Hi All, First of all, many thanks indeed to the developers and community for making some great strides in the open source IPA world ! I am planning for a Linux deployment with the following requirements. -- About 50 Linux clients running Kubuntu (can change this to ubuntu if necessary) -- Centralized authentication -- Centralized storage with iSCSI for /home folder for each user by means of a dedicated storage -- NO Windows or other users -- Admin should be able to create and modify the accounts of all the users -- Admin should be able to set password policies -- Allocate /home folder for each user from the storage through iSCSI -- Server can be CentOS/RHEL (or even Fedora if absolutely required) -- Any other administration of users if possible ! I was wondering whether FreeIPA makes sense to me in this scenario ? can it satisfy all these or at least some of these ? if not, can anyone suggest me some alternative solutions which are open source ? I am flexible on the requirements and can make modifications if that is required. I would really appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks in advance and regards, Nidal ______________________________ Yes Nidal, you will find that FreeIPA satisfies almost all of these requirements. iSCSI managment is not a feature of FreeIPA. If you are looking to begin now, I would recommend that you start with Fedora as your base server distro. IPA will be available for RHEL as a Feature preview in 6.1 with plans to be fully supported and integrated by 6.2. -JR _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
