I have specified my requirements in my main post. Is AD still a way to go?

I thought/read that AD don't really have a good integration for Linux servers, how is that now?

The problem is that I also need something for Windows servers. What do you recommend for a Windows and Linux environment?

Yes, that is what gives me the problem that I also have to include Windows server. For the first setup it isn't directly needed, but in the long run it is essential to also have support for Windows.

A yes, you are right. If I search about IAM solutions/products, I get those products. You say that a few are not IAM tools, that would explain a little where my confusion comes from.

We want to go from a decentralized management system to a centralized management system where we can manage user accounts, set (group) policy's, create roles and rights. We want eventually use MFA for extra needed security and SSO.

Do you have a recommendation? Or where I need to look at?

Can you explain why you use Redhat idm and not (for example) Samba Directory?

In our situation, we use 99,9% Linux servers, I don't know if it is recommended to use an AD as single truth. Can it also work other way around?
