[ale] How do you deal with SSO at home?

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

I wasn't aware of the lack of a Linux server for NIS+.   As noted I've not used NIS+ and it has been years since I used NIS.   Apparently even the client support development was stopped in 2012:

NIS+ clients are free.  NIS+ server is Solaris only. That's a deal
breaker for me.  Need a Linux-based solution, prefer Ubuntu Server or Debian.  RHEL/CentOS is a big as for 1 part of an existing infrastructure.

I need a mix of POSIX and web authentication.  Shared storage is server-to-server, not user-to-server, so I don't need that.

I've used LDAP previously, using Zimbra (with openldap) as the source DB for everything.  Zimbra updates over the years broke that integration and I'm unwilling to deal with those hassles anymore.

Rant reply - people with just a few email addresses don't have much hope for security. Certainly you should never use the same email for your bank and **any** other accounts.  Same for Amazon. Same for your broker.
Same for your 401(k) provider.  So that means most professional people here need at least 6 email addresses if you add in a social account and work.

I liked how NIS worked, but I just can't take those security risks today.  It is a different world.
