Hi William, One of the things you need to address is the performance / speed of authentication. Can your (AD -) server forest handle the amount of new kind of authentication requests beside the WINS / DNS etc. I have 2-servers ( in replica) of Fedora DS (FDS) with over 800k users. This is only for authentication of our website. There is also an read-only replica of the AD on it for internal use. Till now there is no performance issue. We decided to move to FDS due to the amount of external users. We did this only for performance. AD could do it as well. Ben. ________________________________ Van: fedora-directory-users-bounces at redhat.com namens cobra at cobradevil.org Verzonden: ma 18-8-2008 16:09 Aan: fedora-directory-users at redhat.com Onderwerp: Business Case: Advantage OpensourceDirectory VS Active Directory Hello all, I have a question why i should use an opensource directory server for my opensource activities! I work for a large company! 70k users We have a large MS Windows based infrastructure win2k3 with winxp workstations. For our open source servers and workstations we thought to get an Opensource Directory server because of the specific options that Active Directory cannot deliver. But now i get a lot of people who say that active directory can do all of it! Can someone help me with getting the right arguments so i have a valid reason to create an opensource directory server? The things i wanna administer are: Sudoldap Freeipa based authentication/dns application management and probably a lot more! Please let me know!
