 Hi,
 I have installed and configured the pki subsytems. I need to configure 
 it for user authentication using fedora directory server installed on 
 the same system. However in current environment all the user 
 information is stored on Windows Active Directory server and also the 
 authentication is being done by existing Windows AD server.
 In the console for administrator configuration: #pkiconsole 
 https:server.example.com:9445/ca 
 <
http://server.example.com:9445/ca>    I searched if i could enter the 
 information of the AD server (that holds user information, that checks 
 if user is valid) in "Authentication" section of the console but did 
 not find one.
 I need to provide Windows ADS information in the authentication 
 section of console, where do I provide the same?, 
You can't because we currently don't support this.
 or is there any other way for authenticating users as the user 
 information is based on another system (Windows AD Server)? 
Yes. Setup a fedora directory server instance that automagically 
synchronizes users and passwords from windows active directory using our 
"Password Sync utility". A Howto is here - 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:WindowsSync Downloads here 
- 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Download Once the initial sync 
to fedora directory server is complete , then you can use pkiconsole to 
authenticate to this instance.
Hope that helps.
thanks,
