IPA commands now can be defined in these classes: - ipa_command: a single IPA command - ipa_batch_command: a batch command for executing multiple commands on the server side using the new batch plugin The dialog boxes for adding and removing entries have been refactored: - ipa_dialog: base class for dialog boxes - ipa_adder_dialog: generic adder dialog box - ipa_deleter_dialog: generic deleter dialog box - ipa_association_adder_dialog: adding entity association - ipa_association_deleter_dialog: removing entity association Dialog boxes for adding/deleting HBAC users, hosts, services, and sourcehosts are implemented using the association dialog boxes. The dialog box for adding access time is implemented using ipa_dialog and currently contains only a text field. This will be replaced with a custom dialog box in a separate patch. The dialog box for removing access time is implemented using the generic deleter class because it's not an association. Removing multiple access times is implemented using batch operations. New test data files for access times have been added.
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.
