IPA Server
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity,
|
|
authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems
|
|
by providing simple to install and use command line and web based
|
|
managment tools.
|
|
FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard
|
|
protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation
|
|
of installation and configuration tasks.
|
|
FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via
|
|
cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.
|
|
|
|
Benefits
|
|
--------

|
|
and security settings
|
|
* Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in
|
|
an authenticated and secure way
|
|
* Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services
|
|
and files only to specific users
|
|
* Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords,
|
|
SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules
|
|
* Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users
