Hi all
I am new to Fedora Directory Server, I have manage to set it up all
right but I have one simple question as such.. J
Before I will put a lot of effort into setting it up for my production
env I would like to know atleast one thing…. When I manage to connect
client
It depends - what is the client? If the client is an OS, Fedora DS uses
the standard posix objectclasses and attributes.
to the directory server will I be able to control the users access to
client thought the directory on file level?
That is if for some reason I would not allow the user to access or
read certain files or folders on the client could that be controlled
in the Directory ?
You can't control this through the directory server unless the client
can already model the file/folder relationships through the directory
server. Usually clients don't do this unless you are using some sort of
policy engine like SiteMinder, and even that won't work for OS
file/folder permissions. That is normally used for web site URL access.
Usually ldap+os integration means that you still set file/folder
ownership and permissions using the familiar chown and chmod commands,
but the actual uid/gid information is looked up in ldap rather than from
/etc/passwd and /etc/groups.
