A best practice is to use Microsoft Active Directory with Windows Services for UNIX and RFC 2307 attributes to manage Linux, UNIX, and Windows systems. Integrating UNIX and Linux systems with Active Directory centralizes identity management and eases interoperability, reducing the need for user mapping rules. Make sure your domain controllers are running Windows Server 2003 or later. For more information about RFC 2307, refer to the following KB:
