I guess that means it’s dead, as there’s no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

    I have something like 40-60 machines between hypervisors, VM, and physical. Central auth is an absolute must for that scale. Sure I could just re use the same password 60 times, but if that gets popped, I’d also have to change it 60 times (adding config management is a soon to be completed task)

      You can’t call that a home environment anymore.
      That is corporate scale and imo can be monetized

        Actually, I legally can’t make money off of it for reasons that would dox me.

        I already pay for both VMware and Microsoft licensing among several others. If I can get my SSO by saving a little bit of money by using a different product, I will. I don’t mind paying for software I use when it makes sense, I only disagree with companies up-charging features like SSO that should be available to all customers.
