What is CID?

CID (Closed In Directory) is a set of bash scripts for inserting and managing Linux computers in "Active Directory" domains. Modifications made to the system allow Linux to behave like a Windows computer within AD.

You can do things like:

  • Run logon scripts;
  • Automatically mount network shares (files and printers);
  • Offline logon (Credential cache);
  • Easily grant privileges to domain users (eg: access to the sudo command);
  • Manage Samba shares (files and printers) through a graphical interface;
  • Apply disk quota per shared directory (such as Windows Server).
