Through the integration of the software Samba in Univention Corporate Server we provide you with Microsoft Windows Services.
In this video we like to explain you the basic concept behind the software Samba in UCS and present you two of the most widely used UCS extensions. These are the Microsoft Active Directory compatible domain controller and the Windows compatible member server.
Our App Center now offers m23, a browser-based software distribution solution for Linux clients. Using m23 you can easily roll out software on your Linux clients and manage them. No matter whether you have to manage only a few clients and servers or a large number.
For installing and managing your Linux clients you can choose from many auto-configured desktop environments and thousands of software packages such as Office, graphic tools, and server applications.
Further functions of m23 are, among others:
The critical security gap known under the name “Badlock“, which had been discovered by Samba developers within the Samba software but also within Windows, also concerns the Samba software integrated in UCS.
We are happy to now provide you with an erratum update for all UCS versions that are in maintenance. Please update your UCS installation for this using one of the three following procedures:
With Univention Corporate Server 4.0-5 Univention publishes the fifth point release of UCS 4.0.

How to back up data from Linux and Windows machines centrally with Bareos and restore them in case of disaster.
Performing periodic backups in computer networks is indispensable. In times of Locky and other ransomware backups are often the only option left to regain access to your data. Nevertheless, for backups to be effective against these types of threats, a number of aspects have to be considered.
Jenkins is one of the most known Open Source automation server offering several hundred plug-ins for supporting the creation, testing, operation and automation of software. Thanks to Jenkins software will be automatically tested with each new feature that is added during the development process. This allows to notice early whether the new feature leads to an incorrect behavior in another area. Jenkins is furthermore the first app which our development team itself has provisioned as a native Docker app.
Apple is fundamentally against creating a backdoor allowing US authorities to bypass smartphone encryption. However, companies alone deciding whether backdoors are acceptable will not result in increased data security for us. We need open encryption mechanisms which can also be modified by users in case of doubt.
