+\fBsudoers.ldap\fR
+\- sudo LDAP configuration
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+In addition to the standard
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file,
+\fBsudo\fR
+may be configured
+via LDAP.
+This can be especially useful for synchronizing
+\fIsudoers\fR
+in a large, distributed environment.
+.PP
+Using LDAP for
+\fIsudoers\fR
+has several benefits:
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+\fBsudo\fR
+no longer needs to read
+\fIsudoers\fR
+in its entirety.
+When LDAP is used, there are only two or three LDAP queries per invocation.
+This makes it especially fast and particularly usable in LDAP environments.
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+\fBsudo\fR
+no longer exits if there is a typo in
+\fIsudoers\fR.
+It is not possible to load LDAP data into the server that does
+not conform to the sudoers schema, so proper syntax is guaranteed.
+It is still possible to have typos in a user or host name, but
+this will not prevent
+\fBsudo\fR
+from running.
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+It is possible to specify per-entry options that override the global
+default options.
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
+only supports default options and limited options associated with
+user/host/commands/aliases.
+The syntax is complicated and can be difficult for users to understand.
+Placing the options directly in the entry is more natural.
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+The
+\fBvisudo\fR
+program is no longer needed.
+\fBvisudo\fR
+provides locking and syntax checking of the
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
+file.
+Since LDAP updates are atomic, locking is no longer necessary.
+Because syntax is checked when the data is inserted into LDAP, there
+is no need for a specialized tool to check syntax.
+.SS "SUDOers LDAP container"
+The
+\fIsudoers\fR
+configuration is contained in the
+\fRou=SUDOers\fR
+LDAP container.
+.PP
+Sudo first looks for the
+\fRcn=defaults\fR
+entry in the SUDOers container.
+If found, the multi-valued
+\fRsudoOption\fR
+attribute is parsed in the same manner as a global
+\fRDefaults\fR
+line in
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR.
+In the following example, the
+\fRSSH_AUTH_SOCK\fR
+variable will be preserved in the environment for all users.

+.RE

+.PP
+The equivalent of a sudoer in LDAP is a
+\fRsudoRole\fR.
+It consists of the following attributes:
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoUser\fR
+A user name, user-ID (prefixed with
+\(oq#\(cq),
+Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
+\(oq%\(cq
+or
+\(oq%#\(cq
+respectively), user netgroup (prefixed with
+\(oq+\(cq),
+or non-Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
+\(oq%:\(cq
+or
+\(oq%:#\(cq
+respectively).
+User netgroups are matched using the user and domain members only;
+the host member is not used when matching.
+Non-Unix group support is only available when an appropriate
+\fIgroup_plugin\fR
+is defined in the global
+\fIdefaults\fR
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+object.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoHost\fR
+A host name, IP address, IP network, or host netgroup (prefixed with a
+\(oq+\(cq).
+The special value
+\fRALL\fR
+will match any host.
+Host netgroups are matched using the host (both qualified and unqualified)
+and domain members only; the user member is not used when matching.
+If a
+\fRsudoHost\fR
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+\(oq\&!\(cq,
+and the entry matches, the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+Negated
+\fRsudoHost\fR
+entries are only supported by version 1.8.18 or higher.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoCommand\fR
+A fully-qualified Unix command name with optional command line arguments,
+potentially including globbing characters (aka wild cards).
+If a command name is preceded by an exclamation point,
+\(oq\&!\(cq,
+the user will be prohibited from running that command.
+.sp
+The built-in command
+\(lq\fRsudoedit\fR\(rq
+is used to permit a user to run
+\fBsudo\fR
+with the
+\fB\-e\fR
+option (or as
+\fBsudoedit\fR).
+It may take command line arguments just as a normal command does.
+Note that
+\(lq\fRsudoedit\fR\(rq
+is a command built into
+\fBsudo\fR
+itself and must be specified in without a leading path.
+.sp
+The special value
+\fRALL\fR
+will match any command.
