Ok - so holding the article on the inclusion of SSL/TLS - I'll update this group once I've got that information. I also want to include access controls in the final document since it is an authentication server. Regarding sssd - I wouldn't hold the document for this. I've just been doing some reading on the subject. Even if it is "deployed", that doesn't mean it is configured or started. It looks like authconfig handles the vast majority of the work involved in authentication configuration in CentOS. I'm assuming anyone who wants to use sssd will know how to alter the authconfig to allow that. If not, it can be reviewed in a different HOWTO. -Adrian -- Adrian Hall (Personal Account) photoadrian at gmail.com On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 2:57 PM, Paul Heinlein <heinlein at madboa.com> wrote: > On Tue, 13 Sep 2011, Adrian Hall wrote: > > > I'm totally with you on the SSL/TLS.
