Open Source Identity Management in the Enterprise
LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.
Brian J. Atkisson, Red Hat
This talk will discuss how Red Hat IT utilizes and integrates open source solutions to offer a seamless experience for internal users. Specifically, we will cover how Red Hat incorporates SAML, Kerberos, LDAP, Two-Factor Authentication, PKI certificates, and how end-user systems are able to function in this multi-platform, fluid BYOD environment. Recent experiences will be shared on how Red Hat is scaling this identity management platform to utilize true single sign-on in cloud environments. Finally, best practices and future plans will be discussed as part of a Q&A session.
