SSSD LDAP provider
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the configuration of LDAP
domains for
sssd
8
.
Refer to the FILE FORMAT
section of the
sssd.conf
5
manual page for detailed syntax information.
You can configure SSSD to use more than one LDAP domain.
LDAP back end supports id, auth, access and chpass providers. If you want
to authenticate against an LDAP server either TLS/SSL or LDAPS
is required. sssd does
not support authentication over an unencrypted channel.
Even if the LDAP server is used only as an identity provider, an encrypted
channel is strongly recommended. Please refer to
ldap_access_filter
config option for more information
about using LDAP as an access provider.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
All of the common configuration options that apply to SSSD domains also apply
to LDAP domains. Refer to the DOMAIN SECTIONS
section of the
sssd.conf
5
manual page for full details.
Note that SSSD LDAP mapping attributes are described in the
sssd-ldap-attributes
5
manual page.
ldap_uri, ldap_backup_uri (string)
Specifies the comma-separated list of URIs of the LDAP servers to which
SSSD should connect in the order of preference. Refer to the
FAILOVER
section for more information on failover and server redundancy.
If neither option is specified, service discovery is enabled. For more information,
refer to the SERVICE DISCOVERY
section.
The format of the URI must match the format defined in RFC 2732:
ldap[s]://<host>[:port]
For explicit IPv6 addresses, <host> must be enclosed in brackets []
example: ldap://[fc00::126:25]:389
ldap_chpass_uri, ldap_chpass_backup_uri (string)
Specifies the comma-separated list of URIs of the LDAP servers to
which SSSD should connect in the order of preference
to change the password of a user. Refer to the
FAILOVER
section for more information
on failover and server redundancy.
To enable service discovery
ldap_chpass_dns_service_name must be set.
Default: empty, i.e. ldap_uri is used.
ldap_search_base (string)
The default base DN to use for
performing LDAP user operations.
Starting with SSSD 1.7.0, SSSD supports multiple
search bases using the syntax:
search_base[?scope?[filter][?search_base?scope?[filter]]*]
The scope can be one of "base", "onelevel" or "subtree".
The filter must be a valid LDAP search filter as
specified by http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt
Examples:
ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
(which is equivalent to)
ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com?subtree?
ldap_search_base = cn=host_specific,dc=example,dc=com?subtree?(host=thishost)?dc=example.com?subtree?
Note: It is unsupported to have multiple search
bases which reference identically-named objects
(for example, groups with the same name in two
different search bases). This will lead to
unpredictable behavior on client machines.
Default: If not set, the value of the
defaultNamingContext or namingContexts attribute
from the RootDSE of the LDAP server is
used. If defaultNamingContext does not exist or
has an empty value namingContexts is used.
The namingContexts attribute must have a
single value with the DN of the search base of the
LDAP server to make this work. Multiple values are
are not supported.
ldap_schema (string)
Specifies the Schema Type in use on the target LDAP
server.
Depending on the selected schema, the default
attribute names retrieved from the servers may vary.
The way that some attributes are handled may also differ.
Four schema types are currently supported:
rfc2307
rfc2307bis
IPA
AD
The main difference between these schema types is
how group memberships are recorded in the server.
With rfc2307, group members are listed by name in the
memberUid attribute.
With rfc2307bis and IPA, group members are listed by DN
and stored in the member attribute.
The AD schema type sets the attributes to correspond with
Active Directory 2008r2 values.
Default: rfc2307
ldap_pwmodify_mode (string)
Specify the operation that is used to modify user
password.
Two modes are currently supported:
exop - Password Modify Extended
Operation (RFC 3062)
ldap_modify - Direct modification of
userPassword (not recommended).
Note: First, a new connection is established to
verify current password by binding as the user
that requested password change. If successful,
this connection is used to change the password
therefore the user must have write access to
userPassword attribute.
Default: exop
ldap_default_bind_dn (string)
The default bind DN to use for
performing LDAP operations.
ldap_default_authtok_type (string)
The type of the authentication token of the
default bind DN.
