Hi,

We would like to use AD for authentication but have come across a couple of issues.

First some background. We're running SSGD 4.4 on Solaris and have all our users in NIS. We also have all our users in AD. We would like to utilise AD for authentication and Directory Integration for restricting access to apps in SSGD.

Our first problem is that we cannot put the AD login authority above that of UNIX and if a login is authenticated by UNIX the Directory Integration apps do not appear as the logged in user doesn't get mapped to an AD user. (Remember, all our users are in NIS *and* AD). Our initial work around was to disable the UNIX login authority but this gives us our second problem. It leaves you without Admin access as you can only add local users to the 'Global Administrator' role, not LDAP/AD.

Have other people come across this issue and found a solution?

Thanks.
