Please Review DAD/miniDAD
Our VMware appliance DAD/miniDAD, the LDAP-controlled CentOS server with embedded preconfigured Ubuntu miniDAD clients that "know" how to contact DAD is still available for download, and we'd appreciate some feedback.
The combination of the two appliances in one is quite interesting, and they even contain an LDAP-controlled software distribution system we developed specially for DAD & miniDAD.
We've created DAD for the enterprise administrator who wants to easily deploy Open Source to the site's user-base and who wants a migration path. All utilities supplied with DAD are geared towards making the process both painless and efficient. We've even included a utility which, when run on a Windows server, will export a list of users in such a way as that these can easily be imported into DAD. Alternatively, an NT trust can be set up between DAD and the Windows world.
