It is possible to do using LDAP tools and then setting an ACI on the

Simo.


Simo,

This gave me a good starting point, and after reading some more,  
I'm starting to wrap my brain around what I want to do and how to  
do it.

LDAP has a steep learning curve, IMHO.
Can you recommend any GUI tools for creating/modifying the ACI for  
the container?  I started to try and create an ACI using the ones  
within FreeIPA as a reference, but if there's a GUI that would be  
useful too.  I checked out Apache Directory Studio which looks  
nice, but doesn't seem to support the schema that FreeIPA is using.


I use Apache Directory Studio to edit FreeIPA LDAP objects and I can
also see and edit ACIs. The schema shouldn't be a problem, because the
editor can read the schema data from the LDAP server. Which kind of
problems are you seeing ?


Well, Apache Directory Studio has ACI editor (looks like this: http://directory.apache.org/studio/screenshots.data/aci_visual_1.png 
 )
so you don't edit the text directly, but rather use a GUI, which  
builds the policy in text and inserts it when you're done editing.

But it seems to use a different schema than FreeIPA is using...

This plugin is for Apache Directory Server only. AFAIK there is nothing
like a standard for ACIs in directory servers and so every directory
server has his own concept of access control.

Re: [Freeipa-users] [Freeipa-devel] Announcing FreeIPA v2 Server Release Candidate 1 Release

2011-02-16 Thread Steven Jones
Is there a series of RPMS I can download?

ie can someone tell which ones I need for the server and which ones I
need for the client and in what order I install? I can get the rpms off
the store, just not via yum as the repo is dead for meeither its a
remote issue, or our firewall is preventing a connection by some means.
