Services

• LDAP (on .74.220)
• Plone (on .74.220)
• HTTPD (on .74.220)

Known Issues

• .216/.217/.218/.219: need Admin group in sudoers file.
• .74.220 is not using ldap authentication for shell access.
• Access to LDAP server needs to be restricted to specific machines somehow?
• We have to create userids on the LDAP server manually, can't be done through plone without a lot of work.
• Plone instance is not using LDAP for authentication.

Service Groups

Currently, shell access is limited to users in the LDAP schema under the "Shell" group. No further group authorization/granularity exists at this time. It is desireable to have "Shell" be broken into groups like "Database", "Subversion Admin", etc to distribute the administration of those tasks.
