LDAP and Kerberos out-of-the-Box for Ubuntu Linux Code written by Patrick Clancy README Written by Patrick Clancy Project proposed by Patrick Clancy Contact Info: ...

Running the Code IV. Editing the Code V. Future Work I. Overview This project is the result of two other projects that were canceled during the summer of 2007. Initially, we had planned to write a program to install the Fedora Directory Server, but after weeks of work with little success, we realized that FDS may not be a viable option for Ubuntu. After the FDS problems, we needed to change the direction of the project. The minimum goal was automating the installation of a simple LDAP server. So the first steps were figuring out how to install LDAP on Ubuntu. After that we needed to find out what pieces of information were needed for the LDAP installation. Around this point we found out that work had resumed on the another Ubuntu project that did all of this work already. The program was called authtool, and it supported a number of different authentication protocols. Among them was an LDAP and Kerberos server. After seeing the code for the backend, it was clear that it would take us more than a month to improve upon the installation, but the frontend was not nearly as well established. So, the final project was working on the authtool frontend for LDAP and Kerberos, because the only information given was the title of each text entry box. I added a regular expression syntax checks and information buttons that explained the purpose of each piece of information. These features should make deploying a LDAP+Kerberos server significantly easier. II. Tool Information and Dependencies I wrote the programs using the Emacs editor, designed the GUI with the Python Glade-2 GUI builder, and used Python code to tie everything together. If you want to edit the code, install the following Ubuntu Packages: python glade-2 emacs III. Running the Code Once you have the necessary dependencies installed, you can enter the appropriate directory and run the code with the following command: python LDAP_and_Kerberos.py From here use the program as instructed, check the syntax of your entries by clicking the button labeled "More Info" next to the text entry box. IV. Editing the Code To edit the code use your favorite text editor to LDAP_and_Kerberos.py, and use glade-2 to edit LDAP_and_Kerberos.glade. Be sure to build the GUI using glade-2's built-in "Build" function. V. Future Work There are a number of reasons why I would like to continue this work after the Google Summer of Code. First of all, my project changed three times, so I didn't get as much time to work on it as I would of liked. Second, I see that I can help improve code for Ubuntu in my free time. Third, Ubuntu doesn't have a great tool for easily installing authentication, and authtool would help Ubuntu take the next step into the server market if it worked well. So, I would like to continue writing authtool front ends. The next step would be writing another tool for a NIS server. It would build nicely on the work I have already done. [Less]
