= VTLUUG has been was Kerberos and LDAP for authentication until the [[CVL eviction]]. We have now migrated to an LDAP only domain due to a lack of IPv6 on behind router.ece.vt.edu. The old Kerberos server was configured to work on IPv6 only therefore we were required to migrate away from its use for authentication.=

With VTLUUG uses [[Infrastructure:Chimera|chimera]] as it's FreeIPA server, and all VTLUUG hosts except [[Infrastructure:Joey|joey]], the current deployment acidburn should be acceptable through normal password authentication over ssh. There is no need to configure tickets or anything else Kerberos relatedrouter, are in its domain.

==Account maintenance instructions==All users will be able to use standard shell commands (such as chsh) to change attributes of their own account. Additionally they can make direct requests to the LDAP server (razor.vtluug.org) using ldapmodify and .ldif files to change attributes as well. Explaining .ldif files and ldapmodify is beyond the scope of this article.

All users can log into [https://chimera.vtluug.org Chimera's FreeIPA web GUI] to edit their account. Yes, it does have a self signed cert. Get over it /s For management of the entire domain , officers who know the LDAP root users credentials will be are able to log add, remove, or modify users in any way. == History == VTLUUG has been was Kerberos and LDAP for authentication until the [[CVL eviction]]. We then migrated to the an LDAP Administrator web application running only domain due to a lack of IPv6 on razorbehind router.vtluugece.vt.orgedu. Information The old Kerberos server was configured to work on this IPv6 only, therefore, we were required to migrate away from its use for authentication. With the old deployment, [[Infrastructure:Acidburn|acidburn]] should be acceptable through normal password authentication over ssh.

Shibboleth can be thought of as an identity provider similar to [[w:OpenID|OpenID]], but more centralized, and thus well-liked by institutions such as universities. == Scripted Login ==The following is a work in progress.
