[Spacewalk-list] Managing configuration files

Hello Stuart,

 

Thank you making me aware of FreeIPA integration in Spacewalk. I just
read the Spacewalk and IPA integration WiKi which describes how to
configure Spacewalk to authenticate with a IPA managed account on the
Spacewalk server. I did this with the Beyond Trust tool and AD. 

But yes, at the end Spacewalk with the help of some scripting might be
able to connect the host automatically to the IPA KDC and user could
logon with the IPA managed account. Personal I do not have any
experience with IPA.

 

regards

 

Michael

But doesn't 2.1 now include FreeIPA integration, which leverage's
Kerberos?

	Hello Muhammed,

	 

	My humble opinion is that it is not secure to use Spacewalk for
user provisioning.

	I would recommend to use Kerberos authentication. Tools like
Beyond Trust Power Broker Identity Service (former likewise) will do the
job with Active directory integration, so you could manage all your *NIX
accounts in a modern directory. There is an open solution available
also.

	Hope that helps.

	 

	regards

	 

	Michael

	Dear Members,

	 

	Hope you are doing well. I am new to this group and to spacewalk
usage as well.

	I have installed spacewalk on my centos system.

	Basically I want to manage my user provision , user addition,
user deletion, file changes, to my other systems via this spacewalk
server.

	Can anybody guide me is it possible to do these configuration
changes from spacewalk server to my client systems or not?

	 

	And if yes please guide me the procedure to do this.

	 

	Thanks

	
	

	Regards,
	
	Muhammad Kamran Ayub
