[Samba] SSO across multiple physical subnets

[adrian sender]

Hi Tom,

Sounds like a "chapter 6 samba 3 by example"  scenario.

Cheers,
Adrian Sender.

>
>- I have a Samba 3 PDC in our corporate office as well as three remote
>offices.
>
>- Each remote office is in a different physical building and connected to
>the Corporate office either via Point-to-Point T-1 or a Cisco PIX on-demand
>VPN tunnel. Each office resides in a separate IP subnet.
>
>- Each office is a separate domain. Each server has it's own domain user 
>and
>group accounts.
>
>- I have laptop users who travel between the various offices on a regular
>basis. I also have some desktop users who travel to remote offices to
>provide training and such.

>What I'd like to do is make this a fault tolerant, SSO environment. Fault
>tolerance is very important for us in case one of the VPN tunnels or T-1s
>goes down--each office would still need to be able to log in to their
>server(s) and work.
>
>Another challenge has been laptop users--if they're configured for the
>Corporate office domain, they cannot access the domains of remote offices
>while on-site at those locations. This has always been a manual workaround
>for them to get access to printers and network shares.

>Can anyone suggest a direction to go in here? I know this is a lot, I'm not
>looking for someone to do the work. I just need some help locating the
>appropriate technology or how-tos for configuring something of this scale.

>Thanks, in advance, for your help!
