PowerADvantage allows Unix hosts to become member servers of an AD forest and leverage AD's centralized user management and authentication capabilities.
All major enterprise Unix and Linux platforms are supported. Other Linux platforms such as Fedora are likely to work, provided they have relatively modern Kerberos and LDAP implementations.

do create some Symark-specific objects within AD.
Installation is a breeze: a straightforward MSI install on Windows and a tarball under Unix, which includes a text-based install script that walks you through the setup.
Normally, setting up Kerberos/LDAP on Unix hosts can be tricky, since each platform implements the protocols slightly differently with different flavors and locations of configuration files. Symark addresses this, abstracting Keberos/LDAP protocol implementation quirks on many Unix implementations, easing the headaches of configuring protocols on a given platform.