The two mechanisms currently supported are:
password
obfuscated_password
Default: password
See the
sss_obfuscate
8
manual page for more information.
ldap_default_authtok (string)
The authentication token of the default bind DN.
ldap_force_upper_case_realm (boolean)
Some directory servers, for example Active Directory,
might deliver the realm part of the UPN in lower case,
which might cause the authentication to fail. Set this
option to a non-zero value if you want to use an
upper-case realm.
Default: false
ldap_enumeration_refresh_timeout (integer)
Specifies how many seconds SSSD has to wait
before refreshing its cache of enumerated
records.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 300
ldap_purge_cache_timeout (integer)
Determine how often to check the cache for
inactive entries (such as groups with no
members and users who have never logged in) and
remove them to save space.
Setting this option to zero will disable the
cache cleanup operation. Please note that if
enumeration is enabled, the cleanup task is
required in order to detect entries removed from
the server and can't be disabled. By default,
the cleanup task will run every 3 hours with
enumeration enabled.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 0 (disabled)
ldap_group_nesting_level (integer)
If ldap_schema is set to a schema format that
supports nested groups (e.g. RFC2307bis), then
this option controls how many levels of nesting
SSSD will follow. This option has no effect on the
RFC2307 schema.
Note: This option specifies the guaranteed level of
nested groups to be processed for any lookup. However,
nested groups beyond this limit
may be returned if previous
lookups already resolved the deeper nesting levels.
Also, subsequent lookups for other groups may enlarge
the result set for original lookup if re-queried.
If ldap_group_nesting_level is set to 0 then no
nested groups are processed at all. However, when
connected to Active-Directory Server 2008
and later using id_provider=ad
it is furthermore required to disable usage of
Token-Groups by setting ldap_use_tokengroups
to false in order to restrict group nesting.
Default: 2
ldap_use_tokengroups
This options enables or disables use of Token-Groups
attribute when performing initgroup for users from
Active Directory Server 2008 and later.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: True for AD and IPA otherwise False.
ldap_host_search_base (string)
Optional. Use the given string as search base for
host objects.
See ldap_search_base
for
information about configuring multiple search
bases.
Default: the value of
ldap_search_base
ldap_service_search_base (string)
ldap_iphost_search_base (string)
ldap_ipnetwork_search_base (string)
ldap_search_timeout (integer)
Specifies the timeout (in seconds) that ldap
searches are allowed to run before they are
cancelled and cached results are returned (and
offline mode is entered)
Note: this option is subject to change in future
versions of the SSSD. It will likely be replaced at
some point by a series of timeouts for specific
lookup types.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 6
ldap_enumeration_search_timeout (integer)
Specifies the timeout (in seconds) that ldap
searches for user and group enumerations
are allowed to run before they are cancelled and
cached results are returned (and offline mode is
entered)
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 60
ldap_network_timeout (integer)
Specifies the timeout (in seconds) after which
the
poll
2
/
select
2
following a
connect
2
returns in case of no activity.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 6
ldap_opt_timeout (integer)
Specifies a timeout (in seconds) after which
calls to synchronous LDAP APIs will abort if no
response is received. Also controls the timeout
when communicating with the KDC in case of SASL
bind, the timeout of an LDAP bind operation,
password change extended operation and the
StartTLS operation.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 8
ldap_connection_expire_timeout (integer)
Specifies a timeout (in seconds) that a connection
to an LDAP server will be maintained. After this
time, the connection will be re-established. If
used in parallel with SASL/GSSAPI, the sooner of
the two values (this value vs. the TGT lifetime)
will be used.
If the connection is idle (not actively running an
operation) within
ldap_opt_timeout seconds of
expiration, then it will be closed early to ensure
that a new query cannot require the connection to
remain open past its expiration. This implies that
connections will always be closed immediately and
will never be reused if
ldap_connection_expire_timeout <=
ldap_opt_timout
This timeout can be extended of a random
value specified by
ldap_connection_expire_offset
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 900 (15 minutes)
ldap_connection_expire_offset (integer)
Random offset between 0 and configured value
is added to
ldap_connection_expire_timeout.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 0
ldap_connection_idle_timeout (integer)
Specifies a timeout (in seconds) that an idle
connection to an LDAP server will be maintained.
