Topic: FreeIPA
Presenter: Jeremy Agee & Chris Hudson
When: Thursday, May 9, 7pm
Where: Red Hat HQ, NCSU Centennial Campus, 1801 Varsity Dr, Raleigh, NC

FreeIPA is an integrated Identity and Authentication solution for
Linux/UNIX networked environments. A FreeIPA server provides
centralized authentication, authorization and account information by
storing data about user, groups, hosts and other objects necessary to
manage the security aspects of a network of computers.

This talk will describe the different parts of IPA and what each one does:

* What is an IdM system and why do i need one?
* What do we need to manage?
* overview of how do these parts work together NTP, LDAP, PKI, KDC,
HTTPD, and DNS
* client parts sssd, certmonger

The talk will then switch to a live demo of installing and configuring
a FreeIPA server, and adding a client to the IPA infrastructure. The
demo will cover CLI and Web UI for admins, dns management, krb5+nfs4
for file access, SSO for ssh + key management, and sssd caching for
when IPA servers are unavailable (anyone use a laptop?).

If there is enough time after the demo, we can go into enterprise
features like HBAC, sudo rules, Automount maps, selinux users, and AD
cross-realm trusts.
