I think this will be a huge undertaking. It is not that simple. And is there really a value for IPA to be on Solaris? I can understand the client part but the server is less important. It is a dedicated server running on BM or VM so does it really matter what os it is running as long it is supported and affordable? We as a dev community will be open to any effort to port the whole stack to some other distribution but I bet there are better uses for someones energy that we can utilize to deliver better functionality to this user community. Client is a different issue. I tried to talk to IBM, HP and Sun a year ago. They are not interested in porting SSSD to their platforms. > Oracle/Sun may not want to do IPA but if you had ever had the mis-fortune to > try and use Oracle's IdM / OVD /OID you'd understand why few > techies/ppl/businesses want it.....its bloody awful to install let alone work > with or maintain....So its turns into a risky endeavour and no one sane wants > that much risk in their business....let alone the 6 figure costs..........and > yes Im talking over a million.... > > Hopefully we are getting away from the silo attitude of vendors.....Vendors > might want only their products in a customer site, but realistically > customers dont want that for lots of reasons, and pillaging your wallet is > one of the biggest.... > > In our case all that happens is we wont buy Sun kit if it doesnt work the way > we want to work....their loss. > > regards > ________________________________________ > From: freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com [freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com] on > behalf of Dmitri Pal [d...@redhat.com] > Sent: Wednesday, 11 May 2011 8:24 a.m. > To: freeipa-users@redhat.com > Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] FreeIPA for Linux desktop deployment > > On 05/10/2011 04:10 PM, Steven Jones wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Its quite interesting that there are no real clients for ipa outside of >> RH/Fedora....this will probably do more to delay or restrict its adoption >> than anything else. >> > Not sure what you are talking about.
