How can I design a Linux installation for security?
by preWarp from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CYPG)
I want to know if an expert installer uses open ldap for administration of a network in a warehouse management use case?
For example, I am a newbie so my go to for a network and server is:
install Linux server (Ubuntu server, fedora server, freeBSD)
install server program, eg a database
install other server(s), eg apachee.
Then to use the application a client connects to the server; following configuration, eg setting up a user account, linking the front end to the database, etc.
But what about scalability? Should I use a scheme like with windows server? A domain is typically required. I doubt a workgroup is secure in any scenario except for a terminal server because there problems are limited to server(s) instead of many workgroup PCs. The times I have installed MariaDB on Linux server, I was using Linux server similar to a peer-to-peer or windows workgroup manner. Now I am teaching myself to think about security for a scalable use case; eg Odoo MRP and a warehouse business management scheme.
Thoughts?
