Dear all,

This thread is supposed to capture the discussion of the objectives draft
for exam 201-500. The current draft for the new version is available in the
LPI wiki:

  https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-2_Objectives_V5.0#Objectives:_Exam_202

Please note that this document will be edited as the discussion goes.
Please use the history and diff features of the wiki to keep track of
changes.

The major change proposals can be summarized like this:

- Topic 208, HTTP Services, was restructured to have generic objectives on
HTTP and TLS, as well as individual topics on Apache HTTPD and NGINX. By
summarizing aspects of HTTP and encryption, we can now cover both servers
in greater detail without any repetition of common aspects.

- Objective 208.3 (old), Squid, is gone

- Objective 210.4 is no longer on configuration OpenLDAP, but is instead an
overview of authentication mechanisms which includes more recent
technologies.

- Objective 221.1, Postfix, now includes SASL authentication

- Objective 212.1, Configuring a router, now includes some basic aspects of
firewalld

- Objective 212.2 (old), FTP servers is gone

- Objective 212.3, SSH, was changed to avoid overlaps with LPIC-1 and now
includes SSH-CA

- Objective 212.4, Security tasks, now includes systemd based security
mechanisms

- Objective 212.5 now covers VPN in a more generic fashion and Wireguard
instead of OpenVPN

There are, of course, numerous smaller changes, fixes and improvements.

Looking forward to your feedback,

Fabian
