Re: 389-DS on CentOS 6.10

Hi Sandy,
It sounds like you might want to implement FreeIPA of which 389-ds is just one component. Documentation is available here: https://www.freeipa.org/page/Documentation

    I'm attempting to do something I've never done before.
    When I was employed the company I worked for used Windows Active
      Directory and they had a staff of 8 to maintain all of that for
      the entire corporation.  As a Linux System Admin I had access to a
      place in the Directory structure for Linux/Solaris/AIX servers and
      we kept our 'stuff' correct using a third party software.
    Now that I am retired I do not have those resources. And I only
      have 3 Windows machines that are old and only used for the
      internet / email access.
    My Linux environment is growing (both planned and unplanned).
      When I retired I was allowed to purchase several older tower
      servers for practically free, all I had to do was just clean off
      the hard drives with Data Center staff watching + $50. So I went
      from 2 physical machines to 8 machines with all having multiple
      hard drives and none less that 24 GB RAM.
    I've finally gotten them running and configured with CentOS 6.10
      x86_64 and using software RAID-1 or software RAID-1 and RAID-10. 

    What I want to do with 389-DS is to guarantee the following:

      Every machine with the same users has the same passwords
      Maintenance jobs are run the same everywhere.
      All Virtual Machines (regardless if they are using KVM or
        VirtualBox) 'look' the same (there are 36 virtual machines - so
        far).
      Any other thing that comes up.
      'Talk' to a virtual machine that is not Linux but has a LDAP
        client.

    What I can't seem to locate is a tutorial or some other document
      that explains to a layman how to migrate users, passwords, and
      configuration information into my recently installed 389-DS.
    Can someone give me some information?
    TIA
    Sandy
