Publication Abstract: The Jefferson Lab (Jlab) accelerator controls network has transitioned to a new authentication and network service interface. The new system uses the Redhat Identity Manager (IdM) as a single integrating front end to the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and a replacement for NIS and the Kerberos authentication service. This system allows for integration of access and authentication across Unix and Windows environments and across different Jlab computing environments, including across firewalls. The decision making process, conversion steps, issues and solutions will be discussed.
