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.
