Information Security Officer Interview Question:

Explain how would you login to Active Directory from a Linux or Mac box?

Submitted by: Muhammad

While it may sound odd, it is possible to access Active Directory from a non-Windows system. Active Directory uses an implementation of the SMB protocol, which can be accessed from a Linux or Mac system by using the Samba program. Depending on the version, this can allow for share access, printing, and even Active Directory membership.
