The Benefits
When fully integrated, Mac OS X offers a complete managed environment where users can:
- Be fully controlled and must abide by the AD password policies.
- Have single sign-on access to the AD network through Kerberos.
- Utilise network-based home directories, local home directories, or a combination of the two called Portable Home Directories, which are similar to roaming profiles on Windows.
Integrating AD with Mac OS X Server allows Windows-based departments to take advantage of file sharing and other services in Mac OS X Server, while using their existing AD infrastructure for identification and authentication. Secure network services (including network home directories) hosted on Mac OS X Server also support single sign-on for both Mac OS X and Windows clients.
