Unified Domain Model
You can use the Unified Domain Deployment Model in environments with the following
characteristics:
• A domain consisting of Windows 200x servers.
• The Windows 2000 or 2003 domain controller maintains the UNIX UID and GID data with
Windows Services for UNIX (SFU).
NOTE: SFU Version 3.5 does not support the Windows NT4 Domain.
• Support for any number of HP CIFS Servers that provide file and print services for number of
users. It requires LDAP-UX Integration software on an HP CIFS member server.
The Unified Domain Model provides the following benefits:
• Support for Windows domain member single sign on, network logon, and Windows and
UNIX account management system.
• Easy expansion capability.
Figure 9-9 shows the Unified Domain Deployment Model as follows:

The Unified Domain Model consists of a Windows 200x server with Active Directory Services
(ADS) configured as a Domain Controller (DC), and a single or multiple HP CIFS member servers.
To use the Windows 200x ADS server as a data repository to consolidate Windows and UNIX
user accounts, you need to install the Services for UNIX (SFU) add-on package which extends the
Active Directory schema based on RFC 2307 to allow integration of POSIX attributes. All user
management is unified on the Windows 2000/2003 ADS Server; winbind is not required. You
must install and configure the LDAP-UX Integration software on your HP CIFS member server. The
LDAP-UX Integration software helps HP CIFS Server machine access UNIX user account data from
the ADS Server.
"LDAP-UX Client Service with Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory Administrator's Guide",
available at http://docs.hp.com, provides help for HP-UX ADS client configurations.
