FreeIPA is an identity management system providing, identity, authentication and authorisation in Linux environments, with a focus on ease of deployment and management. It is built on top of well-known Open Source technologies including 389 Directory Server, MIT Kerberos and Dogtag PKI.
This turbo talk will cover advances in FreeIPA over the past two years that will help organisations secure their infrastructure, including:
- Lightweight sub-CAs and custom certificate profiles

The talk will conclude with a peek into the future at what's in the pipeline.
