RE: EIM & Mac

Not sure, but I would think Mac can hook into active directory since it's just another LDAP directory under the windows moniker.

This seems to make me believe it is automatic: http://training.apple.com/pdf/wp_integrating_active_directory_ml.pdf

FYI, I notice you mentioned having to change network security policy... There was a later IBM i patch (see below) that makes it so you don't have to lessen your windows / active directory security just to accomidate the IBM i. (meaning you no longer have to use the old, broken DES_* algorithms which were deprecated years ago in later versions of Windows and active directory).

Subject: EIM & Mac

Has anyone actually set up IBM's Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) on Mac? We've used EIM since about '08 but only on Windows. For Win7, the setup is simple. Just:
--Go into Local Security Policy => Security Options => Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos --Check DES_CBC_CRC, DES_CBC_MD5, RC4_HMAC_MD5, AES128_HMAC_SHA1 & AES256_HMAC_SHA1 --Reboot & Presto!

But Mac? I haven't a clue.
