CompTIA Linux+: Authentication & Authorization

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Linux authentication and authorization determine which entities have what access to specific resources. Managing user authentication methods including elevated privileges and remote management are critical skills for Linux technicians. In this course, I will begin with a discussion of authentication and authorization including how pluggable authentication module (PAM) works in Linux. I will then create and manage Linux user account and password settings. Next, I will create and manage Linux groups, configuration files, and I will configure sudo for normal user elevated privileges. Lastly, I will discuss various Linux remote management solutions, I will configure Secure Shell (SSH), and I will configure a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and client. This course can be used to prepare for the Linux+ XK0-005 certification exam.
