Introduction

NetAuth is a secure authentication and authorization provider for small to medium scale installations. It provides a complete directory solution suitable for Linux systems operated in a domain-style environment and is suitable as a backend identity provider for arbitrary systems.

Key features of NetAuth include:

• Only one binary for the authentication and authorization provider. This greatly simplifies deployment, upgrades, and management.
• Simple and easy to use control binaries that do the right thing.
• Documentation that is not from a defunct company.
• An easy to build for RPC interface based on gRPC.
