Windows Domain Model
You can use the Windows Domain Model in environments with the
following characteristics:
• Deploy Windows NT4, Windows 200x Mixed Mode, or Windows 200x
ADS servers (with NetBIOS enabled).
• Support for any number of HP CIFS servers that provide file and
print services for corresponding numbers of users. It requires HP-UX
LDAP Integration Client software for ADS domain member servers.
• Access to an LDAP-UX Netscape Directory Server as the backend
storage for larger deployments to maintain winbind ID maps across
multiple HP CIFS Servers.
The Windows Domain Model provides the following benefits:
• Support for Windows domain member single sign on, network logon,
and Windows account management system.
• Support for easy user management across multiple HP CIFS servers
by using winbind.
• Easy expansion capability.
