Centralised Account Management
Hi all. be gentle, its my first time :-)

I seem to have had this isse dumped on me and could do with help/advice.

We have several Solaris10 servers, authentication is done per server using the usual useradd and the passwd/group/shadow files.

we're now at a point where we need some way of managing/authenticating these account centrally.

Has anyone got any advice on where i can go with this? we wont be hitting any AD kit, so ill need to set up from scratch.

Thanks in advance

I would first look at LDAP.
There's also Sun DIrectory Services Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition

LDAP will be a good option as well

Thanks for the replies guys....i suppose this may be a little easier if i knew anything about LDAP :-)

I suppose i best read up.

Can LDAP give me the central repository that im looking for, i though it was mainly used as a transport????

Excuse my ignorance.

Cheers

LDAP directories are capable of becoming the central repository for all user, group, and access control information
