Does anyone have any suggestion on how to solve the problem of
centralized authentication for about 10 linux users? I'm trying to find
the easiest set-up possible but I'd like to have some kind of
encryption. I've been looking into CentOS directory server and am
currently trying to test how to get SSL enabled properly.
Otherwise I have also considered trying to authenticate Linux machines
against AD ('likewise open' anyone?) since I have some Windows machines.
Anyone have any good suggestions on where I can start?
Years ago, I wrote https://wiki.acm.jhu.edu/Moving_to_LDAP as notes to
myself while demystifying our transition fron NIS to OpenLDAP.
LDAP was pretty easy to set up in Debian, and would be the same in Ubuntu.
If it were me, I'd just set up openldap and skip
complicated-but-nice-seeming things like CentOS "directory server".
Unless they come with super easy to follow documentation for all the
clients you have, in which case, rock it with your socket.
