The last time I was looking at this stuff.. wink wink.. . I found myself pretty confused as to what (if any?) software worked with IPA. I mean it is Kerberos so I am guessing you can secure telnet and all the other mostly useless protocol Kerberos was designed to protect. I guess you can secure web browsing with kerberos tickets, but again, is that really common?<br>
<br>I ended up with the ssh-public keys in LDAP. <a href="http://code.google.com/p/openssh-lpk/">http://code.google.com/p/openssh-lpk/</a>. The reason I chose this was<br>1) I know LDAP<br>2) People were comfortable with SSH-KEYS<br>
<br>I still like it as a system actually. As to the IPA stuff, i could not figure out IF/HOW I could make it work with SSH, and the software stack needing it's own DNS server to control was a detraction.<br><br>Edward<br>

i remember hearing about openipa a little while ago. it looks pretty<br>
interesting to me :) cobbler/koan was(is?) a RedHat ET project and I<br>
found that it was well managed and the development was pretty wide open<br>
so that was great. Can't speak for OpenIPA though, i'd love to hear if<br>
anyone else has used it too!<br>
