UNIX Users Association of Southern California - LA

This page is for the Los Angeles County chapter of the UNIX Users Association of Southern California. We welcome people who are interested in any and all forms of UNIX. The primary focus of the group is our monthly presentations, which are designed to hopefully improve technical knowledge, rather than be just sales-type presentations.

Membership is FREE. Just come to a meeting, and sign yourself up for the (e)mailing list!


Next Meeting, Thursday Dec 4th, 7pm-9pm
Location: Sun Microsystems, El Segundo

Active Directory and UNIX/Linux

Neil Waybright

IMPORTANT: Please be prompt, as we plan to start at 7 pm SHARP !! The building is locked at 7 pm and anyone who arrives after that time will require a Sun employee to escort them to the meeting. It is also highly probable that those who arrive after 7:30 may not be able to attend the meeting.

A few years ago, we hosted a presentation on how to set up a heterogeneous environment using LDAP. Now, we will learn how to bridge Unix/Linux to Windows Active Directory without LDAP, Kerberos, or any additional software on either side.

At the December meeting of UUASC-LA, our own Neil Waybright who has spoken to us many times in the past, returns to explain how to inter-operate in a single environment by using the same AD 2008 setup that one's Windows hosts authenticate against.

Neil will cover configuring Active Directory to manage credentials and support Kerberos for UNIX clients, and then he will explain what work is required on Solaris and Linux clients to authenticate against a newly configured AD environment. He may even perform a live demonstration.

Neil is a systems engineer with more than 20 years of experience who now works for a large storage vendor. He has spoken at UUASC at least once each year since 2002.

Post meeting activities

Even if you eat pizza, you will still have room for dessert, so dont forget our optional gathering at Coco's restaurant in the Manhattan Beach mall, corner of Sepulveda and Marine Ave, for dinner and chatting. (Drive south of the meeting building down Sepulveda, turn left on Marine, and take an immediate left into the shopping area).

The chocolate cream pie is a particular point of interest ;-)


Directions to Sun Microsystems, El Segundo

A big thank-you to Matt Ingenthron of Sun, for providing us with our meeting place!
222 N. Sepulveda Blvd, Suite 1800, El Segundo, CA 90245
10th floor, to the right of the elevators.
Use the elevators on the west side of the building

This is one of the huge white "Pacific Towers" buildings. The one with
"Oracle" on the top, funnily enough...

From the 105 freeway:
  Take the Sepulveda (aka hwy 1, aka airport) exit, but go SOUTH.
  It's about a kilometre down Sepulveda, on the left.
  Take a left just BEFORE the building, on Grand avenue, and turn
  into "Visitor Parking"

From the 405 freeway:
  Take the exit just south of the 105 (El Segundo Blvd)
  Go west for 2+ miles on El Segundo Blvd.

  Turn right onto Sepulveda Boulevard. Stay in the right lane and take
  another right onto Grand Avenue. Pass the building on the corner
  completely and turn into the second driveway on the right were it says
  "Visitor Parking."

Parking:
Parking in the adjacent structure appears to have cycled back to
non-free, for now.

Here's a map for ya!
