I'm interested in setting up a small setup that would be a centralized authentication. With my work experience I would lean to AD and LDAP, but I don't run any Windows boxes and don't understand raw LDAP.

Any suggestions? I have to think there's a good solution for small organizations. I could just Chef it based on databags, but that doesn't let users change their own passwords, which I see as a major downside.

I have 3 nodes, two Linux Linodes, and 1 reseller cPanel account on Surpass (can't install custom software there).

Hi,

For small setups with centralized authentication you could use Samba. Just set it up as Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and store user credentials in samba passwd files. Once you're more used to running it you can change the Samba to use OpenLDAP. I did little version migration in small office of around 20 people where they used Samba PDC with OpenLDAP backend. Seemed to work just fine with mostly Windows environment. Also, using Samba allows you to easily share printers and files.

br,
Timo
