[Freeipa-users] freeipa harware appliance

[Karl Forner]

Thanks Martin.
My expected numbers: users ~ 50 max, concurrent clients/sessions < 20,
hosts < 20.
I was thinking about a server with an old intel cpu, 4Gb RAM and smal HDD
or USB key-based storage + an ethernet port.
I have no idea if it is a common use in IT to run such (critical)
application on its own dedicated appliance.
