Introduction

This project will enable Solaris to operate in a native Active Directory (AD) environment by providing the following components:

• New name service switch module to perform direct mapping from AD native schema to Solaris equivalents for passwd, shadow, groups and printers
• ID mapping facility to map Windows Security Identifiers (SIDs) to POSIX Identifiers (UIDs/GIDs) and vice-versa.
• AD Domain join support (including RFC3244 support)

The relationship between various name service and PAM enhancements projects is shown here

Documentation

The native identity mapping service is described in the Solaris CIFS Administration Guide and in the idmap(1M) and idmapd(1M) man pages.

The content of the following documents applies to Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) Build 90:

• Solaris CIFS Administration Guide.

• The idmap(1M) and idmapd(1M) man pages are included in OpenSolaris starting with build 68.

• Troubleshooting information for CIFS-related topics, including the Solaris CIFS service, the Solaris CIFS client, and the identity mapping service.

• A getting started document, which includes HOWTOs and tips for installing and configuring the Solaris CIFS service.

• The what's new with Solaris CIFS document includes the list of features and feature changes that have been introduced in SXCE since Build 79.

This troubleshooting, getting started, and what's new information is available for update by the community at http://www.genunix.org.
