aka fedora-ds has been very flexible and is able to provide SSO for many applications, from apps that support pam, to tacacs, apache, cvs etc. admittedly i havent gone so far as to auth a windows pc against it, but that doesnt mean it's necessarily a good idea to use AD and have linux auth against that.
multi-master replication in 389 works great, and we even have a 3rd master who is on the other side of a wan-link.
In hopes of replacing our current in-house developed solution.
I'll be honest, they are for the most part simply 'ok'. I wasn't super-impressed with any of them, and the bottom half of the list were definitely not ready for ISP/ASP/MSP-level use. I've listed them in descending order of my preference. All the useable ones are super-expensive, on the order of 'ok you can afford to pay a decent php/mysql coder to code you something from the ground up', or you can take this out-of-the-box thing, and shoe-horn it into your existing network. Which will in most cases take some weeks of programming anyway...
I had some of what I thought were pretty simple requirements...
- unix/linux based
- no single point of failure (clustering)
- handle forward and reverse dns
- api's (mostly to allow us to present a customer access to their zones)
- web-based gui with tiered user-levels
- pref software-based install rather than appliance, due to the shoe-horn prediction i mentioned above
Those are the highlights off the top of my head. I was surprised how few actually had all those features.
After months of doing webcasts, reading white-papers etc we've come to the conclusion that it's going to be developed in-house from the ground up, using bsd/apache/postgres/php/bind and some soap.
After reviewing these, I'm actually dying to know what large enterprises are using. I'm hoping there's some magic bullet IPAM solution that I missed on google. Please someone tell me about it!
My situation is exact same as madstorks, verbatim. I went the Vonage route recently. Hey, you cant beat $25/mo for keeping the peace between me and my girlfriend regarding dropped calls...There's about a billion advantages that Vonage provides, I highly recommend them. I would say there's almost no near-term hope for getting signal down there, short of some cracked-out antenna assembly. Just bite the bullet for $25/mo. Sell blood or something...
