NYLUG Presents: Simo Sorce on Identity and Directories with FreeIPA
Channel: NYLUG
Date: 02/06/2015

In this talk Simo will present how using FreeIPA as your Identity and Directory service can solve a number of management issues, from having a consistent set of credentials, to access control and administrative privileges delegation, all the way up to managing trust relationships with Active Directory environments.

The talk will also cover the technical details about how and why various off-the-shelf services like Kerberos, LDAP, DNS, PKI, and SSSD,  have been integrated into a consistent management system within FreeIPA.
