# FreeIPA - Identity, Policy, Audit

<https://www.freeipa.org/page/Main_Page>

## Identity

Manage Linux users and [client hosts](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Client) in your realm from [one central location](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Directory_Server) with CLI, [Web UI](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_UI) or RPC access. Enable [Single Sign On](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Kerberos) authentication for all your systems, services and applications.

## Policy

Define [Kerberos](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Kerberos) authentication and authorization policies for your identities. Control services like [DNS](https://www.freeipa.org/page/DNS), SUDO, SELinux or autofs.

## Trusts

Create mutual [trust](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Trusts) with other Identity Management systems like [Microsoft Active Directory](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Active_Directory_trust_setup).
