Bug#907366: O: krb5-sync -- MIT Kerberos Active Directory synchronization plugin
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the krb5-sync package. I no longer use the package and
it doesn't seem likely that I will again soon, so I'm no longer a good
maintainer for it.
The package builds two binary packages. krb5-sync-plugin's description:
This plugin synchronizes passwords changed via kadmin or kpasswd to a
foreign realm via the Kerberos password change protocol (normally, but
not necessarily, an Active Directory realm). It can also propagate
changes to the DISALLOW_ALL_TIX flag to Windows Active Directory using
LDAP.
This package provides a plugin for the MIT Kerberos KDC and will not work
with Heimdal.
krb5-sync-tools's description:
Provides tools to enable, disable, and set the password of an account in
a Windows Active Directory using the same configuration used by the
krb5-sync-plugin package. These supporting tools are normally used to
handle queued changes created by the plugin that failed due to a
temporary error, but can be used on their own.
Note that the package is also orphaned upstream (I was also the upstream
maintainer). It is a limited and specialized piece of software and may
require local changes to be useful, but it does seem to get some use and I
was originally asked to package it for Debian instead of just for Stanford.
