See the COPYRIGHT file. +.\" $OpenLDAP$ +.SH NAME +slapo-nssov \- NSS and PAM requests through a local Unix Domain socket +.SH SYNOPSIS +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.B nssov +overlay to +.BR slapd (8) +services NSS and PAM requests through a local Unix Domain socket. +It uses the same IPC protocol as Arthur de Jong's nss-pam-ldapd. +An extract of the nss-ldapd source is included along with the +nssov source code to allow the overlay to communicate with the +nss-pam-ldapd client stubs. +.LP +Using a separate IPC protocol for NSS and PAM requests eliminates the +libldap dependencies/clashes that the current pam_ldap/nss_ldap solutions +all suffer from. Both the original nss-ldapd and this nssov solution +are free from these library issues. +.LP +Unlike nss-pam-ldapd, since this overlay executes inside slapd it allows for +the possibility of sophisticated caching, without any of the weaknesses of +nscd and other related caching solutions. E.g., a remote LDAP database can +be accessed using back-ldap with proxy caching (see +.BR slapd-ldap (5) +and +.BR slapo-pcache (5) +) to leverage back-ldap's +connection pooling as well as pcache's persistent caching, to provide +high performance and a measure of support for disconnected operation. +Alternatively, cache considerations can be completely eliminated by running +a regular database with syncrepl to maintain synchronization with a remote +LDAP database. +.LP +Another major benefit of nssov is that it allows all security policy to be +administered centrally via LDAP, instead of having fragile rules scattered +across multiple flat files. As such, there is no client-side configuration at +all for the NSS/PAM stub libraries. (The stubs talk to the server via a Unix +domain socket whose path is hardcoded to NSLCDPATH). As a side benefit, +this can finally eliminate the perpetual confusion between OpenLDAP's +ldap.conf file in ETCDIR/ldap.conf and the similarly named files typically +used by pam_ldap and nss_ldap. +.LP +User authentication is performed by internal simple Binds. User authorization +leverages the slapd ACL engine, which offers much more power and flexibility +than the simple group/hostname checks in the old pam_ldap code. +.LP +To use this code, you will need the client-side stub library from +nss-pam-ldapd. You can get it from: +http://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd +You will not need the nslcd daemon; this overlay replaces that part. +To disable building of the nslcd daemon in nss-pam-ldapd, add the +--disable-nslcd option to the nss-pam-ldapd configure script. You +should already be familiar with the RFC2307 and RFC2307bis schema +to use this overlay. See the nss-pam-ldapd README for more information +on the schema and which features are supported. +.LP +You will also need to include the nis.schema in your slapd configuration +for RFC2307 support. If you wish to use RFC2307bis you will need a slightly +different schema. You will also need the ldapns.schema for PAM authorization +management. +.LP +You must select +.B ldap +in the appropriate services in +.I /etc/nsswitch.conf +in order for these NSS features to take effect. Likewise, you must +enable +.B pam_ldap +for the authenticate, account, session, and password services in +.I /etc/pam.conf +or +.I /etc/pam.d +for these PAM features to take effect. + +.TP +.B overlay nssov +This directive adds the nssov overlay to the current backend. +.TP +.B nssov-ssd <service> <url> +This directive configures a Service Search Descriptor (SSD) for each NSS +service that will be used. The <service> may be one of +.RS +.nf + aliases + ethers + group + hosts + netgroup + networks + passwd + protocols + rpc + services + shadow +.fi +.RE +and the <url> must be of the form +.RS +.TP +.B ldap:///[<basedn>][??[<scope>][?<filter>]] +.RE +The +.B <basedn> +will default to the first suffix of the current database. +The +.B <scope> +defaults to "subtree". The default +.B <filter> +depends on which service is being used. +.TP +.B nssov-map <service> <orig> <new> +If the local database is actually a proxy to a foreign LDAP server, some +mapping of schema may be needed. This directive allows some simple attribute +substitutions to be performed. See the +.B nss-ldapd/README +for the original attribute names used in this code. +.TP +.B nssov-pam <option> [...] +This directive determines a number of PAM behaviors. Multiple options may +be used at once, and available levels are: +.RS +.RS +.PD 0 +.TP +.B userhost +check host attribute in user entry for authorization +.TP +.B userservice +check authorizedService attribute in user entry for authorization +.TP +.B usergroup +check that user is a member of specific group for authorization +.TP +.B hostservice +check authorizedService attribute in host entry for authorization +.TP +.B authz2dn +use authz-regexp mapping to map uid to LDAP DN +.TP +.B uid2dn +use NSS passwd SSD to map uid to LDAP DN +.PD +.RE + +Setting the +.BR userhost , +.BR userservice , +and +.B usergroup +options duplicates the original pam_ldap authorization behavior. + +The recommended approach is to use +.B hostservice +instead. In this case, ipHost entries must be created for all hosts +being managed, and