This is an update to the earlier post where I linked to some RPMs which I maintain for my own purposes. If you find these useful, please feel free to download them.

In the filenames, el6 is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Centos), el5 is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Centos), fc7 is Fedora Core 7.

If a link is broken, feel free to have a click around the SVN repository, the root of where I keep all the RPM stuff is here. Or please email me.

Some RPMS

There is an update to this post, for the most recent be sure to check here.

I notice that occasionally the RPMs I mentioned in this post do indeed get downloaded. I’ve been adding the odd package as and when I need it and I haven’t been able to find a RPM. Also I’ve built some of those original RPMS for new distributions or architectures (x86_64 typically), so I thought maybe I ought to write an updated post.

In the filenames, el5 is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Centos), fc7 is Fedora Core 7 and if the letters are missing it will work with rl5!

    RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 Encrypted Microsoft Active Directory Authentication

    So after a few hours getting Linux authenticating happily from Active Directory, I turned my attention to getting it all working with encryption.
    Initially I had tried a telnet to port 636 (the LDAPS port) which failed, so it didnt look like my AD box was talking LDAPS. Somewhere to start I guess!

    RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 Microsoft Active Directory Authentication

    Today I set out to get RHEL 5.x (Specifically 5.5) to authenticate from a Windows 2003 R2 Active Directory. I used plenty of web pages, none of which were 100% correct for my setup, so I thought I’d document exactly what I did here for my own future reference, if anybody else finds it useful, so much the better. To start with, thanks to the following pages, between them, they got me about 80% of the way there:

    • Scott Lowe has a useful howto here. It is version 4 currently, click around his site to ensure he hasnt updated it before you use it as a reference.
    • The second resource I used is here.
