[ale] How do you manage users across your organization?

[Preston via Ale]

Hey folks,

Like the subject says, I'm looking to see what solutions others are
using to manage their organizations.

My particular place has Linux desktops/servers, MacOS desktops,
Microsoft Windows desktops/servers that are tied to AD. We use cloud
services for email and it's an island. The same for website document
access. We have a web service and management is pushing to incorporate
those users (currently several hundred) into our system as well.

The thought (hope) is to have a single place that will manage all users
to simplify account creation and lockouts.

So can you give me some suggestions as to what you are using and maybe
the pros/cons?

Thanks all,
Preston

Look into FreeIPA. It's a really nice suite, I doubt you'll be needing
anything else

I'm curious as to what directory studio provides, other than low-level ldap access, that is needed for user management? The cli for freeipa is rather complete and keeps changes within the structure well.

I used directory studio to extract user data from an old AD setup then migrated to freeipa.

Hi Preston,

As Dustin was saying FreeIPA is a viable solution. If you are already a Red
Hat customer then they have an implementation of FreeIPA called IdM ( short
for Identify Management)
