Summary
Roaming-workstation
Debian Edu roaming workstation packages

A metapackage containing dependencies for packages required on all networked workstation installations in the Debian Edu Blend where the client might go offine once in a while.

Description

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Edu to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Edu mailing list

Graphical user interface to control the connman daemon. The connman daemon must be started as you normally would, this program just interfaces with that daemon. You can see what technologies and services connman has found, and for wifi services an agent is registered to assist in obtaining the information from you necessary to logon to the wifi service.

JXplorer is an open source LDAP browser originally developed by Computer Associates' eTrust Directory development lab. It is a standards compliant general purpose LDAP browser that can be used to read and search any LDAP directory, or any X500 directory with an LDAP interface. JXplorer is a fully functional piece of software with advanced security integration and support for the more difficult and obscure parts of the LDAP protocol. It should run on any Java supporting operating system. Main features are:

  • Standard LDAP operations: add/delete/copy/modify
  • Complex operations: tree copy and tree delete
  • Optional GUI based search filter construction
  • SSL and SASL authentication
  • pluggable editors/viewers
  • pluggable security providers
  • HTML templates/forms for data display
  • Full i18n support
  • LDIF file format support
  • highly user configurable
  • drag-n-drop browsing operation
  • DSML Support
  • handles complex LDAP cases:
  • multi valued rdns
  • binary attributes
  • Certificates and Passwords
  • Unicode characters
  • Special characters / UTF8 in distinguished names.
  • Extensible architecture with object class based Java plugins

krb5-auth-dialog is a simple tray applet that monitors kerberos tickets. It pops up reminders when the ticket is about to expire. Tickets can be refreshed at any time by clicking on the tray icon. It can also operate in "classic mode" as a simple dialog without any trayicon.

It features ticket autorenewal and supports pkinit.

nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS (using Zeroconf, aka Apple Bonjour / Apple Rendezvous ), effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.

Provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and PAM interface toward the system and a pluggable backend system to connect to multiple different account sources. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and policy services for projects like FreeIPA.

This package provide the nss library to connect to the sssd daemon.

When the user logs in for the first time, a local POSIX user account is created in /etc/passwd, a primary group is created in /etc/group, and a local home directory is created in /home.

This is useful on roaming computers when the password is set up to be cached by, for example, libpam-ccreds or sssd to allow login without network connectivity using the password provided by a network authentication service like Kerberos or LDAP.

Other than the caching mechanisms of libpam-ccreds or libpam-sssd / libnss-sssd, the libpam-mklocaluser approach makes the LDAP accounts more persistent on the roaming workstation and robust again credentials cache deletions and such.

The pam_mklocaluser PAM module additionally allows for execution of additional hook scripts when users log in to such a roaming computer for the first time.
