FreeIPA

FreeIPA is a relatively young, by the company Red Hat to provide supported free software project with the aim of an easy-to -manage Identity, Policy and Audit system (IPA). The objectives and mechanisms of FreeIPA are comparable with those of commercial vendors, such as by the company Novell ( eDirectory) or from Microsoft ( Active Directory). In contrast to these proprietary systems FreeIPA combines several existing open source projects in a centrally managed system.

FreeIPA uses the 389 Directory Server (formerly Fedora Directory Server ) as an LDAP implementation, Dogtag Certificate System and MIT Kerberos for authentication and single sign-on.

FreeIPA supports Linux and Unix operating systems.
