Linux Based Active Directory Service with RFID Authentication

Abstract / Excerpt:

Linux users are growing rapidly today in residences, offices, and school laboratories. Linux alone as an operating system is fast and seldom encounters crashes and instability but when considering the hardware, it can slow down production because of some hardware troubles and a certain workstation is inaccessible or very slow. Users can transfer to other workstations in a situation such as this but the files are no longer accessible. Taken from the concept of Active Directory Service in windows where user accounts are in a server and can be accessed by users from any workstation in the domain, this can be implemented in a Linux-based environment. With this system available in Linux, users can roam around different workstations within the same domain to access their own user accounts. RFID is also an option as an additional source of authentication for the user.
