Hello,
Does anybody out there have experience with FreeBSD in a Microsoft
Active Directory environment?
I am going to be delivering two servers to a client, both running
FreeBSD 5.2.1 with Apache as the front-end web server, and postgresql on
the backend database server.
During a meeting with their IT people a couple of days ago, most issues
were agreed upon, however, the director of IT informed me that I will
need to make both of these boxes conform to their Active Directory network.
I think what he was referring to is DNS and IP assignments, and that I
can't just hard code the hostname and IP address as I normally would and
expect it to work on their network, since they don't run bind or static
DNS services.
Has anybody had to deal with this and be able to point me in the right
direction so that I can test this out before delivery?
I do have an MSDN subscription (which I never use), but could try to set
up a basic Active Directory I suppose in my lab. I am a lapsed MCSE,
but that was during NT 4.0, and stopped really using Microsoft as
servers around year 2000, so I'm really behind the 8ball.
Thanks for any info.
