CVTSUDOERS(1) General Commands Manual CVTSUDOERS(1) NNAAMMEE ccvvttssuuddooeerrss - convert between sudoers file formats SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS ccvvttssuuddooeerrss [--eehhMMppVV] [--bb _d_n] [--cc _c_o_n_f___f_i_l_e] [--dd _d_e_f_t_y_p_e_s] [--ff _o_u_t_p_u_t___f_o_r_m_a_t] [--ii _i_n_p_u_t___f_o_r_m_a_t] [--II _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t] [--mm _f_i_l_t_e_r] [--oo _o_u_t_p_u_t___f_i_l_e] [--OO _s_t_a_r_t___p_o_i_n_t] [--PP _p_a_d_d_i_n_g] [--ss _s_e_c_t_i_o_n_s] [_i_n_p_u_t___f_i_l_e] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN ccvvttssuuddooeerrss can be used to convert between _s_u_d_o_e_r_s security policy file formats. The default input format is sudoers. The default output format is LDIF. It is only possible to convert a _s_u_d_o_e_r_s file that is syntactically correct. If no _i_n_p_u_t___f_i_l_e is specified, or if it is `-', the policy is read from the standard input. By default, the result is written to the standard output. The options are as follows: --bb _d_n, ----bbaassee=_d_n The base DN (distinguished name) that will be used when performing LDAP queries. Typically this is of the form ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com for the domain my-domain.com. If this option is not specified, the value of the SUDOERS_BASE environment variable will be used instead. Only necessary when converting to LDIF format. --cc _c_o_n_f___f_i_l_e, ----ccoonnffiigg=_c_o_n_f___f_i_l_e Specify the path to the configuration file. Defaults to _/_e_t_c_/_c_v_t_s_u_d_o_e_r_s_._c_o_n_f. --dd _d_e_f_t_y_p_e_s, ----ddeeffaauullttss=_d_e_f_t_y_p_e_s Only convert Defaults entries of the specified types. One or more Defaults types may be specified, separated by a comma (`,'). The supported types are: all All Defaults entries. global Global Defaults entries that are applied regardless of user, runas, host or command. user Per-user Defaults entries. runas Per-runas user Defaults entries. host Per-host Defaults entries. command Per-command Defaults entries. See the DDeeffaauullttss section in sudoers(4) for more information. If the --dd option is not specified, all Defaults entries will be converted. --ee, ----eexxppaanndd--aalliiaasseess Expand aliases in _i_n_p_u_t___f_i_l_e. Aliases are preserved by default when the output _f_o_r_m_a_t is JSON or sudoers. --ff _o_u_t_p_u_t___f_o_r_m_a_t, ----oouuttppuutt--ffoorrmmaatt=_o_u_t_p_u_t___f_o_r_m_a_t Specify the output format (case-insensitive). The following formats are supported: JSON JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files are usually easier for third-party applications to consume than the traditional _s_u_d_o_e_r_s format. The various values have explicit types which removes much of the ambiguity of the _s_u_d_o_e_r_s format. LDIF LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) files can be imported into an LDAP server for use with sudoers.ldap(4). Conversion to LDIF has the following limitations: ++oo Command, host, runas and user-specific Defaults lines cannot be translated as they don't have an equivalent in the sudoers LDAP schema. ++oo Command, host, runas and user aliases are not supported by the sudoers LDAP schema so they are expanded during the conversion. sudoers Traditional sudoers format. A new sudoers file will be reconstructed from the parsed input file. Comments are not preserved and data from any include files will be output inline. --hh, ----hheellpp Display a short help message to the standard output and exit. --ii _i_n_p_u_t___f_o_r_m_a_t, ----iinnppuutt--ffoorrmmaatt=_i_n_p_u_t___f_o_r_m_a_t Specify the input format. The following formats are supported: LDIF LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) files can be exported from an LDAP server to convert security policies used by sudoers.ldap(4). If a base DN (distinguished name) is specified, only sudoRole objects that match the base DN will be processed. Not all sudoOptions specified in a sudoRole can be translated from LDIF to sudoers format. sudoers Traditional sudoers format. This is the default input format. --II _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t, ----iinnccrreemmeenntt=_i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t When generating LDIF output, increment each sudoOrder attribute by the specified number. Defaults to an increment of 1. --mm _f_i_l_t_e_r, ----mmaattcchh=_f_i_l_t_e_r Only output rules that match the specified _f_i_l_t_e_r. A _f_i_l_t_e_r expression is made up of one or more kkeeyy == _v_a_l_u_e pairs, separated by a comma (`,'). The kkeeyy