Built-in LDAP support

deepOfix is one of the first (and few) GNU/Linux operating systems that ship with built-in and pre-integrated support for LDAP. LDAP support in deepOfix goes beyond installation - in deepOfix LDAP is not just installed, but also configured as the default store for user account data and password information. LDAP support not only enables deepOfix to be highly scalable, but also ensure a large group of features that would otherwise have been impossible.

Intelligent & flexible account management

Superior account management is one of the most important features of deepOfix:

How else would you modify the mailbox quotas and passwords of 250 users at the same time?
How else would you query the server to see which users haven't changed their passwords in the recent past (or are supposed to change them in a few days). Similarly, how else would you effectively and effortlessly remind users to change their passwords reguarly and enforce some sort of password policy server-wide?
How effortlessly can you copy all emails of a user being deleted to another?

The EasyPush Server Manager lets you do this (and more) all this in just a few seconds!
