Resumen
En la actualidad la mayoría de los administradores de red cubanos utilizan el servidor de directorio Active Directory del Windows Server que es una solución propietaria. Sin embargo desde abril del 2004 el Ministerio de la Informática y de Comunicaciones (MIC) dispuso la migración progresiva hacia software libre. Uno de los servidores de directorio en software libre más utilizados y que brinda una gran variedad de utilidades es el OpenLDAP. Existen diferentes herramientas que permiten la administración del servidor de directorio OpenLDAP de forma visual, sin embargo no cuentan con gran cantidad de facilidades y prestaciones, provocando rechazo a la migración a software libre. En el presente trabajo se muestra como puede introducirse OpenLDAP en un ambiente heterogéneo así como la instalación y configuración de los servicios básicos de redes facilitando la migración hacia el software libre.
Además, se hace una propuesta de integración de recursos en un dominio con diferentes servicios utilizando software libre que puede ser utilizado en cualquier empresa. Esa propuesta se hace sobre los servicios de directorios, correo electrónico, acceso a internet y servicios de infraestructura de redes.
Today most Cuban network administrators utilize Active Directory for Windows Servers as solution for providing directory service with their organizations. However, in Cuba, since April 2004, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has ordered a gradual migration towards the utilization of free software within the country. Unfortunately there is a tendency to reject this migration process due to a general lack of functional features in the many existing directory service tools today. OpenLDAP however is one of the most efficient and commonly used free directory service tools available and is well known to provide a wide range of utilities and functionality for its support. This project therefore shows how one can introduce OpenLDAP in a heterogeneous environment, facilitating a fully functional domain. It shows how to realize the installations and configuration necessary for the basic network services, all this facilitating an easy transition towards free software. A proposal is made for the integration of the resources within a domain and its basic network services utilizing free software. This proposal serves as a viable guide for any company in need of them. It includes implementation of services such as directory services, electronic mail, internet access and services of network infrastructure.
