on “Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2019)”Auth. If you can stomach it, back it up with a real directory service. JumpCloud is a great way to do it. It's free up to 10 users. You can use it with Google Hosted Apps as your user backend. You can set it up in 10 minutes. It has TONS of features, you probably won't look at them all once you can use it as an SSO/LDAP provider, you can forget about all that until you need more. Also you can easily replace it with…

on “Ask HN: What is the first thing you implement at a new company?”> That sounds great, however, 'just launched' doesn't sound too promising. Just launched, as it's been out for months, and working very well. And we've been at the forefront of remotely managing Mac systems for years prior to this, we just anticipate that Macs will continue to be locked down in a way that will remove the ability for management software to continue to do it's job if it isn't tightly integrated with M…

In addition, I'm not sure whether you are GDPR-compliant as claimed at https://jumpcloud.com/gdpr . Where's your Privacy Shield certification and who's your EU representative according to art. 27 GDPR?

on “Apple Acquires Fleetsmith”I'll throw out there that I work for JumpCloud. We just launched our MDM service for Macs on top of the remote management of Macs we've supported for almost eight years now, and continue to support Windows, and Linux systems as well. If you manage a heterogeneous fleet you should check us out. (Or honestly, I think we're pretty great in homogeneous envs too). Accounts with less than 10 users are free. https://jumpcl…

on “Apple Acquires Fleetsmith”I'll throw out there that I work for JumpCloud, an Identity Management Provider, and we have a credential provider as well for seamless Windows login. We also have a Mac login window so your users have a seamless experience regardless of the OS (our Linux solution doesn't really need one). We've also got LDAP, RADIUS, gsuite, and O365 backends (plus more I'm forgetting I'm sure) and a ton of other niceties. Check us…

on “Ask HN: What do you use for SSH key management of teams?”Although endof10.org isn't really targeting businesses, the switch to Linux can be doable, depending on the size and age of the organisation. Usually, smaller and younger organisations these days tend to lean heavily into SaaS / cloud solutions (for IAM, configuration/endpoint management, business processes etc) and have very little traditional on-premise server infrastructure. This makes it easier for them to switc…
