Concepts

Managing Unix hosts with Group Policy > Safeguard Authentication Services Group Policy > Concepts

Group Policy consists of both agent and server software. You install the agent software on Unix computers and use it to apply Group Policy settings. The server software extends existing Microsoft frameworks for managing Group Policy. After installing the Group Policy agent-side extensions, administrators interact mostly with the server-side extensions which enable Unix policy configuration.

How Safeguard Authentication Services Group Policy works

Managing Unix hosts with Group Policy > Safeguard Authentication Services Group Policy > Concepts > How Safeguard Authentication Services Group Policy works

Safeguard Authentication Services Group Policy is a built-in component of Safeguard Authentication Services. After joining the domain, Unix hosts display as computer objects in Active Directory just like Windows servers and workstations. Group Policy Objects link to Unix computer objects in the same way as they link to Windows computer objects.

Group Policy allows Unix hosts to participate in the WindowsGroup Policy infrastructure. Group Policy uses the Kerberos and LDAP infrastructure provided by Safeguard Authentication Services to implement Group Policy on Unix in a way that mirrors the Windows Group Policy implementation.

Group Policy framework for Unix

Managing Unix hosts with Group Policy > Safeguard Authentication Services Group Policy > Concepts > Group Policy framework for Unix

Group Policy consists of server-side extensions to the Group Policy Object Editor and Unix client-side software. Using the Group Policy extensions to the Group Policy Object Editor (GPOE), administrators can create and edit Unix policies. The Group Policy agent is responsible for reading policy configuration data and applying policies to Unix hosts.

Server-side extensions

Managing Unix hosts with Group Policy > Safeguard Authentication Services Group Policy > Concepts > Server-side extensions

Server-side extensions are software packages that extend the functionality of existing Microsoft Group Policy management tools. Group Policy provides one extension for the Group Policy Object Editor (GPOE):

Namespace extensions
Group Policy extends the namespace of the Group Policy Object Editor: that is, Group Policy adds several Unix-specific nodes to the scope and resultant views of the Group Policy Object Editor.
