This patch: - bumps up the minimum version of python-nss - will initialize NSS with nodb if a CSR is loaded and it isn't already init'd - will shutdown NSS if initialized in the RPC subsystem so we use right db - updated and added a few more tests Relying more on NSS introduces a bit of a problem. For NSS to work you need to have initialized a database (either a real one or no_db). But once you've initialized one and want to use another you have to close down the first one. I've added some code to nsslib.py to do just that. This could potentially have some bad side-effects at some point, it works ok now.
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.
