Authentication Integration
Because we know that your current infrastructure is of considerable value, we've made sure that Ubuntu Server Edition integrates perfectly into it without having to modify it. Whether you are running Windows, Unix, MacOSX or other flavors of Unix, Ubuntu Server Edition comes with all the tools to easily integrate with your current user management systems, allowing your clients to seamlessly authenticate, share documents and access services.
We know that this interoperability should be made as easy as possible and our engineers are constantly working on improving its automation so that you have less to configure and more time to get real work done. Ubuntu 8.04 adds likewise-open, a package allowing Ubuntu servers join an active directory domain in a single command.
