Technical Analysis: OpenSSH on Linux using Windows/Kerberos for Authentication

jcannon — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:35:00 GMT

Abstract: Secure remote access to UNIX and Linux systems is generally accomplished through SSH. The most frequent implementation of that protocol is OpenSSH, originally written for the OpenBSD project but now ported to a wide variety of platforms. This paper will show how to use OpenSSH with the Kerberos portion of Active Directory to automate authentication.

PHP on IIS

Just about one year ago, Bill Hilf announced Zend and Microsoft's partnership to enhance PHP performance on Windows Server's IIS web server. This technical collaboration has focused on enhancing the reliability and performance of PHP on Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. As part of this collaboration, the IIS product group has been working on a new component for IIS6 and IIS7 called FastCGI Extension which will enable IIS to much more effectively host PHP applications.

Today, we're excited to announce the release of the Go Live version of Microsoft FastCGI Extension for IIS 5.1/6.0 (FastCGI Extension) as a free download. There's a ton more information on various community sites, so let's get right to it:

Download the FastCGI Extension (You'll need a running install of Windows Server. If you don't already, you can grab Windows Server 2003 R2 here.)
Detailed release information on IIS.NET and configuration documentation.
Join the PHP community discussion on IIS.NET

Would like to hear feedback from our community on this release and will ensure it is routed back to the OSSL and the IIS product team.
