Fedora Directory Server: An enterprise-ready LDAP server
March 14, 2010 by christian · Leave a Comment
A directory server provides a centralized directory service for your intranet, network, and extranet information. Directory Server integrates with existing systems and acts as a centralized repository for the consolidation of employee, customer, supplier, and partner information. You can extend Directory Server to manage user profiles and preferences, as well as extranet user authentication. With Fedora Directory Server, you get a secure, highly scalable, robust LDAP server. This includes multi-master replication and all of the features you’d expect from an enterprise-ready LDAP server. You get a graphical management console that you can use not only for user/group/role/account management, but also for all aspects of server management, from backup/restore/import/export, replication, database/suffix creation, access control, to server monitoring, metrics gathering, and logs. You also get an Admin Server, our http engine which provides several web applications, such as a phonebook, a graphical org chart, an admin express management page, and a replication monitoring page.

The goal of this website is to give an end to end open source solution for a typical small company including Telephony, Document management, Customer Relation Application, Networking, Remote access, Desktop solutions and so on.
Although only the tools/applications have been listed on the website for the moment, a complete network diagram and individual how-to articles will follow.
Please note that for most of the installation instructions, we will not re-invent the wheel. A large number of very competent experts have already written how-to articles, we will just refer you to those. We will only document the missing links between the different components or if we feel that some installations could be better documented.
