MIT Kerberos 5 is used as the primary authentication method. AFS, a distributed network filesystem, is used to serve home directories, application binaries, and project space. OpenLDAP is used to serve Username to UID/GID mappings, Full Names, and /path/to/shell (it’s an /etc/passwd map without any passwords, served across the network).
