Authentication
Why?
We will use different tools which require authentication.
wiki, chat, wlan, ssh logins, nas storage, …
One identity source would be nice.
Access rights could be granted to groups.
Otherwise we need to create user accounts in every system, manage rolls in every system, …
Username/Password is outdated. MFA solutions provide more security.
Protocols
- ldap is supported in most applications
- wireless lan 802.1x uses radius
- MFA OTP solutions are often based on Radius
- certificate based logins would be great (smartcards, virtual smartcards, user certificates)
- a CA could also be used for internal web servers where letsencrypt is not an option
- kerberos is less supported but more secure
- SAML is often use for cloud services
- TACACS is used for switches an other network devices
