up Kerberos, LDAP client and PAMD entries...

This looks like a good online resource on the topic

The link is about setting up traditional ldap authentication against an active directory.

Starting from Solaris 11, there is an simpler way, the nss_ad (name service switch / active directory) module.
