Configuring Identity Management
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8
Managing Identity and Authorization Policies for Linux-Based Infrastructures
Edition 2.1.4
Abstract
Identity and policy management — for both users and machines — is a core function for almost any enterprise environment. Identity Management (IPA) provides a way to create an identity domain that allows machines to enroll to a domain and immediately access identity information required for single sign-on and authentication services, as well as policy settings that govern authorization and access.
This guide covers Linux client configuration and other service configuration for Linux clients within the IPA domain. For information on creating IPA servers and managing the IPA domain, see the Red Hat 6 Deployment Guide.
