I’ve set up an LDAP server at several companies and was always frustrated by how arcane they are to build and operate. So I built a SaaS one (well, a beta anyway) that’s easy to use with a simple web interface for group management, integrates with Google Apps (which is the core identity used by most young companies now), and is scalable and fully redundant. It also serves SSH keys directly to sshd, so users can take care of their own key management (and soon, admins can enforce password and key rotation schedules).
And yes, if a user is deprovisioned in GApps then their LDAP credentials are suspended until they are re-activated. The goal of Foxpass is to make GApps the source of truth.
This is a great idea and something I've searched for in the past when looking for a way to authenticate our own internal apps using Google Apps credentials.
I know Aren from school, ad i am familiar with the multitude of problems he has solved at various companies. This should be a plug-and-play solution for others!
HN, I’d love your feedback!
