Likewise UID-GID Module

The Likewise UID-GID Module for Likewise Open extends Microsoft Active Directory so you can assign user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs) to Linux, Unix, and Mac users and groups.

Here's what you can do with the Likewise UID-GID Module and Likewise Open:

• Authenticate users and groups with Likewise Open by using UID-GID information from Active Directory.
• Centralize and simplify UID-GID management by using Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) to manage your Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X users.
• Control access to Linux, Unix, and Mac computers based on the UID-GID values that you set.
• Set home directories and login shells in ADUC.
• Mirror your organizational units with Likewise cells and map Active Directory users and groups to UIDs and GIDs.
• Administer organizational units for Linux and Unix with Cell Manager, a Likewise MMC snap-in for managing Likewise cells.