+.sp
+If a command name is prefixed with a SHA-2 digest, it will
+only be allowed if the digest matches.
+This may be useful in situations where the user invoking
+\fBsudo\fR
+has write access to the command or its parent directory.
+The following digest formats are supported: sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512.
+The digest name must be followed by a colon
+(\(oq:\&\(cq)
+and then the actual digest, in either hex or base64 format.
+For example, given the following value for sudoCommand:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 10n
+sha224:0GomF8mNN3wlDt1HD9XldjJ3SNgpFdbjO1+NsQ /bin/ls
+.RE
+.fi
+.RS 6n
+.sp
+The user may only run
+\fI/bin/ls\fR
+if its sha224 digest matches the specified value.
+Command digests are only supported by version 1.8.7 or higher.
+.RE
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoOption\fR
+Identical in function to the global options described above, but
+specific to the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+in which it resides.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoRunAsUser\fR
+A user name or uid (prefixed with
+\(oq#\(cq)
+that commands may be run as or a Unix group (prefixed with a
+\(oq%\(cq)
+or user netgroup (prefixed with a
+\(oq+\(cq)
+that contains a list of users that commands may be run as.
+The special value
+\fRALL\fR
+will match any user.
+If a
+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+\(oq\&!\(cq,
+and the entry matches, the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+If
+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+is specified but empty, it will match the invoking user.
+If neither
+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+nor
+\fRsudoRunAsGroup\fR
+are present, the value of the
+\fIrunas_default\fR
+\fRsudoOption\fR
+is used (defaults to
+\fR@runas_default@\fR).
+.sp
+The
+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+attribute is only available in
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions
+1.7.0 and higher.
+Older versions of
+\fBsudo\fR
+use the
+\fRsudoRunAs\fR
+attribute instead.
+Negated
+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+entries are only supported by version 1.8.26 or higher.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoRunAsGroup\fR
+A Unix group or gid (prefixed with
+\(oq#\(cq)
+that commands may be run as.
+The special value
+\fRALL\fR
+will match any group.
+If a
+\fRsudoRunAsGroup\fR
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+\(oq\&!\(cq,
+and the entry matches, the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+.sp
+The
+\fRsudoRunAsGroup\fR
+attribute is only available in
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions
+1.7.0 and higher.
+Negated
+\fRsudoRunAsGroup\fR
+entries are only supported by version 1.8.26 or higher.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoNotBefore\fR
+A timestamp in the form
+\fRyyyymmddHHMMSSZ\fR
+that can be used to provide a start date/time for when the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+will be valid.
+If multiple
+\fRsudoNotBefore\fR
+entries are present, the earliest is used.
+Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
+not the local timezone.
+The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some LDAP servers
+require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
+.sp
+The
+\fRsudoNotBefore\fR
+attribute is only available in
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions 1.7.5 and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the
+\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR
+option in
+\fI@ldap_conf@\fR.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoNotAfter\fR
+A timestamp in the form
+\fRyyyymmddHHMMSSZ\fR
+that indicates an expiration date/time, after which the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+will no longer be valid.
+If multiple
+\fRsudoNotAfter\fR
+entries are present, the last one is used.
+Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
+not the local timezone.
+The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some LDAP servers
+require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
+.sp
+The
+\fRsudoNotAfter\fR
+attribute is only available in
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions
+1.7.5 and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the
+\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR
+option in
+\fI@ldap_conf@\fR.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoOrder\fR
+The
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+entries retrieved from the LDAP directory have no inherent order.
+The
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is an integer (or floating point value for LDAP servers
+that support it) that is used to sort the matching entries.
+This allows LDAP-based sudoers entries to more closely mimic the behavior
+of the sudoers file, where the order of the entries influences the result.
+If multiple entries match, the entry with the highest
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is chosen.
+This corresponds to the
+\(lqlast match\(rq
+behavior of the sudoers file.
+If the
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is not present, a value of 0 is assumed.
