The new model is based on permssions, privileges and roles. Most importantly it corrects the reverse membership that caused problems in the previous implementation. You add permission to privileges and privileges to roles, not the other way around (even though it works that way behind the scenes). A permission object is a combination of a simple group and an aci. The linkage between the aci and the permission is the description of the permission. This shows as the name/description of the aci. ldap:///self and groups granting groups (v1-style) are not supported by this model (it will be provided separately). This makes the aci plugin internal only. ticket 445
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
