[Ilugc] Re: Linux usage statistics
From: Girish Venkatachalam girishvenkatacha...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Ilugc] Linux usage statistics To: ILUG-C ilugc@ae.iitm.ac.in You mean MS-ADS? ? SSO (LDAP + Kerberso) was there much before MS-ADS came out in Windows 2000. ?Windows NT domain controller on paper looks like NIS concepts. ? MS-ADS is LDAP + Kerberos plus their **proprietary** extensions to *open* standards which makes MS-ADS a non standard. ? ?To implement the proprietary extensions one has to sign a NDA with MS - which means any FOSS solution will not be able to implement them because of it's own licensing terms. ?Samba4 is making progress in implementing a clean room version of MS-ADS features but it is not yet ready ?for production use. Samba4? Yeah it is slowly and surely getting stable. In fact Samba is an incredibly well funded open source initiative. It is unfortunate it is GPL. Why is this unfortunate? As to single sign on I am sure LDAP existed for a very long time though a good implementation is lacking. SSO never took on in the UNIX for some reason. Even NIS does not seem very popular. People love Windows shares and Samba. Please take a look at Apache Directory Server. http://directory.apache.org/ Some documentation on interoperability on Windows, Linux etc with documentation on how to set it up: https://cwiki.apache.org/DIRxINTEROP/ If you prefer a more enterprisy (read as expensive), try out the Oracle Identity Management solutions. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/id_mgmt/index.html Or Novell: http://www.novell.com/products/identitymanager/ Or Quest: http://www.quest.com/identity-management/ I will be very surprised if none of these solutions can address your requirement. To the person who posted this question originally senthilraja P technocr...@gmail.com: The only reason your company is able to move to Sharepoint wholesale is perhaps because your company has a homogeneous computing environment using just windows. If you had sufficient numbers of Solaris servers, IBM mainframes, Apple Macs etc, then you would have to consider a solution which is based on more open standards. With the new gadgets such as iphone, android phones, blackberry etc all with wifi capabilities, you will really need to look at a solution which isn't so tied down to windows. There are some really good reason why Linux isn't taking off more on the desktop, but SSO and identity management isn't the killer feature missing on Linux which is causing Linux not to grow in the enterprise as much as it should.

I would like to thank the following folks: - Soundar from Chennai for his fantastic continuing voluntary contribution in helping to scan these books. - My wife, Harshada for designing the HTML layout, images/thumbnails for the Marathi ebooks. - Alumni of PUMBA (Pune University MBA) for sponsoring the Marathi ebooks project. The localized educational content project wiki is being hosted on their website. - Various OLPC India volunteers for their inputs. Work is underway to procure Hindi textbooks and Kannada textbooks. We need volunteers to help with this and for other languages. The ebooks are being released under Creative Commons so that they can be used by others to build on top of it. It would be great if few of you can test the books. After downloading on XO, open the Browser. On left navigation, under Other, you will see link to the ebooks. After testing, it would be great to have volunteers help to pass these ebooks to the school in Khairathttp://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_India/Khairat_Chroniclewhere real students can use them on their XO. cheers, Harshal ___ India mailing list in...@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/india -- ┌─┐ │Narendra Sisodiya │http://narendrasisodiya.com └─┘ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
