Univention Corporate Server (UCS) is a Debian-derived distribution focused on enterprise environments and heavily based on LDAP. In contrast to most other Debian-derived distributions it is based on Debian stable instead of snapshots from Debian unstable. With it's earliest development roots dating back ten years, UCS is now used in approx. 700 installations with the biggest having 80,000 users.
This technical talk will cover the following topics: - Basing on Debian stable: Benefits and challenges - Introduction to a few features specific to UCS: * Template-based configuration management with Univention Configuration Registry * "Listener/notifier" domain replication * Synchronisation of OpenLDAP and Active Directory using the Univention AD Connector * Web-based administration with the Univention Management Console - UCS is the first distribution to include Samba 4 in a supported product The talk will provide an overview of the supported features, e.g. assigning group policy objects to Windows clients.
