hi, Can Fedora Directory Server be used for : 1) to provide enterprise-wide identity for employees ?
Yes.
I'm not sure. Are these smart cards with X.509 certificates? If so, then yes - Fedora DS supports client cert based auth.2) can this be integrated into Access Cards - Flash / Swipe
3) can this be integrated into EPABX
Yes.
No. Fedora DS does not provide all of the PDC capabilities of AD expected by Windows clients.4) can we replace Windows Active Directory PDC which is authentifying my windows and *NIX workstations by Samba PDC using Fedora Directory Server.
5) Can my Cisco PIX, Squid Proxy, IPSec / SSL-VPN or any other Application (Apache, Zimbra, Subversion, Jive-WildeFire IM , etc which can talk to Active Directory and OpenLDAP for authentification) be configured to get user autentification from Fedora Directory Server
If it can use openldap, it can use Fedora DS.
MS Active Directory has some additional functionality with respect to Windows clients such as MS Outlook. I've heard that it is possible to get cross domain Kerberos working with sasl/kerberos on the *nix side and AD on the Windows side.6) SSO ? Can I integrate Fedora Directory Server to my windows and *NIX workstation logons? will it result into, the email client MS Outlook 200x , Mozilla ThunderBird 1.x, Kontact 1.2.x, my browsers (IE 5.x & above, Mozilla Firefox 1.x) get authenticated automagically and will serve what they are intented to ie, send / receive emails, browse internet, etc without asking the user to key in his/her email id, email password etc
But in general, if the client uses plain old LDAP or sasl/kerberos or client certs for auth, then Fedora DS should work just fine.
