Topic: Centrify From a Sysadmin Perspective

Speaker: Tony Rudie

Centrify is a commercial product that facilitates Unix and Linux
machines joining Microsoft Active Directory and using that for
authentication and directory. "Directory," in this context, means the
information that was traditionally culled from NIS, NIS+ or LDAP, such
as automount maps. This talk will take a quick look at the problem, give
an overview of what Centrify does and how it does it, and offer a few
cautionary tales about implementation, based on the presenter's
experience.

Tony Rudie is a senior systems engineer in Investment Management
Technology at Fidelity Investments, where he has been responsible for
NIS and Kerberos, on and off, for 17 years.
