BASEALT: libdomain Open query library for domain databases

2023: Receiving grant support from the Innovation Assistance Fund to finalize the libdomain open library

On January 10, 2023, BASEALT received grant support from the Innovation Assistance Fund to finalize the libdomain open library, designed to create and apply domain administration tools with various organizations: Samba, FreeIPA, Active Directory. This decision is especially necessary when the public sector and business are massively switching from imported operating systems to Russian ones, and the tools for administering domestic systems are actively developing.

The library will allow you to generalize (unify) requests databases to directory services of various domain. infrastructures Its use gives, among other things, the opportunity to create and use unified group policies for corporate IT infrastructures with Russian and foreign operating systems. In 2022, BASEALT completed a project to create group policy management tools, implemented with grant support, and RFRIT continues to work on improving this solution.

Grant support from the Innovation Promotion Fund will accelerate the development of the libdomain open library. It will be included in the independent open repository of the Sisyphus project, so developers of tools for domain administration can use it. Russian organizations and enterprises are very interested in creating such tools, because this will help them seamlessly transfer IT infrastructures to domestic software, noted Sergey Trandin, General Director of BASEALT.

The libdomain library, developed by BASEALT, is an open source project. Developers of all countries can use it to create:

• Specialized domain infrastructure management tools
• Additional commercial applications (e.g. laps for) Windows
• tools integration with other applications (for example, 1C under); Linux
• applications for migration from Windows to Russian operating systems on the Linux kernel;
• process automation tools in large organizations;
• specialized modules for powershell;
• administration environments, etc.

Since 2022, the Innovation Assistance Fund has begun issuing grants for the development of free software. BASEALT experts hope that grant support for free software development projects will increase. This will allow Russian programmers to transfer even more of their developments for common use, thereby strengthening the transfer of technologies with international SPO projects and their positions in them.
