Starting from today I am a proud contributor to Emily Ratliff’s Open Source Security blog. The blog brings information, news, discussions and opinions mainly about Linux and Open Source security in general, and, besides Emily and myself, has other members from the IBM’s Linux Technology Center Security Team as contributors.

My first post brings a little introduction to concepts such as authentication and authorization, and how Kerberos and LDAP can be used to perform those important roles, to later introduce the “Using MIT-Kerberos fo IBM Tivoli Directory Server backend” Blueprint which I authored by the end of last year.

Please go check it out. Comments are always welcome.

Update: blueprint link fixed
