Unix app authenticate against Windows domain

Asked by Steviek411 in Unix Network Security, Sun Solaris, Unix Operating Systems

Currently we create user accounts in Unix and on my windows 2003 domain seperately.

I have an application running on a unix server that my users telnet into.  My users first have to authenticate to my Windows 2003 domain that my workstations  are attached to (When they start their machines (Windows XP)) then when they want to use the application on my Unix system they have to telnet into it and enter in another set of  usernames and passwords that I have to control on my unix box.

How can I have my unix box authenticate users against my Windows domain, so my windows domain controls all the security? Is this possible?
