About
FreeIPA (IPA = Identity, Policy, Audit) is a very popular open source project to make centralized management of accounts, access rules and a lot more. It implements Kerberos authentication so you no longer have to create local users when you create your 50th Linux install.
https://www.freeipa.org/About.html
FreeIPA includes a certificate system, NTP and DNS services in addition to the Kerberos client.
If this sounds like alphabet soup, FreeIPA basically makes you jump to any user and not have to reauthenticate - your login carries over. If larger environments, you can control which users have access to which hosts and what they can do on said hosts. It manages password policies, certificates (like auto-renewing expired certs) and DNS using more advanced features like DNSSEC and encrypted resolvers.
We'll focus on the basics - getting started. Using a few VMs, we'll setup a FreeIPA server and create one or two client VMs and show how they are able to share authentication and access. We may even have time to show how you create multiple replicas so a single server failure doesn't take away your ability to login.
