Installation and Upgrades / Ideas for integrating Zentyal into existing environment?
« on: August 17, 2011, 11:54:29 pm »
Hello,
I have a client with 20 or so PCs around the office without any domain controllers, users have their own local logins. There's a homegrown intranet app running on an old linux box with its own authentication system, and a Zimbra install on another linux box. Each users have 3 different login ID/passwords, one for the local PC, another for the intranet webapp, and another for Zimbra. There's a few network printers scattered around the office and the users connect to those via IP addresses.
I'm looking for some ideas on how to start integrating all of the systems together, getting them onto a domain login type authentication scheme and adding in VPN capability. Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this with Zentyal? My first thought is that the LDAP from Zimbra could probably serve as the authoritative one, has something like this been done in the past? Or is it a better practice to replicate the directory?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
