    INTRODUCTION:
    -------------

    Happy New Year!  Unigroup's January 2010 meeting will cover
    Cross-Platform Integration across Unix, Linux and Windows systems.

    Unigroup Elections: Unigroup holds Board of Director Elections
    every January.  If you are a Unigroup Member and would like to
    run for the Unigroup Board, please contact us on or before our
    January 2010 meeting.

    Note: We are continuing to try to re-schedule our planned meeting
    on "The Latest in x86 Computer Architecture" to be presented by
    a leading PC hardware vendor.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
    ---------------------

    MAIN PRESENTATION
    -----------------

    Topic: Active Directory Integration with Unix and Linux Systems
           ========================================================

    - Introduction
      - Speaker Background
      - BeyondTrust
      - History of Directory Services
      - Why Active Directory?
      - Unix/Linux Integration with AD
      - Demonstration
      - References

    - Regulating Identities
      - Identities required for auditing and accountability
      - Directories proliferate to store identities
      - Identity Management is Decentralized
      - Islands of Identities
      - Non-standard data models

    - The Holy Grail: Unified Directory
      - X.500
      - LDAP v2
      - LDAP v3
      - Active Directory

    - Unified Directory
      - Single identity for authentication
      - Unified authentication
      - Not quite single sign-on (SSO)
      - Provides both authorization and authentication services in one

    - LDAP Schema

    - RFC 2307

    - Why Active Directory?
      - Unifies authorization and authentication
      - Built-in scalability
      - Extensibility
      - Leverage existing infrastructure
      - Interoperable
      - Flexible
      - Centralized Management

    - AD Integration with Unix/Linux
      - Active Directory Services (ADS) introduced with Windows 2000
      - LDAP v3 compliant
      - Kerberos compliant
      - Provides NIS capability (RFC 2307)
      - Windows client support built-in

      - Linux (open source)
        - OpenLDAP and SAMBA/Winbind
        - Kerberos (MIT, Heimdal, Shishi)
      - Commercial

    - Unix/Linux Authorization: LDAP
      - Authorization via Name Service Switch (NSS)
      - Requires mapping or storing Unix attributes
      - SFU: Services for Unix (deprecated/unsupported)
      - IMU: Identity Management for Unix
      - DNS is integral to LDAP to locate DCs

    - Unix/Linux Authentication: Kerberos
      - Authentication via PAM
      - Requires common time source (NTP)
      - DNS is integral to locate KDCs and for host name resolution
      - Benefits of using AD as KDC

    - Kerberos Process

    - Kerberos: Common Problems
      - Segmented/Firewalled Networks
      - DNS resolution, NSS host order
      - Clock skew errors (> 300 seconds)
      - UDP Fragmentation
      - Large groups / nested groups

    - Applications
      - Applications must be "Kerberized"
      - A service principal must exist for each app
      - Requires additional integration through PAM

    - Procedures/Examples for:
      - Verify AD DNS Resolution
      - Setting Time (NTP)
      - Setting Time (NTP)
      - Setup Kerberos Client
      - Verify Computer Account in AD
      - Verify Kerberos Client

    Giveaways:
    ----------

    Addison-Wesley Professional/Prentice Hall PTR, and O'Reilly have
    been kind enough to provide us with review copies of some of their
    books, which we will continue to raffle off as giveaways at our
    meetings.  The publishers always ask that the persons receiving
    the books provide a review and/or feedback about their books.

    Unigroup would like to thank both companies for the support
    provided by their User Group programs.

    As always, all of the books will be available for review at the
    start of the meeting.

    We have some Solaris Related CD-ROMs from our friends at the local
    NYC Sun Microsystems Office.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fee Schedule:
    -------------

    Unigroup is a Professional Technical Organization and User Group,
    and its members pay a yearly membership fee.  For Unigroup members,
    there is usually no additional charges (ie. no meeting fees) during
    their membership year.  Non-members who wish to attend Unigroup
    meetings are usually required to pay a "Single Meeting Fee".

        Yearly Membership (includes all meetings):      $ 50.00
        Student Yearly Membership (with current! ID):   $ 25.00
        Non-Member Single Meeting:                      $ 20.00
        Non-Member Student Single Meeting (with! ID):   $  5.00

      * Payment Methods: Cash, Check, American Express.

      ! Students: We are looking for proof that you are
        currently enrolled in classes (rather than working
        full-time), and as such, your Student ID should show
        a CURRENT date.  We have been presented Student IDs
        containing NO dates whatsoever, and in the
        current environment, perpetual/non-expiring access
        to university facilities just does not feel right.
        If your ID contains no date, please bring
        additional proof of current enrollment.  Thanks,

    NOTE: Simply receiving Unigroup Email Announcements does
          NOT indicate membership in Unigroup.

    Complimentary Food and Refreshments will be served.  This