+.sp
+The
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is only available in
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions 1.7.5 and higher.
+.PP
+Each attribute listed above should contain a single value, but there
+may be multiple instances of each attribute type.
+A
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+must contain at least one
+\fRsudoUser\fR,
+\fRsudoHost\fR
+and
+\fRsudoCommand\fR.
+.PP
+The following example allows users in group wheel to run any command
+on any host via
+\fBsudo\fR:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+dn: cn=%wheel,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: %wheel
+sudoUser: %wheel
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.SS "Anatomy of LDAP sudoers lookup"
+When looking up a sudoer using LDAP there are only two or three
+LDAP queries per invocation.
+The first query is to parse the global options.
+The second is to match against the user's name and the groups that
+the user belongs to.
+(The special
+\fRALL\fR
+tag is matched in this query too.)
+If no match is returned for the user's name and groups, a third
+query returns all entries containing user netgroups and other
+non-Unix groups and checks to see if the user belongs to any of them.
+.PP
+If timed entries are enabled with the
+\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR
+configuration directive, the LDAP queries include a sub-filter that
+limits retrieval to entries that satisfy the time constraints, if any.
+.PP
+If the
+\fBNETGROUP_BASE\fR
+configuration directive is present (see
+\fIConfiguring ldap.conf\fR
+below), queries are performed to determine
+the list of netgroups the user belongs to before the sudoers query.
+This makes it possible to include netgroups in the sudoers query
+string in the same manner as Unix groups.
+The third query mentioned above is not performed unless a group provider
+plugin is also configured.
+The actual LDAP queries performed by
+\fBsudo\fR
+are as follows:
+.TP 5n
+1.\&
+Match all
+\fRnisNetgroup\fR
+records with a
+\fRnisNetgroupTriple\fR
+containing the user, host and NIS domain.
+The query will match
+\fRnisNetgroupTriple\fR
+entries with either the short or long form of the host name or
+no host name specified in the tuple.
+If the NIS domain is set, the query will match only match entries
+that include the domain or for which there is no domain present.
+If the NIS domain is
+\fInot\fR
+set, a wildcard is used to match any domain name but be aware that the
+NIS schema used by some LDAP servers may not support wild cards for
+\fRnisNetgroupTriple\fR.
+.TP 5n
+2.\&
+Repeated queries are performed to find any nested
+\fRnisNetgroup\fR
+records with a
+\fRmemberNisNetgroup\fR
+entry that refers to an already-matched record.
+.PP
+For sites with a large number of netgroups, using
+\fBNETGROUP_BASE\fR
+can significantly speed up
+\fBsudo\fR's
+execution time.
+.SS "Differences between LDAP and non-LDAP sudoers"
+One of the major differences between LDAP and file-based
+\fIsudoers\fR
+is that in LDAP,
+\fBsudo\fR-specific
+Aliases are not supported.
+.PP
+For the most part, there is little need for
+\fBsudo\fR-specific
+Aliases.
+Unix groups, non-Unix groups (via the
+\fIgroup_plugin\fR)
+or user netgroups can be used in place of User_Aliases and Runas_Aliases.
+Host netgroups can be used in place of Host_Aliases.
+Since groups and netgroups can also be stored in LDAP there is no real need for
+\fBsudo\fR-specific
+aliases.
+.PP
+There are also some subtle differences in the way sudoers is handled
+once in LDAP.
+Probably the biggest is that according to the RFC, LDAP ordering
+is arbitrary and you cannot expect that Attributes and Entries are
+returned in any specific order.
+.PP
+The order in which different entries are applied can be controlled
+using the
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute, but there is no way to guarantee the order of attributes
+within a specific entry.
+If there are conflicting command rules in an entry, the negative
+takes precedence.
+This is called paranoid behavior (not necessarily the most specific
+match).
