I agree that having the FreeIPA project part of Ubuntu would be a great step forward. There are multiple components from the FreeIPA project and 389 Directory is only one of them. As there is already a similar component available from the Ubuntu archive I'm not convinced that packaging 389 Directory is the quickest way to get the functionality of FreeIPA in Ubuntu. IMO the most useful components of FreeIPA are the new client daemon (SSSD) and the admin tools: xmlrpc server and the web interface based on turbogears. These don't have similar components in the archive and provide the glue for the Directory, Kerberos and Dns server. Has anyone tried to load the default FreeIPA DIT in openldap, setup the MIT krb5 package to connect to openldap and experiment with the admin tools? -- Mathias Gug Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~freeipa Post to : freeipa@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~freeipa More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
