Hello there, quick newbie #sysadmin question.

I want to add a new group to the in-home computing cluster, which uses #LDAP (I did not configure it): is it sufficient to create the group on the ldap server using 'groupadd' or will I have to run additional commands for synchronizing, like 'ldapadd', 'ldapmodify'?

I'm looking at setting up a bunch of self hosted services to replace our (self, family, friends) dependence on corporate cloud stuff. Email (custom, since none of the Just Add Server offerings do everything I need for free), shared drive (likely nextcloud, ugh), docs (likely collabora), jitsi for video, discourse for group forums, and so on.

I'd like to make all of this SSO, to the extent that it reasonably can be.

I'm probably going to use FreeIPA as the identity source of truth, but I'm finding that there are enough new things I need to learn about centralized authentication that I'm having a hard time finding a starting point that doesn't require a bunch of other context. So I'm asking for help.

Does anyone know of a good guide to these sorts of concepts, preferably available online? I'm familiar with most of the other Linux sysadmin concepts and have plenty of hardware and bandwidth at my disposal.

If you don't have an answer but have followers who might, boosts would be appreciated.

Know anyone who wants to work in Madrid? Just saw this job ad because it calls for #LDAP and #LMDB experience. jobs.weekday.works/lumen-techn

@DigA_UniLeipzig @stbc @caos @uni_wuppertal also ich hab' seinerzeit (2013-2017) nur #UbuntuLTS auf Desktops und Servern dort gesehen, mit wenigen Ausnahmen wie #OpebSUSUE in einigen Laboren.

Würde mich wundern wenn die das umgestellt hätten!

  • Gab jedenfalls auch ne zentrale Nutzerverwaltung samt /home/-Verzeichnis per NFS.

Ob #Labdscape oder nen händisch installiertes #LDAP / #Samba-#AD weiß ich leider nicht!

  • Einfach mal die IT dort fragen?

NRW.socialstbc (@stbc@nrw.social)@caos@plasmatrap.com @kkarhan@infosec.space @DigA_UniLeipzig@wisskomm.social @uni_wuppertal@wisskomm.social Stimmt nicht. Es gibt ne Menge Ubuntu/Debian auf Servern. Und bestimmt auch Menschen mit Linux auf dem Desktop. Aber bestimmt nicht die Mehrheit und auch nicht als gesteuerte Maßnahme.
