| Abstract | Authentication, authorization, and administration are critical components in secure internet computing. This paper presents a unified architecture for provisioning these services in cloud and enterprise environments. The architecture aims at providing robustness, performance, scalability, high availability, and low total cost of ownership (TCO) for deployments, while preserving the compatibility with existing IT infrastructure. The design scales vertically and horizontally by distributing workload among multiple servers. The flexible cache configuration minimizes network access traffic, delivering the high performance demanded by peak business workloads. The architecture offers high availability via replication services. The design is the result of the cumulative efforts of the open source community in the past many years, involving technologies such as Name Service Switch (NSS), Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), LDAP Content Synchronization, Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS), OpenLDAP, Proxy Cache, nss-pam-ldapd, and so on. |
