Multiple solutions exist to integrate Linux distributions with Microsoft Active Directory (AD). Horizon Agent for Linux has no dependency on which solution is used.
Note: For ease of deployment, if available for your Linux distribution, use System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) Authentication.
The following solutions are known to work for a Linux virtual machine running Horizon Agent.
-
OpenLDAP Pass-through Authentication supports integration with Active Directory for desktops running any Linux distribution supported by Horizon Agent.
Note: For OpenLDAP Pass-through Authentication, you can perform the configuration in a template virtual machine. No additional steps are required in the cloned virtual machines.
-
System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) Authentication supports offline domain join with Active Directory for instant-cloned desktops running any Linux distribution supported by Horizon Agent.
-
PowerBroker Identity Services Open (PBISO) Authentication supports offline domain join with Active Directory for instant-cloned desktops running Ubuntu.
-
Samba supports offline domain join with Active Directory for instant-cloned desktops running any Linux distribution supported by Horizon Agent. However, we recommend using SSSD Authentication instead.
