Is your terminal server a standalone server or is it part of an Active Directory domain ? If standalone create user accounts on the Leopard server using Open Directory if you want a form of network authentication, but users will still have to use their local credentials on the termnal server when they log in.

We already have a windows terminal server with active directory, Now we are going to add a leopard server as a PDC and plan to migrate the users of the active directory to Leopard server. we want to use open directory user for terminal server login. so that we can continue to use terminal server for our thin clients. is it possible to integrate like this. pls suggest.

I think you can import AD users into Open Directory, certainly you can link the two. The manual on that part is quite hefty and I am wading through it at the moment.

If you go to the Support section of Apple's web site all the 10.5 server manuals are available. You need the Open Directory one which explains how to make OD and AD work together.
