Security.
Red Hat Security.
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux)
With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, SELinux offers the highest level of security clearance of any mainstream operating system. Extensive enhancements to the kernel, network, and I/O subsystems ensure optimized performance, scalability, and availability on the latest hardware systems.
Red Hat Identity Management
Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAP based server that centralizes application settings, user profiles, group data, policies and access control information into an operating systemindependent, network based registry. Red Hat Certificate System provides a powerful security framework to guarantee the identity of users and ensure privacy of communications.
Red Hat Directory Server (RHDS)
RHDS provides a mature, highly scalable and reliable hierarchical data store designed to answer two questions about a user attempting to gain access to any system:
- Authentication: Who are you?
- Authorization: What can you do?
RHDS enables appropriate and timely authentication and access to resources and applications for all users in an organization, using a standard-based, highly scalable, high-performance server architecture.
Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS)
RHCS provides a highly scalable, easily managed end-to-end digital credential solution that‘s tuned to answer the third key identity management question for many highly secure business and government organizations.
- Assurance: Are you who you say you are?
By dramatically simplifying the end-user experience of enrolment, the smart-card management system that‘s built into Red Hat Certificate System can bring costs of middle- and high-assurance smartcard solutions within reach for organizations that previously couldn‘t afford them.
Red Hat Enterprise Identity, Policy and Audit (IPA)
Red Hat Enterprise IPA is an open source identity, policy, audit, and access management solution for users, machines, and services in Linux and UNIX environments.
It improves efficiency, reduces risk, and simplifies compliance initiatives for IT. It’s built with interoperability in mind, which means easy integration with existing tools and no more vendor lock-in.
Advantages of Enterprise IPA include:
- Single sign-on using Kerberos and LDAP
- Multi-master directory replication
- Synchronization with existing directories for ease of administration
- Services mutually authenticate and encrypt, leveraging Kerberos
- Support for open standards, an access control framework
Based upon open technologies and standards, including LDAP and Kerberos, Red Hat Enterprise IPA provides centrally managed identity, single sign-on services, high-availability directory services, and an access control framework in a package that’s easy to install and manage.
With Red Hat Enterprise IPA, you can centrally manage your Linux and UNIX machines using native technology. No need for time-consuming do-it-yourself solutions or expensive proprietary ones. Increase the efficiency of your users and administrators by simplifying the management of their user IDs and passwords. Reduce risk by centrally auditing user activity. And prepare for Red Hat’s next generation of management and security solutions.
