If framework carries with it a stigma, it was not my intention to hint at an unfinished project. My intention was to capture the fact that the FreeIPA system is modular and plugin based, such that additional components can be added to the framework. If there is a better word to describe this trait, I am all for it! Authorization felt like a good strong word that would reflect the v2 features of HBAC/SUDO/DOGTAG. Something that very clearly separates FreeIPA from 'other' authentication solutions such as Standard LDAP, Kerberos, Novell eDirectory, or Symas Unified User Management. > I'll take my crack at it: > "FreeIPA is an integrated identity and computer management solution, > built on open standards, centered on servicing Linux and Unix based > infrastructures" > > Simo. > > -- > Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York > > _______________________________________________ > Freeipa-devel mailing list > Freeipa-devel@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel _______________________________________________ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel
