anybody thought of creating a user provisioning software? Sort of like an identity management?
Get the user names and initials and id numbers from an HR database, the create the accounts.
Then update it regularly -- those terminate, accounts get removed.
extend the hr database to have a lookup on what servers this user has access to, maybe add a table for roles (maybe groups), and another table for user to role mapping.
While you're at it, set up a simple website for the user to be able to change their password.
Create a script to update all servers he has access to (probably the access to the server is a role)
Do this via a remote ssh execution.
Voila you just made yourself an expensive identity management software. There's not much development out there yet in sourceforge...any takers?
