Hi

Neither of the above links talk about migrating the existing passwords.
They only give information about creating new unix accounts and
configuring Linux to authenticate and authorize using new accounts.

Hi

I am working as a student system administrator for my university.
Currently, we have all the students accounts on a Unix machine and we
use a custom build service to provide centralized authentication via
this server. We want to move all these accounts to Active Directory to
provide a proper centralized authentication infrastructure. Since we
have too many users, so resetting everyone's password is not feasible
here. Therefore, we need to migrate these user accounts along with
their current unix passwords into Active Directory. Is there a way to
do so?
