Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 SP1 is the next generation of the Novell® services that have long been
valued by a wide variety of businesses and other organizations, ranging from small businesses to multi-
national enterprises. When you install OES 2 SP1, you install SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP2 as the core OS and the OES 2 SP1 components as an add-on product.
Windows Domain Services:
Novell Domain Services for Windows (DSfW), a component of Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 SP1,
creates seamless cross-authentication capabilities between Windows/Active Directory*
and Novell OES 2 Linux/eDirectory™ servers. This suite of technologies allows Novell customers with Windows networking environments to set up one or more “virtual” Active Directory domains in an eDirectory tree.
Users can then log in and authenticate to both eDirectory and Active Directory from a Windows workstation without requiring multiple logins or having the Novell Client™ for Windows installed.
With Domain Services for Windows, eDirectory users can use familiar Windows desktop operations to access file services regardless of the platform/operating system where the service resides. Users can access Novell Storage Services™ (NSS) volumes on Linux servers by using Samba shares or NTFS files on Windows servers that use CIFS shares. eDirectory users can also access shares in trusted Active Directory forests.
