Why must we use an <strong>Active</strong> <strong>Directory</strong> Server ?•Windows clients do not allow replacement of their lowlevelfunctionality to ease integration <strong>with</strong> nonWindows directoryservers.•As usual, it is easier to configure nonWindows systems tointeroperate <strong>with</strong> Windows systems than vicaversa.•The free release of Microsoft Services for UNIX does help here,although the protocols used (NIS) are not as secure as using thenative protocols of Kerberos and LDAP.•<strong>Active</strong> <strong>Directory</strong> servers can have their LDAP schema (the formaldefinition of the format of the data they store) extended to allowthem to serve nonWindows clients.
