Status

Connected machines and services

Workstations

The workstations listed above are set up as follows:

  • Homedirs mounted over NFS from dumpster-a (except user 'printer' on PrinterPC)
  • Users in the LDAP 'sudo' group can sudo.
  • Homedirs are created on the NFS-export when adding a user to LDAP (like this)

VM's

  • NURDServices (only users in group "admins" can log in)
  • Stroopwafel (a VM for all members to irssi or other processes)

Wiki

Authentication on this wiki is done via SAML.

Limitations

  • The mediawiki login system converts the first character of usernames to uppercase due to restrictions on usernames. To get around this we've enabled $wgLDAPLowercaseUsernameScheme. This requires usernames to be all lowercase in the LDAP.
  • Users are maintained through the LDAP, so creating a user on the Wiki is no longer possible. It could be enabled, but that would require adding a user with write-access in the LDAP. That seems a little scary for now. It would however offer the possibility of changing your LDAP password through the Wiki.

Wifi (Spacenet)

The LDAP serves as a userdb for Spacenet, which is connected via FreeRADIUS. For full details see the Spacenet-page. Only users in group "spacenet" can log in.

DHCP

See the network page.

(Un)locking the front door

See Spacelock.
