Hi all

I am new to Fedora Directory Server, I have manage to set it up all right but I have one simple question as such.. J

Before I will put a lot of effort into setting it up for my production env I would like to know atleast one thing…. When I manage to connect client

It depends - what is the client? If the client is an OS, Fedora DS uses the standard posix objectclasses and attributes.

to the directory server will I be able to control the users access to client thought the directory on file level?

That is if for some reason I would not allow the user to access or read certain files or folders on the client could that be controlled in the Directory ?

You can't control this through the directory server unless the client can already model the file/folder relationships through the directory server. Usually clients don't do this unless you are using some sort of policy engine like SiteMinder, and even that won't work for OS file/folder permissions. That is normally used for web site URL access.

Usually ldap+os integration means that you still set file/folder ownership and permissions using the familiar chown and chmod commands, but the actual uid/gid information is looked up in ldap rather than from /etc/passwd and /etc/groups.

Regards

Siggi
