I do not get the question.
If you considering Likewise it will extend the AD access controls to the
client.
It is up to you to compare all the technical and non technical benefits
of either approach.

Unfortunately we can't help you with any white papers containing
comparisons of the alternatives or pricing for IPA at the moment.
But we will be very interested to hear your opinion why it is worth or
not worth to use IPA + SSSD vs AD + Likewise.

Hi,

I didnt really mean point sssd at something else besides IPA, but where any 
other "package" can do what sssd and HBAC can achieve

In a way I'm looking to justify why we buy IPA as opposed to connecting 
directly to AD or using something like Likewise.

Right now, the SSSD is making certain assumptions that the server
providing the HBAC rules is an IPA server. However, I know that JR
Aquino wrote a pam_python module a while ago that works (without offline
capabilities) with the current HBAC approach.

Things will get a little more complex when the HBAC rules are extended
to support time ranges, though. But there's no firm timeline on that
yet.

Right now, the SSSD is making certain assumptions that the server
providing the HBAC rules is an IPA server. However, I know that JR
Aquino wrote a pam_python module a while ago that works (without offline
capabilities) with the current HBAC approach.

Things will get a little more complex when the HBAC rules are extended
to support time ranges, though. But there's no firm timeline on that
yet.

[Freeipa-users] sssd v "other" methods

2011-06-23 Thread Steven Jones
Hi,

looking at sssd enforcing the HBAC, is it possible to [easily] or even possible 
to achieve the same thing with say openlap or 389?
