net::MC, which is an abbreviation for Networks Management Center, is a web-based application easing the day-to-day administrative tasks in a heterogenous network environment running both Windows- and Linux-based clients and servers maintaining a centralized directory service. net::mc is freely available under the GNU General Public License.
net::MC has been developed for a LAMP server (assuming the standard formula: linux, apache, mysql, and php4/5) providing a tool to manage the information stored in a centralized ldap service like openldap2.
These applications and services are spread widely and are maintained by the open-source community, which ensures further development. The decision using a web application has been made, because they are easy to use and usually available on almost any workstation computers.
Here are some key features of "net::MC":
· Posix user accounts and nested groups
· Samba3 user, machine accounts, groups, and trusts
· DHCP server with LDAP as backend
· DNS or LDAP2DNS (http://ldap2dns.tiscover.com)
· Sendmail/Postfix accounts, aliases, and routing
· Cyrus accounts and quota (based on http://www.web-cyradm.org)
· LDAP directory service for address books.
Requirements:
· LAMP/MAMP environment
