Apache is on open source umbrella project with lots of features.
HTTPS is the simple but important part.
its free!
Allows CA authentication of Linux machines through AD in our domain.
Each Linux system has its own /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
LAB
I first configured my web01 box (10.0.5.4) and added it to the domain.
I downloaded apache (yum install httpd) and allowed the ports through my firewall (sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp / sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp)
Next, I started apache using the systemctl command
I was able to navigate to my webserver by searching the web01 name in the browser
I added an html file in the /var/www.html/ folder to make a web interface, and used php to run scripts
Linux Domain Join
The last part of the lab, I joined my system to my domain using realmd (sudo yum install realmd samba samba-common oddjob oddjob-mkhomedir sssd)
I used this command to join (realm join --user=[email protected] yourdomain.local
realm list)
