[sllug-members]: Auth to AD for IPSec

[weales at xmission.com]

I want to monitor a W2K3 Server that is running as FE Exchange 2003 OWA in 
the
DMZ via SNMP.

I’m using Cacti 0.8.6h running on FC4.

I understand that I need to create IPSec policies on the W2K3 Server to sec
ure
communications on TCP and UDP ports 161 and 162 to secure SNMP transactions
from the DMZ to the SNMP management console (Cacti).  I also understand tha
t
I need to “join” my FC4 Cacti box to AD so it can be authenticated via 
the
IPSec policy.

What is the best way to join/authenticate my FC4 box to AD so it can receiv
e
the encrypted SNMP traffic?  I have winbindd installed, and I can run wbinf
o
-u and -g to see the users and groups in AD, but it appears my authenticati
on
is still coming from the local machine, not AD.


Thanks
Ron
