  21       <div class="title">Debian Edu roaming workstation - at the university of Oslo</div>
  22       <div class="date"> 3rd August 2010</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>The new roaming workstation profile in Debian Edu/Squeeze is fairly
  24 similar to the laptop setup am I working on using Ubuntu for the
  25 University of Oslo, and just for the heck of it, I tested today how
  26 hard it would be to integrate that profile into the university
  27 infrastructure.  In this case, it is the university LDAP server,
  28 Active Directory Kerberos server and SMB mounting from the Netapp file
  29 servers.</p>
  30
  31 <p>I was pleasantly surprised that the only three files needed to be
  32 changed (/etc/sssd/sssd.conf, /etc/ldap.conf and
  33 /etc/mklocaluser.d/20-debian-edu-config) and one file had to be added
  34 (/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Edu_Local.pm), to get the client working.
  35 Most of the changes were to get the client to use the university LDAP
  36 for NSS and Kerberos server for PAM, but one was to change a hard
  37 coded DNS domain name in the mklocaluser hook from .intern to
  38 .uio.no.</p>
  39
  40 <p>This testing was so encouraging, that I went ahead and adjusted the
  41 Debian Edu scripts and setup in subversion to centralise the roaming
  42 workstation setup a bit more and avoid the hardcoded DNS domain name,
  43 so that when I test this tomorrow, I expect to get away with modifying
  44 only /etc/sssd/sssd.conf and /etc/ldap.conf to get it to use the
  45 university servers.</p>
  46
  47 <p>My goal is to get the clients to have no hardcoded settings and
  48 fetch all their initial setup during installation and first boot, to
  49 allow them to be inserted also into environments where the default
  50 setup in Debian Edu has been changed or as with the university, where
  51 the environment is different but provides the protocols Debian Edu
  52 uses.</p>
