Hi,
I would like to see the ipa client scripts and possibly the admin tools
in a nice Solaris package. This would make my job a lot easier as we
have a lot of customers running Solaris. :)
For the server part I agree with you, keep it at RHEL.
SSSD @ Solaris / HP-UX / AIX ... well there isn't much (if any) of the
UNIX vendors selling their iron as client machines anymore. And I don't
see a considerable benefit in adding SSSD to servers, who will be well
connected to the network anyway.
Rgds,
Siggi

Hi,
There are OSS packages that can be installed into Solaris.....so I dont see why
freeipa cant be ported....at least the x86 CPU version anyway.
I think this will be a huge undertaking. It is not that simple. And is
there really a value for IPA to be on Solaris?
I can understand the client part but the server is less important. It is
a dedicated server running on BM or VM so does it really matter what os
it is running as long it is supported and affordable?
We as a dev community will be open to any effort to port the whole stack
to some other distribution but I bet there are better uses for someones
energy that we can utilize to deliver better functionality to this user
community.
Client is a different issue. I tried to talk to IBM, HP and Sun a year
ago. They are not interested in porting SSSD to their platforms.
Oracle/Sun may not want to do IPA but if you had ever had the mis-fortune to
try and use Oracle's IdM / OVD /OID you'd understand why few
techies/ppl/businesses want it.....its bloody awful to install let alone work
with or maintain....So its turns into a risky endeavour and no one sane wants
that much risk in their business....let alone the 6 figure costs..........and
yes Im talking over a million....
Hopefully we are getting away from the silo attitude of vendors.....Vendors
might want only their products in a customer site, but realistically customers
dont want that for lots of reasons, and pillaging your wallet is one of the
biggest....
In our case all that happens is we wont buy Sun kit if it doesnt work the way
we want to work....their loss.
regards

Hi,
Its quite interesting that there are no real clients for ipa outside of
RH/Fedora....this will probably do more to delay or restrict its adoption than
anything else.
Not sure what you are talking about. Any kerberos enabled service is a
service and any pam_krb5/nss_ldap or SSSD enabled system can be a client.
SSSD is in Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora, RH
Would be nice to have it in other OSs like Solaris and HP-UX but they
have other plans.

Steven
