active directory authentication

[johansen]

just a short question, is it possible to authenticate via IAS when logging in TSM and if yes, what's needed for that?

thanks

TSM authentication is handled within TSM and doesn't have hooks or an API for using AD or an LDAP. (TSM 5.5 and below, haven't looked into it for 6.1) It'd be nice for TSM to use PAM for authentication.

I have searched a way to do this for a long time but never found one.

Any updates to this? My best customer... the DBA ... would like to use active directory to control who can do what with TSM on their servers.

I heard TSM server 6.4 does AD/Kerberos logins but trying to find out more.

Thanks LED888, I hadn`t seen it. I was hoping for something simple to setup. I take it you dont use AD logins for TSM admins ?
