Why not just use LDAP?
LDAP or Light Weight Directory Access Protocol has been around for a long time, and if you have ever had to set it up it can be a major pain in the butt. The aim of this project is to provide a very simple drop in package that can leverage both a public or private cloud (data centers) for easy deployment of new and old Linux servers. If you have every managed 100's of Linux server configure LDAP is a time sink, I just want to drop the agent in add a few lines to a config file and boom! Access control leveraging a existing user base is done it can DIP via the public cloud or a private cloud I can setup and manage.
