myLinux
The myLinux server is an Gnu/Linux operating system, whose Authentification mechanism and partly also its configuration is based on the listing service LDAP.
The connection of personal information such as telephone numbers, address etc. with Authentification mechanism, right of access administration and digital signatures over the central, enterprise far valid data base of a listing service is felt of more and more enterprises as favourable or necessarily.
Among other things the following commercial systems offer such features:
Within the range of free open SOURCE projects uses this technology for example the groupware server Kolab (http://kolab.kroupware.org/).
The requirement to change consistently all services over of a Linux server to LDAP Authentification is at present still few common. For September there is an appropriate product of SuSE, SuSE Linux Standard Server 8. As is the case for all SuSE projects a documentation of the development of this server is not available.
The long-term requirement of the project myLinux is to create a free and completely documented implementation of such a system.