+.PP
+Here is an example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+# /etc/sudoers:
+# Allow all commands except shell
+johnny ALL=(root) ALL,!/bin/sh
+# Always allows all commands because ALL is matched last
+puddles ALL=(root) !/bin/sh,ALL
+
+# LDAP equivalent of johnny
+# Allows all commands except shell
+dn: cn=role1,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: sudoRole
+objectClass: top
+cn: role1
+sudoUser: johnny
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
+
+# LDAP equivalent of puddles
+# Notice that even though ALL comes last, it still behaves like
+# role1 since the LDAP code assumes the more paranoid configuration
+dn: cn=role2,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: sudoRole
+objectClass: top
+cn: role2
+sudoUser: puddles
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
+sudoCommand: ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Another difference is that it is not possible to use negation in a
+sudoUser, sudoRunAsUser or sudoRunAsGroup attribute.
+For example, the following attributes do not behave the way one might expect.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+# does not match all but joe
+# rather, does not match anyone
+sudoUser: !joe
+
+# does not match all but joe
+# rather, matches everyone including Joe
+sudoUser: ALL
+sudoUser: !joe
+.RE
+.fi
+.SS "Converting between file-based and LDAP sudoers"
+The
+cvtsudoers(1)
+utility can be used to convert between file-based and LDAP
+\fIsudoers\fR.
+However, there are features in the file-based sudoers that have
+no equivalent in LDAP-based sudoers (and vice versa).
+These cannot be converted automatically.
+.PP
+For example, a Cmnd_Alias in a
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file may be converted to a
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+that contains multiple commands.
+Multiple users and/or groups may be assigned to the
+\fRsudoRole\fR.
+.PP
+Also, host, user, runas and command-based
+\fRDefaults\fR
+entries are not supported.
+However, a
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+may contain one or more
+\fRsudoOption\fR
+attributes which can often serve the same purpose.
+.PP
+Consider the following
+\fIsudoers\fR
+lines:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+Cmnd_Alias PAGERS = /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/pg, /usr/bin/less
+Defaults!PAGERS noexec
+alice, bob ALL = ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+In this example, alice and bob are allowed to run all commands, but
+the commands listed in PAGERS will have the noexec flag set,
+preventing shell escapes.
+.PP
+When converting this to LDAP, two sudoRole objects can be used:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+dn: cn=PAGERS,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: PAGERS
+sudoUser: alice
+sudoUser: bob
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: /usr/bin/more
+sudoCommand: /usr/bin/pg
+sudoCommand: /usr/bin/less
+sudoOption: noexec
+sudoOrder: 900
+
+dn: cn=ADMINS,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: ADMINS
+sudoUser: alice
+sudoUser: bob
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+sudoOrder: 100
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+In the LDAP version, the sudoOrder attribute is used to guarantee
+that the PAGERS sudoRole with
+\fInoexec\fR
+has precedence.
+Unlike the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+version, the LDAP version requires that all users for whom the restriction
+should apply be assigned to the PAGERS sudoRole.
+Using a Unix group or netgroup in PAGERS rather than listing each
+user would make this easier to maintain.
+.PP
+Per-user
+\fRDefaults\fR
+entries can be emulated by using one or more sudoOption attributes
+in a sudoRole.
+Consider the following
+\fIsudoers\fR
+lines:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+User_Alias ADMINS = john, sally
+Defaults:ADMINS !authenticate
+ADMINS ALL = (ALL:ALL) ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+In this example, john and sally are allowed to run any command
+as any user or group.
+.PP
+When converting this to LDAP, we can use a Unix group instead
+of the User_Alias.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+dn: cn=admins,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com

+.PP
+This assumes that users john and sally are members of the

+Unix group.
+.SS "Sudoers schema"
+In order to use
+\fBsudo\fR's
+LDAP support, the
+\fBsudo\fR
+schema must be
+installed on your LDAP server.
+In addition, be sure to index the
+\fRsudoUser\fR
+attribute.
+.PP
+The

+.SS "Configuring ldap.conf"
+Sudo reads the
+\fI@ldap_conf@\fR
