BeyondTrust AD Bridge centralizes authentication for Unix and Linux environments by extending Active Directory’s Kerberos authentication and single sign-on capabilities to these platforms. By extending Group Policy to non-Windows platforms, BeyondTrust provides centralized configuration management, reducing the risk and complexity of managing a heterogeneous environment.

Giving AD Bridge a try

In order to try AD Bridge without first setting up a cell we need to provide an option to assume the cell exists. Run the domainjoin-cli join command and it will prompt for the domain, username, and OU parameters if they are not supplied:
#/opt/pbis/bin/domainjoin-cli join --assumeDefaultCell force While this would give you an experience like the full enterprise software, it is not optimized. It should now be possible to login to the system as an AD user with ssh, su, or within the GUI login. Inside the bin folder you will find tools to explore like:

• adtool
• config
• enum-users/enum-groups
• pbis-status
• update-dns
