Hi all,


First of all, many thanks to our friends at JHL Technologies for the
fantastic cake at last month's FLUX 10th Anniversary celebration!


This month's presentation will be given by two longtime FLUX members:

Kwan Lowe and Mick Weiss.


Single Sign-On:  Introduction to OpenLDAP


DATE:  THIS THURSDAY, October 11


TIME:  6:30pm Refreshments and networking, presentation begins 7:00pm


PLACE:  Nova Southeastern University, our regular room (see flux.org for
directions)


ABOUT THE PRESENTATION


Single Sign On is a buzzword.  The technical term for it is

centralized authentication.  Each person on your network uses one

username and password to access many applications, such as e-mail,

secure web applications and instant messaging.  LDAP is the

technology that makes this possible, and OpenLDAP is its Linux

implementation.


This talk demonstrates the server and client configuration of

OpenLDAP to allow centralized authentication, adding/removing users

and deploying an OpenLDAP server.  As more physical and virtual

machines are deployed across the enterprise, central authentication

becomes a necessity, and it might just save your sanity.


ABOUT THE PRESENTERS


Kwan Lowe is a Unix/Linux system administrator.

Mick Weiss is a software developer and network administrator.



MARK YOUR CALENDAR!  SEE YOU THIS THURSDAY AT NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY!