If the connection is idle for more than this time
then the connection will be closed.
You can disable this timeout by setting the value to
0.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 900 (15 minutes)
ldap_page_size (integer)
Specify the number of records to retrieve from
LDAP in a single request. Some LDAP servers
enforce a maximum limit per-request.
Default: 1000
ldap_disable_paging (boolean)
Disable the LDAP paging control. This option
should be used if the LDAP server reports that it
supports the LDAP paging control in its RootDSE
but it is not enabled or does not behave properly.
Example: OpenLDAP servers with the paging control
module installed on the server but not enabled
will report it in the RootDSE but be unable to use
it.
Example: 389 DS has a bug where it can only
support a one paging control at a time on a single
connection. On busy clients, this can result in
some requests being denied.
Default: False
ldap_disable_range_retrieval (boolean)
Disable Active Directory range retrieval.
Active Directory limits the number of members to be
retrieved in a single lookup using the MaxValRange
policy (which defaults to 1500 members). If a group
contains more members, the reply would include an
AD-specific range extension. This option disables
parsing of the range extension, therefore large
groups will appear as having no members.
Default: False
ldap_sasl_minssf (integer)
When communicating with an LDAP server using SASL,
specify the minimum security level necessary to
establish the connection. The values of this
option are defined by OpenLDAP.
Default: Use the system default (usually specified
by ldap.conf)
ldap_sasl_maxssf (integer)
When communicating with an LDAP server using SASL,
specify the maximal security level necessary to
establish the connection. The values of this
option are defined by OpenLDAP.
Default: Use the system default (usually specified
by ldap.conf)
ldap_deref_threshold (integer)
Specify the number of group members that must be
missing from the internal cache in order to trigger
a dereference lookup. If less members are missing,
they are looked up individually.
You can turn off dereference lookups completely
by setting the value to 0. Please note that
there are some codepaths in SSSD, like the IPA
HBAC provider, that are only implemented using
the dereference call, so even with dereference
explicitly disabled, those parts will still
use dereference if the server supports it
and advertises the dereference control in the
rootDSE object.
A dereference lookup is a means of fetching all
group members in a single LDAP call.
Different LDAP servers may implement different
dereference methods. The currently supported
servers are 389/RHDS, OpenLDAP and Active
Directory.
Note:
If any of the search bases specifies a search
filter, then the dereference lookup performance
enhancement will be disabled regardless of this
setting.
Default: 10
ldap_ignore_unreadable_references (bool)
Ignore unreadable LDAP entries referenced in
group's member attribute. If this parameter is set
to false an error will be returned and the
operation will fail instead of just ignoring the
unreadable entry.
This parameter may be useful when using the AD
provider and the computer account that sssd uses
to connect to AD does not have access to a
particular entry or LDAP sub-tree for security
reasons.
Default: False
ldap_tls_reqcert (string)
Specifies what checks to perform on server
certificates in a TLS session, if any. It
can be specified as one of the following
values:
never = The client will
not request or check any server certificate.
allow = The server
certificate is requested. If no certificate is
provided, the session proceeds normally. If a
bad certificate is provided, it will be ignored
and the session proceeds normally.
try = The server certificate
is requested. If no certificate is provided, the
session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate
is provided, the session is immediately terminated.
demand = The server
certificate is requested. If no certificate
is provided, or a bad certificate is provided,
the session is immediately terminated.
hard = Same as
demand
Default: hard
ldap_tls_cacert (string)
Specifies the file that contains certificates for
all of the Certificate Authorities that
sssd will recognize.
Default: use OpenLDAP defaults, typically in
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
ldap_tls_cacertdir (string)
Specifies the path of a directory that contains
Certificate Authority certificates in separate
individual files. Typically the file names need to
be the hash of the certificate followed by '.0'.
If available, cacertdir_rehash
can be used to create the correct names.
Default: use OpenLDAP defaults, typically in
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
ldap_tls_cert (string)
Specifies the file that contains the certificate
for the client's key.
