The Basics
Here's what you can do with the Likewise UID-GID Module and Likewise Open:
- Authenticate users and groups with Likewise Open 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.
