Goal

This document explains steps to configure Oracle Linux 8 server to authenticate with Windows Active Directory Services without actually joining the server to the domain. This means, the user will exist in OL 8 server locally but without any password set locally. It will use password from Active directory while authenticating to Linux server.

Prior to implementing this, necessary configurations should be done in Windows Active Directory. This needs to be checked by specific Windows team for the corresponding customer environment.