they must also have the authorizedServiceObject +class to allow authorizedService attributes to be used. Also the +NSS host SSD must be configured so that ipHost entries can be found. +Authorization is checked by performing an LDAP Compare operation +looking for the PAM service name in the authorizedService attribute. +.B slapd +ACLs should be set to grant or deny +.B Compare +privilege to the appropriate users or groups as desired. + +If the +.B authz2dn +option is set then authz-regexp mappings will be used to map the +PAM username to an LDAP DN. The authentication DN will be of the +form +.RS +.B cn=<service>+uid=<user>,cn=<hostname>,cn=pam,cn=auth +.RE + +If no mapping is found for this authentication DN, then this +mapping will be ignored. + +If the +.B uid2dn +option is set then the NSS passwd SSD will be used to map the +PAM username to an LDAP DN. The passwd SSD must have already been +configured for this mapping to succeed. + +If neither the authz2dn nor the uid2dn mapping succeeds, the module +will return a PAM_USER_UNKNOWN failure code. If both options are set, +the authz mapping is attempted first; if it succeeds the uid2dn mapping +will be skipped. + +By default only the +.B uid2dn +option is set. +.RE +.TP +.B nssov-pam-defhost <hostname> +Specify a default hostname to check if an ipHost entry for the current +hostname cannot be found. This setting is only relevant if the +.B hostservice +option has been set. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-group-dn <DN> +Specify the DN of an LDAP group to check for authorization. The LDAP user +must be a member of this group for the login to be allowed. There is no +default value. This setting is only relevant if the +.B usergroup +option has been set. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-group-ad <attribute> +Specify the attribute to use for group membership checks. +There is no default value. This setting is only relevant if the +.B usergroup +option has been set. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-min-uid <integer> +Specify a minimum uid that is allowed to login. Users with a uidNumber +lower than this value will be denied access. The default is zero, which +disables this setting. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-max-uid <integer> +Specify a maximum uid that is allowed to login. Users with a uidNumber +higher than this value will be denied access. The default is zero, which +disables this setting. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-template-ad <attribute> +Specify an attribute to check in a user's entry for a template login name. +The template login feature is used by FreeBSD's PAM framework. It can be +viewed as a form of proxying, where a user can authenticate with one +username/password pair, but is assigned the identity and credentials of +the template user. This setting is disabled by default. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-template <name> +Specify a default username to be used if no template attribute is found +in the user's entry. The +.B nssov-pam-template-ad +directive must be configured for this setting to have any effect. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-session <service> +Specify a PAM service name whose sessions will be recorded. For the +configured services, logins will be recorded in the +.TP +.B nssov-pam-password-prohibit-message <message> +Diable password change service and return the specified message to +users. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-pwdmgr-dn <dn> +Specify the dn of the password manager. +.TP +.B nssov-pam-pwdmgr-pwd <pwd> +Specify the pwd of the password manager. +.TP +.B loginStatus +operational attribute of the user's entry. The attribute's values are +of the form +.RS +.RS +.B <generalizedTime> <host> <service> <tty> (<ruser@rhost>) +.RE +.RE +Upon logout the corresponding value will be deleted. This feature allows +a single LDAP Search to be used to check which users are logged in across +all the hosts of a network. The rootdn of the database is used to perform +the updates of the loginStatus attribute, so a rootdn must already be +configured for this feature to work. By default no services are configured. +.LP +The PAM functions support LDAP Password Policy as well. If the password +policy overlay is in use (see +.BR slapo-ppolicy (5)), +policy +information (e.g. password expiration, password quality, etc.) +may be returned to the PAM client as a result of authentication, +account management, and password modification requests. + +The overlay also supports dynamic configuration in cn=config. An example +of the config entry is +.LP +.RS +.nf + dn: olcOverlay={0}nssov,ocDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config + objectClass: olcOverlayConfig + objectClass: olcNssOvConfig + olcOverlay: {0}nssov + olcNssSsd: passwd ldap:///ou=users,dc=example,dc=com??one + olcNssMap: passwd uid accountName + olcNssPam: hostservice uid2dn + olcNssPamDefHost: defaulthost + olcNssPamMinUid: 500 + olcNssPamMaxUid: 32000 + olcNssPamSession: login + olcNssPamSession: sshd +.fi +.RE +.LP +which enables the passwd service, and uses the accountName attribute to +fetch what is usually retrieved from the uid attribute.
