genuinely interested, what are the alternatives ?
i know ping/forgerock and some old ibm stuff.
what is state of the art today that compares to ActiveDirectory (not talking azureAd - or whatever they call it these days) ?
- firesteelrain 1y agoSamba4 is the closest you can get. It is not as nice as ActiveDirectory.
- smaudet 1y ago> Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix Servers and Desktops into Active Directory environments. It can function either as an Active Directory Domain Controller or as a member server. What's something that AD provides that this does not? It certainly sounds like an (almost) drop-in replacement.
- firesteelrain 1y agoSamba4 covers core AD features like Kerberos, LDAP, and can act as a DC, but it’s not a full drop-in. GPO support is limited, management tools aren’t as robust (no full RSAT equivalent), and some advanced AD features (like DAC or ADCS) aren’t supported. Fine for smaller setups, but not 1:1 with enterprise AD.
- xcrunner529 1y agoWhy not Okta? I know a company that uses it and no AD. (But they are mostly Mac)
