So, I’m still working for IDMWorks, and I recently put out a three-part series on SSSD, how it works, and some things to consider if you decide to implement it.

Part 1 goes into what centralized authentication is

Part 2 talks about why SSSD is overtaking older solutions in the Linux Space:

Part 3 talks about the two real ways to deal with sudoer privileges in Linux when using SSSD:

I started working for a firm called IDMWorks, and I am grateful to be a part of the team.  I’m fulfilling a lead technical role with regards to Forgerock and RadiantLogic, and I’m sure I’ll have my hands full over the coming months.

That said, I recently wrote an article for IDMWorks called “Netplan for Newbies” regarding the new network configuration tools being put into Ubuntu’s LTS setup.
