# FreeIPA Server



FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity,

authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems

by providing simple to install and use command line and web based

management tools.



FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard

protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation

of installation and configuration tasks.



FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via

cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.



## Benefits



FreeIPA:



* Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials

  and security settings

* Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in

  an authenticated and secure way

* Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services

  and files only to specific users

* Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords,

  SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules

* Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users

* Integrates into Active Directory environments



## Components



The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management

tools for the following components:



* LDAP Server - based on the [389 project](http://www.port389.org/)

* KDC - based on [MIT Kerberos](http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Main_Page)

  implementation

* PKI based on [Dogtag project](http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page)

* [Samba](http://www.samba.org/) libraries for Active Directory integration

* DNS Server based on [BIND](https://www.isc.org/software/bind) and the

  [Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin](https://pagure.io/bind-dyndb-ldap)
