Open Source Authentication Framework

 

Altnix provides an open-source authentication framework such as OpenLDAP and Samba. Using these technology options, customers can reduce the cost of licensing that applies to proprietory technology such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD). Altnix provides consulting, implementation, and maintenance services for OpenLDAP and Samba based authentication solutions.

 

OpenLDAP Implementation

Altnix can implement a complete authentication solution using OpenLDAP. OpenLDAP can then be integrated with other enterprise applications such as Mail servers, ERP applications, Monitoring tools, Help Desk Automation tools, and other security applications.

Samba Implementation

Altnix can implement a Samba based domain controller and authentication solution. Samba supports Windows and Linux systems in the domain. Hence Samba is recommended for heterogeneous environments where there is a mix of Windows and Linux technology.

  • Mailing solutions such as PostFix, Zimbra and Exchange
