Welcome to vmam’s documentation!¶
vmam is a Unix server-side application, which allows you to manage LDAP users representing the physical cards present on a given network. Network cards are represented and interpreted by vmam as LDAP user, with specific attributes. vmam also manages computer accounts, in case your radius policies provide for authentication from computer accounts. All this is possible thanks to a simple configuration file.
vmam can be used in two ways. One, using its command line CLI, or as a python module. Using it as a python module, you can create your own environment without using the configuration file. See the next section for more information.
RFC¶
vmam is based on various RFC. See this: IEEE 802.1X, RFC 3580, RFC 4014, RFC 2865, RFC 3579.
