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