You certainly do not need Netware for
DNS/DHCP services for IPv6 – the latest BIND 9.x and dhcpd will work just
fine, and run on your Debian box. There is sufficient info on using them
with IPv6 on the Internet and in various books (e.g. O’Reilly DNS
& BIND 4th Ed). The config files are a bit obscure (esp. IPv6 reverse zones), but
workable. Your Mileage May Vary, but I personally prefer FreeBSD for
this sort of thing. We are about to release a really secure
and user-friendly appliance based on BIND, with full support for IPv6,
if you are interested. Watch our website (www.infoweapons.com) for details. What kind of user authentication are you
talking about? We often use client digital certificates for “strong
client authentication” (with HTTP or any client server protocol that supports
TLS), which is a very good technique (I know of no attacks against it
currently). This works fine regardless of IP version (4 or 6). We are
definitely doing that over IPv6 links today. You can create your own
digital certificates using OpenSSL or OpenCA (be sure you understand trust
domains and root certs first). If you prefer Radius, I understand there
are IPv6 compliant versions, but I’ve not used them myself. If you are looking for SSO (Single Sign
On) based on Windows Server, check out Samba 3.x and WinBind – we
do use that to allow login to UNIX boxes, email, websites, etc, using
the current Windows login and password. Again, a bit tricky to set
up but all details are available online or in books. I haven’t used any Novell software
in ages – they never really did seem to get the hang of TCP/IP (personal
opinion), and there is no excuse for using IPX/SPX these days (or other
forgotten tongues such as Banyan VIP) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Gauthier Hi. I am currently trying to do an IPv6 network with Netware, Debian 3.1
(2.6.14 kernel) and Windows 2003 Server. I am having problems installing Netware 6.5 that I needed for user
authentication and DNS/DHCP services. But I would like not to use Netware 6.5
because there is no real good support.
I would like to have an answer even if it is "No". Thanks a lot. |