Default: not set
ldap_tls_key (string)
Specifies the file that contains the client's key.
Default: not set
ldap_tls_cipher_suite (string)
Specifies acceptable cipher suites. Typically this
is a colon separated list. See
ldap.conf
5 for format.
Default: use OpenLDAP defaults, typically in
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
ldap_id_use_start_tls (boolean)
Specifies that the id_provider connection must also
use tls to protect the channel.
true is strongly recommended for security reasons.
Default: false
ldap_id_mapping (boolean)
Specifies that SSSD should attempt to map user and
group IDs from the ldap_user_objectsid and
ldap_group_objectsid attributes instead of relying
on ldap_user_uid_number and ldap_group_gid_number.
Currently this feature supports only
ActiveDirectory objectSID mapping.
Default: false
ldap_min_id, ldap_max_id (integer)
In contrast to the SID based ID mapping which is
used if ldap_id_mapping is set to true the allowed
ID range for ldap_user_uid_number and
ldap_group_gid_number is unbound. In a setup with
sub/trusted-domains this might lead to ID
collisions. To avoid collisions ldap_min_id and
ldap_max_id can be set to restrict the allowed
range for the IDs which are read directly from the
server. Sub-domains can then pick other ranges to
map IDs.
Default: not set (both options are set to 0)
ldap_sasl_mech (string)
Specify the SASL mechanism to use. Currently only
GSSAPI and GSS-SPNEGO are tested and supported.
If the backend supports sub-domains the value of
ldap_sasl_mech is automatically inherited to the
sub-domains. If a different value is needed for a
sub-domain it can be overwritten by setting
ldap_sasl_mech for this sub-domain explicitly.
Please see TRUSTED DOMAIN SECTION in
sssd.conf
5 for details.
Default: not set
ldap_sasl_authid (string)
Specify the SASL authorization id to use. When
GSSAPI/GSS-SPNEGO are used, this represents the
Kerberos principal used for authentication to the
directory. This option can either contain the full
principal (for example host/myhost@EXAMPLE.COM) or
just the principal name (for example host/myhost).
By default, the value is not set and the following
principals are used:
hostname@REALM
netbiosname$@REALM
host/hostname@REALM
*$@REALM
host/*@REALM
host/*
If none of them are found, the first principal in keytab is
returned.
Default: host/hostname@REALM
ldap_sasl_realm (string)
Specify the SASL realm to use. When not specified,
this option defaults to the value of krb5_realm.
If the ldap_sasl_authid contains the realm as well,
this option is ignored.
Default: the value of krb5_realm.
ldap_sasl_canonicalize (boolean)
If set to true, the LDAP library would perform
a reverse lookup to canonicalize the host name
during a SASL bind.
Default: false;
ldap_krb5_keytab (string)
Specify the keytab to use when using
SASL/GSSAPI/GSS-SPNEGO.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: System keytab, normally /etc/krb5.keytab
ldap_krb5_init_creds (boolean)
Specifies that the id_provider should init
Kerberos credentials (TGT).
This action is performed only if SASL is used and
the mechanism selected is GSSAPI or GSS-SPNEGO.
Default: true
ldap_krb5_ticket_lifetime (integer)
Specifies the lifetime in seconds of the TGT if
GSSAPI or GSS-SPNEGO is used.
This option can be also set per subdomain or
inherited via
subdomain_inherit.
Default: 86400 (24 hours)
krb5_server, krb5_backup_server (string)
Specifies the comma-separated list of IP addresses or hostnames
of the Kerberos servers to which SSSD should
connect in the order of preference. For more
information on failover and server redundancy,
see the FAILOVER
section. An optional
port number (preceded by a colon) may be appended to
the addresses or hostnames.
If empty, service discovery is enabled -
for more information, refer to the
SERVICE DISCOVERY
section.
When using service discovery for KDC or kpasswd servers,
SSSD first searches for DNS entries that specify _udp as
the protocol and falls back to _tcp if none are found.
This option was named krb5_kdcip
in
earlier releases of SSSD. While the legacy name is recognized
for the time being, users are advised to migrate their config
files to use krb5_server
instead.
krb5_realm (string)
Specify the Kerberos REALM (for
SASL/GSSAPI/GSS-SPNEGO auth).
