what is the equivalent of Windows Active Directory in Linux?
Hey all, sorry for the low level question, but basically I'm looking for the easiest way to set up something like a Windows AD. This would be for something like 10 computers at a local church where I do a lot of their infrastructure work. Is also be interested in sound something similar on my home network, but a while directory is probably overkill. And any suggestions on learnings or other suggestions appreciated!

Depends, what are you going to use it for? Just authentication? OpenLDAP if so. If you want a full AD equivalent, it's still AD via Samba.
What are the church's requirements?
Right, so the church itself has no idea what they want/need. I'm basically doing all this set up for free, just so I can say I've done it. What I was really hoping for was authentication, but also group policy management and file share. Thanks for the response!
Non profits qualify for 10 free business premium licenses with MS. Hopefully a Linux cloud provider has something similar. You don’t want to have to go back to the church every week right?
The church being a nonprofit organization may be able to get GSuite for a super low cost or free.
