Hi, I have to set up Centralized Authentication for a couple of data center that will consist of 100+ servers. The servers will all be RHEL or CentOS. No windows machines :-)
The solution should also be RHEL, or preferably CentOS based. I have been leaning towards a manual setup of: LDAP + NSS + Kerberos Something along the lines of these (2005) articles: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8374 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8375 (IYHO do those 3 year old articles seem a safe/sane place to start?) I/we prefer a solution that we can "own", particularly regarding familiarity with the internals and all the benefits that will provide. However from the looks of it a home grown solution does seem a bit combersome and my time frame is limited. I am aware that in the last few months there have been at least two threads dealing with Centralized Authentication (in December: "NIS vs LDAP" and in February: "AD Integration/Replacement") However both of those threads had a leaning towards Windows or mixed networks. I'm open to suggestions.
