IM with Univention

Hi!

We have a hybrid Linux/Windows Infrastructure whose Windows side is of course managed with AD and the Linux side currently “managed” via Salt, which basically means that we rollout Admin Users including hashed passwords/ ssh keys onto new VMs and try to avoid application/service users.
Time will come that we need to setup a reasonable ident management for the Linux side in our environment which leads us to have a closer look to freeIPA or the Samba project.

So my question to the people in the know here: would Univention be such a solution to us considering following environment and demands:

  • Its just about our server infrastructure - no front office / clients
  • Admins have a single User for both Linux and Windows
  • Many application/service users with limited access (at the very latest when we start deploying containers)
  • All CentOS environment in our house

Would be happy to read your thoughts on that!

bump Any thoughts?
