Course Description

RH423 is an intensive course that provides four days of instruction and labs on cross-platform integration of directory services to provide authentication or information service across the enterprise.

Prerequisites

RH253 at a minimum, RHCE certification preferred, or comparable skills and knowledge. All prospective course participants without RHCE certification are encouraged to verify skills with CentOS's free online pre-assessment tests. Note: Persons should not enroll in RH423 without meeting the above prerequisites. All prospective course participants who do not possess RHCE certification are strongly advised to contact CentOS Global Learning Services for a skills assessment when they enroll.

Goal

RH423 trains senior system administrators to manage and deploy directory services on and for Community Enterprise Linux systems. Gaining an understanding of the basic concepts, configuration, and management of LDAP-based services is central to this course. Students will integrate standard network clients and services with the directory service in order to take advantage of its capabilities. We will also look at PAM, the Pluggable Authentication Modules system, and how it is integrated with services that require authentication and authorization.

Audience

Senior Community Enterprise Linux system administrators and other IT professionals working in enterprise environments and mission-critical systems.
