Likewise UID-GID Module> Overview



The UID-GID Management Tool Module

Here's what you can do with the Likewise UID-GID Module

  • Authenticate users and groups by using UID-GID information from Active Directory.

  • Centralize and simplify UID-GID management by using Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) to manage your Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X users.

  • Control access to Linux, Unix, and Mac computers based on the UID-GID values that you set.

  • Set home directories and login shells in ADUC.

  • Mirror your organizational units with Likewise cells and map Active Directory users and groups to UIDs and GIDs.

  • Administer organizational units for Linux and Unix with Cell Manager, a Likewise MMC snap-in for managing Likewise cells.
