Insert a class before LDAPClient to cache the return value of get_entry() and certain exceptions (NotFound and EmptyResult). The cache uses an OrderedDict for the cases where a large cache might result an LRU model can be used. The cache be enabled (default) or disabled using ldap_cache=True/False. This cache is per-request so is not expected to grow particularly large except in the case of a large batch command. The key to the cache entry is the dn of the object being requested. Any write to or referencing a cached dn is evicted from the cache. The set of attributes is somewhat taken into consideration. "*" does not always match everything being asked for by a plugin so unless the requested set of attributes is a direct subset of what is cached it will be re-fetched. Err on the side of safety. Despite this rather conserative approach to caching 29% of queries are saved with ipatests/xmlrpc_tests/* https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/8798 Signed-off-by: Rob Crittenden <rcritten@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Rafael Guterres Jeffman <rjeffman@redhat.com>
FreeIPA Server
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 management 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
FreeIPA:
- Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials 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
- Integrates into Active Directory environments
Components
The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management tools for the following components:
- LDAP Server - based on the 389 project
- KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
- PKI based on Dogtag project
- Samba libraries for Active Directory integration
- DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
