AD Bridge 3.3 includes new features that will enable you to bridge Linux distributions with Windows Active Directory (AD) to manage Linux clients from an AD domain using Group Policy objects.
Micro Focus recommends the fully tested and certified platforms described in this page. However, customers running on other platforms or with untested configurations will be supported until the point Micro Focus determines that the root cause is the uncertified platform or configuration. Issues that can be reproduced on the certified platforms will be prioritized and fixed according to standard defect handling policies. For more information about support polices, see Support Policies.
