Mandriva Directory Server
The Mandriva Directory Server (MDS) is a Free Software project that features:
- user authentication and management thanks to LDAP
- an extensible, nice looking and AJAX powered PHP web interface called MMC (Mandriva Management Console), provided with 6 modules:
- Users and groups management
- SAMBA accounts and shares management
- Printing management
- Email delivery management
- Integrated DNS/DHCP management
- Web proxy blacklist management
- a Python dedicated management API for LDAP, SAMBA and SQUID (core of the MDS and the MMC)
- a policy system, that will allow to define users right on network ressources
Thanks to the MMC, the MDS can fully replace a Windows NT4 server.
MDS is available for download
