Fedora directory users - Dec 2005 - Public key based authentication with Redhat Directory Server

Hello,

Is it possible with Redhat Directory Server to use public key
authentication for all our Linux based servers?. Currently we have it
setup individually for each system. However we would like to go to a
centrally managed solution to keep it easy and allow us to scale much more
effectivly.

Any advice would be great.

Regards,

Jimmy

I am looking to setup a central authentication scheme. So that all of the
technical staff can use key based authentication from a central location.

I dont think thats what im trying to do.
We want to use public key based authentication with SSH, However that then
needs to authenticate against the OS. I was wondering if there was any
built in method to do that. It appears as though I will have to patch all
of the OpenSSH daemons to make that work. However that still leaves the
server to support the keys in the structure.
