- 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

- * 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
