Centrify Resource Center Active Directory Integration Solutions Using the DirectControl NIS ServiceAPPLICATION NOTE
Using the DirectControl NIS Service
An Active Directory-Based NIS Service that Enables Secure Distribution of NIS Maps
Learn More
The Centrify DirectControl NIS Service enables UNIX admins to securely store, distribute, and deploy NIS maps through Active Directory, ensuring that all systems within a Zone share a common set of maps. The DirectControl NIS Service is fully integrated with the adclient daemon and vectors all NIS-related requests to Active Directory via DirectControl. The NIS service can fulfill requests both locally and from other machines on the network. For example, a network attached storage (NAS) device may be "hardwired" to only work with NIS. By configuring the NAS device to use the DirectControl NIS Service, this device can now use Active Directory as its central server for validating users. In this way, systems that need specific NIS functionality, such as automount map information, can continue to function but now are serviced through the centralized Active Directory system rather than a separate NIS service infrastructure.
