ADmitMac - 2.1

ADmitMac v2.0 allows Macintosh users running Mac OS X 10.2.x, Jaguar, or Mac OS X 10.3, Panther, to participate in Microsoft networks taking advantage of the directory services provided by Active Directory, NT and Apple's Workgroup Manager Directory Services. Administrators can manage their domain users in a consistent way without regard to what kind of computer they use. ADmitMac lets users log into a Macintosh with their domain credentials and then have access to files in their home directory. ADmitMac is tailored for multi-user, multi-computer scenarios with administrator defined network security. It supports the highest level of security and does not require the downgrading of security when using Windows Server 2003. Kerberos is used to provide secure directory access, thus reducing the risk of unwanted disclosure, spoofing, and man-in-the middle attacks. ADmitMac automatically configures the Macintosh to use Kerberos and obtains the necessary security keys from the domain and performs mutual authentication requiring the server to prove its identify. ADmitMac also works with older NT directory services. All communication with NT domain controllers is performed using SMB/CIFS protocols. ADmitMac will cache successful user login information for later use. This allows notebook or mobile users to continue using their domain account to log in when their Macintosh is not connected to the domain. ADmitMac v2.0 includes two major new features: Workgroup Manager plug-ins for both the Mac and PC and AD Commander. The Workgroup Manager plug-ins allow you to integrate Apple's Mac OS X Server MCX settings with your Active Directory domain server. And with AD Commander, you can access and update the Administrative Tools on your Active Directory Domain from your Macintosh.
