"Extending FreeIPA" is a developer guide of FreeIPA core framework. Please make sure to improve the guide every time parts of the core framework are affected by your changes. This document ideally should correspond to the current state of the framework. The Guide is written using Emacs Org Mode but can be edited with any plain text editing tool. Emacs is only required to convert it to distribution formats like HTML and TXT. See guide/Makefile for building the guide and README for details of the build environment. |

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.
