Tighter!
Six days into the network reconfig, still no go with the AD-Win98
authentication timeouts. I've also began to look at other authentication
schemes that lock Windows to the desktop only, not on the server side.
One promising scheme is pGINA, or Pluggable Graphical
Identification and Authentication, an add-on for the standard MS GINA
DLL. GINA is part of
early part of the boot process.
The plan is to have pGINA as the authentication front-end for LDAP,
from which users can authenticate for services such as network logins,
web access, and webmail.
Another cool toy is NetReg, which requires users to register their
hardware (NIC MAC addresses) before gaining full network access in a
DHCP-enabled environment. Again, LDAP will be used to authenticate valid
users.
I'm hoping to work this out using my VMWare environment, once I get
Slackware to work here. Nice prospects ahead.
I've also installed TightVNC on the DC so that the sysads can get
to it remotely. Great toy, this one.
