Debian vs FreeIPA: What are the differences?
Developers describe Debian as "The Universal Operating System". Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel or the FreeBSD kernel. Linux is a piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. FreeBSD is an operating system including a kernel and other software. On the other hand, FreeIPA is detailed as "Manage Linux users and client hosts in your realm from one central location with CLI, Web UI or RPC access". FreeIPA is an integrated Identity and Authentication solution for Linux/UNIX networked environments. A FreeIPA server provides centralized authentication, authorization and account information by storing data about user, groups, hosts and other objects necessary to manage the security aspects of a network of computers.
Debian and FreeIPA can be categorized as "Operating Systems" tools.
FreeIPA is an open source tool with 317 GitHub stars and 186 GitHub forks. Here's a link to FreeIPA's open source repository on GitHub.
