| How China taught me to use firewalld, Lawrence Kearney, Augusta University | 11B | Local firewalls provided by operating systems can and should be a layer in organisational security models. Deploying and configuring iptables configurations en masse can have its own complications, but introduce bespoke server configurations and many cringe at the viability of deploying the local firewall at all. Fortunately, firewalld does reduce the complexity of deploying iptables based firewalls using logical components most administrators are unaware of. Complex services such as database application stacks and HPC clusters can participate in layered security architectures without impacting functionality or causing administrators or users headaches. | |||||||
| Azure AD and Access Manager, Johnnie Odom, Escambia SD | 12A | A discussion of one of the greatest mysteries of our time: How does Access Manager (NAM) implement the Microsoft WS-Trust and WS-Fed protocols so that your users can use their organization-controlled accounts to authenticate to Microsoft’s increasingly broad set of Azure AD-adjacent services? We will cover the basics of Office 365 integration as detailed in the NAM documentation and then move on to binding Windows workstations to Azure with NAM in the middle, troubleshooting, and experiments using Access Manager to enable embedded PowerBI reports via the magic of OAuth. | |||||||

| Cloud Penetration Within Academia – Discussion Session, Lawrence Kearney, Johnnie Odom | 14 | The end game for cloud computing adoption is the coalescence of capital and operational expenses to operational expenses alone. The analysis then becomes are expenses reduced or stabilized without loss of functionality, with an acceptable loss of functionality,or gains in functionality. How prepared were local IT resources to get things off the ground, and were downstream interactions with staff, faculty, students, and accounts payable ready as well. Hopefully the discussion expands wildly from these initial thoughts,but stays on topic enough to be useful. | |||||||
