In order for ZENworks to function in a Windows (Active Directory) environment, you need to install eDirectory to synchronize with Active Directory and to manage your ZENworks objects. For more information, see "Installing in a Windows Network Environment" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Installation Guide.
If you don't have Dynamic Local User requirements, you can configure the ZENworks Management Agent configured for pass through mode to display the Windows login when your users log in. If the Windows user credentials match those required by the ZENworks tree (after synchronizing User objects with DirXML), users will be authenticated to Active Directory and to the ZENworks tree. If the credentials don't match, the user is prompted for credentials again, this time with a ZENworks Management Agent login dialog box.
The following illustration shows a simplified process of using a ZENworks tree in an Active Directory environment.
For more information about pass through login, see "Synchronized Pass through Login" in "Setting Up Authentication" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Installation Guide.
