Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT, Deployment Manual

LDAP
Users are administered centrally on an LDAP server for all systems in the network.
More information is available in Section “Configuring an LDAP Client with YaST”
(Chapter 4, LDAP—A Directory Service, ↑Security Guide).
NIS
Users are administered centrally on a NIS server for all systems in the network.
See Section “Configuring NIS Clients” (Chapter 3, Using NIS, ↑Security Guide)
for more information.
Windows Domain
SMB authentication is often used in mixed Linux and Windows networks. Detailed
information is available in Section “Samba Server in the Network with Active Di-
rectory” (Chapter 24, Samba, ↑Administration Guide) and Section “Configuring a
Linux Client for Active Directory” (Chapter 5, Active Directory Support, ↑Security
Guide).
Along with user administration via LDAP and NIS, you can use Kerberos authentication.
To use it, select Set Up Kerberos Authentication. For more information on Kerberos,
refer to Chapter 6, Network Authentication with Kerberos (↑Security Guide).
Release Notes
After completing the user authentication setup, YaST displays the release notes. Reading
them is recommended, because they contain important up-to-date information which
was not available when the manuals were printed. If you successfully tested the Internet
connection, read the most recent version of the release notes, as fetched from SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server's servers. Use Miscellaneous > Release Notes in YaST or start
the SUSE Help Center to view the release notes after installation.
Hardware Configuration
At the end of the installation, YaST opens a dialog for the configuration of the graphics
card and other hardware components connected to the system. Click the individual
components to start the hardware configuration. For the most part, YaST detects and
configures the devices automatically.