may be "user", "group" or "host". For example, uusseerr = _o_p_e_r_a_t_o_r or hhoosstt = _w_w_w. An upper-case User_Alias or Host_Alias may be specified as the "user" or "host". A matching _s_u_d_o_e_r_s rule may also include users, groups and hosts that are not part of the _f_i_l_t_e_r. This can happen when a rule includes multiple users, groups or hosts. To prune out any non-matching user, group or host from the rules, the --pp option may be used. By default, the password and group databases are not consulted when matching against the filter so the users and groups do not need to be present on the local system (see the --MM option). Only aliases that are referenced by the filtered policy rules will be displayed. --MM, ----mmaattcchh--llooccaall When the --mm option is also specified, use password and group database information when matching users and groups in the filter. Only users and groups in the filter that exist on the local system will match, and a user's groups will automatically be added to the filter. If the --MM is _n_o_t specified, users and groups in the filter do not need to exist on the local system, but all groups used for matching must be explicitly listed in the filter. --oo _o_u_t_p_u_t___f_i_l_e, ----oouuttppuutt=_o_u_t_p_u_t___f_i_l_e Write the converted output to _o_u_t_p_u_t___f_i_l_e. If no _o_u_t_p_u_t___f_i_l_e is specified, or if it is `-', the converted _s_u_d_o_e_r_s policy will be written to the standard output. --OO _s_t_a_r_t___p_o_i_n_t, ----oorrddeerr--ssttaarrtt=_s_t_a_r_t___p_o_i_n_t When generating LDIF output, use the number specified by _s_t_a_r_t___p_o_i_n_t in the sudoOrder attribute of the first sudoRole object. Subsequent sudoRole object use a sudoOrder value generated by adding an _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t, see the --II option for details. Defaults to a starting point of 1. A starting point of 0 will disable the generation of sudoOrder attributes in the resulting LDIF file. --pp, ----pprruunnee--mmaattcchheess When the --mm option is also specified, ccvvttssuuddooeerrss will prune out non-matching users, groups and hosts from matching entries. --PP _p_a_d_d_i_n_g, ----ppaaddddiinngg=_p_a_d_d_i_n_g When generating LDIF output, construct the initial sudoOrder value by concatenating _o_r_d_e_r___s_t_a_r_t and _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t, padding the _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t with zeros until it consists of _p_a_d_d_i_n_g digits. For example, if _o_r_d_e_r___s_t_a_r_t is 1027, _p_a_d_d_i_n_g is 3, and _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t is 1, the value of sudoOrder for the first entry will be 1027000, followed by 1027001, 1027002, etc. If the number of sudoRole entries is larger than the padding would allow, ccvvttssuuddooeerrss will exit with an error. By default, no padding is performed. --ss _s_e_c_t_i_o_n_s, ----ssuupppprreessss=_s_e_c_t_i_o_n_s Suppress the output of specific _s_e_c_t_i_o_n_s of the security policy. One or more section names may be specified, separated by a comma (`,'). The supported section name are: ddeeffaauullttss, aalliiaasseess and pprriivviilleeggeess (which may be shortened to pprriivvss). --VV, ----vveerrssiioonn Print the ccvvttssuuddooeerrss and _s_u_d_o_e_r_s grammar versions and exit. Options in the form "keyword = value" may also be specified in a configuration file, _/_e_t_c_/_c_v_t_s_u_d_o_e_r_s_._c_o_n_f by default. The following keywords are recognized: ddeeffaauullttss == _d_e_f_t_y_p_e_s See the description of the --dd command line option. eexxppaanndd__aalliiaasseess == _y_e_s | _n_o See the description of the --ee command line option. iinnppuutt__ffoorrmmaatt == _l_d_i_f | _s_u_d_o_e_r_s See the description of the --ii command line option. mmaattcchh == _f_i_l_t_e_r See the description of the --mm command line option. oorrddeerr__iinnccrreemmeenntt == _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t See the description of the --II command line option. oorrddeerr__ssttaarrtt == _s_t_a_r_t___p_o_i_n_t See the description of the --OO command line option. oouuttppuutt__ffoorrmmaatt == _j_s_o_n | _l_d_i_f | _s_u_d_o_e_r_s See the description of the --ff command line option. ppaaddddiinngg == _p_a_d_d_i_n_g See the description of the --PP command line option. pprruunnee__mmaattcchheess == _y_e_s | _n_o See the description of the --pp command line option. ssuuddooeerrss__bbaassee == _d_n See the description of the --bb command line option. ssuupppprreessss == _s_e_c_t_i_o_n_s See the description of the --ss command line option.
