Upon completing the course, participants will be able to:

  • Configure Samba as a domain member or domain controller, including Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) roles
  • Manage CIFS/DFS shares and printing services in mixed environments
  • Administer Samba clients on both Linux and Windows systems
  • Implement FreeIPA, including installation, entity management, and integration with Active Directory
  • Use OpenLDAP for directory management and replication
  • Set up centralized authentication and manage users and groups across platforms

To participate in this training, attendees must meet the following requirements:

  • Active LPIC‑2 certification (mandatory prerequisite)

Learning Methodology

The learning methodology, regardless of the modality (in-person or remote), is based on the development of workshops or labs that lead to the construction of a project, emulating real activities in a company.

The instructor (live), a professional with extensive experience in work environments related to the topics covered, acts as a workshop leader, guiding students' practice through knowledge transfer processes, applying the concepts of the proposed syllabus to the project.

The methodology seeks that the student does not memorize, but rather understands the concepts and how they are applied in a work environment.

As a result of this work, at the end of the training the student will have gained real experience, will be prepared for work and to pass an interview, a technical test, and/or achieve higher scores on international certification exams.

Conditions to guarantee successful results:
  • a. An institution that requires the application of the model through organization, logistics, and strict control over the activities to be carried out by the participants in each training session.
  • b. An instructor located anywhere in the world, who has the required in-depth knowledge, expertise, experience, and outstanding values, ensuring a very high-level knowledge transfer.
  • c. A committed student, with the space, time, and attention required by the training process, and the willingness to focus on understanding how concepts are applied in a work environment, and not memorizing concepts just to take an exam.
