Implantação e estudo de um sistema utilizando o active directory

Abstract

The evolution in the treatment of information came to revolutionize the world where we live, opening the borders with new forms of communication and allowing bigger efficiency of the computational systems. The computer networks are a reality in this context and also they are part of all this process. As result, the operational systems of net if had perfected and started to generate much more that simple archives of net and services of impression. They now need a transparent management of the relations between the resources of net distributed and its users. Therefore, the increase in the size of the nets and the constant changes for which the same ones are inserted, had made with that the people and the organizations in general way, started to need services that disponibilizem an access each more transparent time. However, it appears to the necessity to work with a database centered, making possible the simplification of the management; fortifying the security; increasing the interoperabilidade, amongst other benefits that bring more easiness in creating and manipulating these information. A sufficiently usual problem in companies is to create a unified system of authentication. With the interaction of protocol LDAP to Active Directory it can guarantee that all the users of this company can have its unified accounts of access in a domain. An option that can be disponibilizada to the user is to allow to the interaction between a Windows server and a Linux computer (using), making possible a bigger number of users in the net and greater free use of softwares. This interaction alone is carried through by means of the two operational systems to use standard of protocols, the LDAP the same. This work also makes one brief description of others softwares of net that use protocol LDAP.
