Free ldap configuration software for linux

Configuration HOWTO would be the main documentation for configuring most common hardware and services.

This document is one of the most important for LDP, because by configuring hardware and software you can get your own Linux box. This HOWTO was born in the Golden Age of developers, mainly for the command line. As it became too big and old for the current distros, I rewrote it more simple as I could.

Fundamentally, to configure the system, Linux users have to write some configuration files. To do it easyer, today programs and wizards are avaliable to manage them. This programs may be quite different for the various distributions.

In this HOWTO, I will speak about Mandrake-Linux and about Red Hat.

Configures your application for use within the Department of Defense.
Main features:
- urns on auto-updates
- Imports DoD Root Certificates
- Setup of CAC Reader driver
- Clarifies SSL error when Common Access Card (smartcard) not present (Firefox)
- Indicate when using trusted domain websites (.mil), similar to SSL (Firefox)
- Redirect to HTTPS when HTTP connection fails (Firefox)
- Sets up DoD LDAP Address Book (Thunderbird)
- Turns off image loading and javascript (Thunderbird)
- Setup of mail signing (Thunderbird)
- Looks at mail headers and warns if mail originates from outside of trusted domain (.mil) (Thunderbird)
Root certificates can be verified upon install by clicking on the View option. The fingerprints and other information can be verified at https://crl.gds.disa.mil.

Kernel Configuration Comparison (kccmp) provides a GUI for comparing two Linux kernel ".config" files.
It shows configuration variables with different values in a tabular format. It also shows configuration variables found in only one of the input configuration files.
Building:
kccmp by default requires Qt 3.x. However, by changing one line in kccmp.pro you can build against Qt 4.x. Note that the Qt 4.x build requilres libboost_regex as well.
The standard build is as easy as:
example:
% qmake
% make
Usage
% kccmp /path/to/first/.config path/to/second/.config
example:
% kccmp /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/linux/.config.old
Enhancements:
- This release was ported to Qt 3.x.
- The requirement for libboost_regex was removed.
- Building with either Qt 4.x or Qt 3.x is now supported.

Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access.

Font Configuration Library contains two essential modules, the configuration module which builds an internal configuration from XML files and the matching module which accepts font patterns and returns the nearest matching font.

The configuration module consists of the FcConfig datatype, libexpat and FcConfigParse which walks over an XML tree and ammends a configuration with data found within. From an external perspective, configuration of the library consists of generating a valid XML tree and feeding that to FcConfigParse.

The only other mechanism provided to applications for changing the running configuration is to add fonts and directories to the list of application-provided font files.

The intent is to make font configurations relatively static, and shared by as many applications as possible.

It is hoped that this will lead to more stable font selection when passing names from one application to another. XML was chosen as a configuration file format because it provides a format which is easy for external agents to edit while retaining the correct structure and syntax.

Font configuration is separate from font matching; applications needing to do their own matching can access the available fonts from the library and perform private matching.

The intent is to permit applications to pick and choose appropriate functionality from the library instead of forcing them to choose between this library and a private configuration mechanism.

The hope is that this will ensure that configuration of fonts for all applications can be centralized in one place. Centralizing font configuration will simplify and regularize font installation and customization.

Simple XML Configuration Library an XML library for parsing a simple configuration file format.
Simple XML Configuration Library is actively developed for *nix, Mac OS X and *BSD. The goal of the project is to provide a library that can be easily wrapped into other languages such as Python and Java.
Installation:
- run: build.sh
- run: ./configure
- run: make
- run: make install
Enhancements:
- fixed memory leak on name allocations and in Destroy

Razer DeathAdder mouse configuration is a configuration utility for the Razer DeathAdder on Linux systems.
You can control the LEDs, scanning resolution and frequency and profiles with this tool. In future things like firmware upload are also planned.
Enhancements:
- This adds support for the Razer Krait mouse.
