Likewise Enterprise Screen Shots

Domain Join Command-Line Utility

Likewise includes libraries that configure Linux, Unix, and Mac computers for seamless, error-free domain joins by automatically creating or modifying PAM, nsswitch, /etc/hosts, and Kerberos configuration files.

Command-Line Tools

Likewise comes with a set of command-line tools, which are located in the /opt/likewise/bin directory on Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X platforms. The tools include utilities for finding users and groups in Active Directory, managing Kerberos tickets, troubleshooting connections to domain controllers, obtaining status and metrics, and diagnosing problems.

Custom Access and Compliance Reports

Likewise empowers you to create custom reports about Linux and Unix users, groups, computers, forests, and domains within Active Directory. There are a variety of access reports to illustrate the state of your access control rules. You can also choose from an assortment of compliance reports to help demonstrate regulatory compliance.

Group Policies for Logon, Authentication, and Authorization

Likewise lets you define group policies for computers running Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X. Likewise includes more than 100 policies that are custom made for non-Windows computers. All the policies are integrated with the Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor.

Group Policies for Mac

Likewise comes with more than 20 Mac-specific group policies. For instance, a Mac group policy can log firewall activity on target computers running Mac OS X.

Security Group Policies for Linux, Unix, and Mac

Likewise offers a number of group policies to manage security, such as a group policy to specify a sudo configuration file for target computers running Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X. The sudo configuration file is copied to the local machine and replaces the local sudoers file. The sudo file can reference local users and groups or Active Directory users and groups. This policy can control sudo access in a centralized and uniform way.

Policies Targeted by Operating Systems

Likewise can set the target platforms for a group policy, applying the settings to only the platforms that you choose. The target platforms can be set by operating system, distribution, and version. For example, target a group policy only at computers running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Or, you can target the policy at a mixture of operating systems and distributions, such as Red Hat Linux, Sun Solaris, Ubuntu Desktop, Mac OS X, and HP-UX.

Group Policies for Managing Interoperability Settings

Likewise provides a range of group policies to manage the settings of Linux and Unix machines, including policies for specifying how Linux computers interoperate with Active Directory. Likewise integrates the policies with the Microsoft Group Policy Management Console so you can view reports and details about your policies.

A Graphical User Interface for Joining Domains

The optional graphical user interface version of the Likewise domain join tool can run on a Linux computer after you have installed the Likewise agent.

A Graphical User Interface for Macs

There is a graphical user interface version of the Likewise domain join tool for Macs.

NIS Migration Tool

The NIS migration tool imports Linux and Unix password files and group files and maps them to the users and groups defined in Active Directory. The tool lets you resolve conflicts and ambiguous user names before you commit the changes.

Access Control with Likewise Cells

Likewise cells are associated with Active Directory organizational units to map a user to different UIDs and GIDs for different computers.