Default: System defaults, see /etc/krb5.conf
krb5_canonicalize (boolean)
Specifies if the host principal should be canonicalized
when connecting to LDAP server. This feature is
available with MIT Kerberos >= 1.7
Default: false
krb5_use_kdcinfo (boolean)
Specifies if the SSSD should instruct the Kerberos
libraries what realm and which KDCs to use. This option
is on by default, if you disable it, you need to configure
the Kerberos library using the
krb5.conf
5
configuration file.
See the
sssd_krb5_locator_plugin
8
manual page for more information on the locator plugin.
Default: true
ldap_pwd_policy (string)
Select the policy to evaluate the password
expiration on the client side. The following values
are allowed:
none - No evaluation on the
client side. This option cannot disable server-side
password policies.
shadow - Use
shadow
5 style
attributes to evaluate if the password has expired.
Please see option "ldap_chpass_update_last_change"
as well.
mit_kerberos - Use the attributes
used by MIT Kerberos to determine if the password has
expired. Use chpass_provider=krb5 to update these
attributes when the password is changed.
Default: none
Note: if a password policy
is configured on server side, it always takes
precedence over policy set with this option.
ldap_referrals (boolean)
Specifies whether automatic referral chasing should
be enabled.
Please note that sssd only supports referral chasing
when it is compiled with OpenLDAP version 2.4.13 or
higher.
Chasing referrals may incur a performance penalty
in environments that use them heavily, a notable
example is Microsoft Active Directory. If
your setup does not in fact require the use
of referrals, setting this option to false
might bring a noticeable performance improvement.
Setting this option to false is therefore recommended
in case the SSSD LDAP provider is used together with
Microsoft Active Directory as a backend. Even if SSSD
would be able to follow the referral to a different AD
DC no additional data would be available.
Default: true
ldap_dns_service_name (string)
Specifies the service name to use when service
discovery is enabled.
Default: ldap
ldap_chpass_dns_service_name (string)
Specifies the service name to use to find an LDAP
server which allows password changes when service
discovery is enabled.
Default: not set, i.e. service discovery is disabled
ldap_chpass_update_last_change (bool)
Specifies whether to update the
ldap_user_shadow_last_change attribute with
days since the Epoch after a password change
operation.
It is recommend to set this option explicitly if
"ldap_pwd_policy = shadow" is used to let SSSD
know if the LDAP server will update
shadowLastChange LDAP attribute automatically
after a password change or if SSSD has to update
it.
Default: False
ldap_access_filter (string)
If using access_provider = ldap and
ldap_access_order = filter (default), this option is
mandatory. It specifies an LDAP search filter
criteria that must be met for the user to be
granted access on this host. If
access_provider = ldap, ldap_access_order = filter
and this option is not set, it will result in all
users being denied access.
Use access_provider = permit to change this default
behavior. Please note that this filter is applied on
the LDAP user entry only and thus filtering based
on nested groups may not work (e.g. memberOf
attribute on AD entries points only to direct
parents). If filtering based on nested groups
is required, please see
sssd-simple5
.
Example:
access_provider = ldap
ldap_access_filter = (employeeType=admin)
This example means that access to this host is
restricted to users whose employeeType
attribute is set to "admin".
Offline caching for this feature is limited to
determining whether the user's last online login
was granted access permission. If they were
granted access during their last login, they will
continue to be granted access while offline and
vice versa.
Default: Empty
ldap_account_expire_policy (string)
With this option a client side evaluation of
access control attributes can be enabled.
Please note that it is always recommended to
use server side access control, i.e. the LDAP
server should deny the bind request with a
suitable error code even if the password is
correct.
The following values are allowed:
shadow: use the value of
ldap_user_shadow_expire to determine if the account
is expired.
ad: use the value of the 32bit
field ldap_user_ad_user_account_control and allow
access if the second bit is not set. If the
attribute is missing access is granted. Also the
expiration time of the account is checked.
rhds, ipa,
389ds:
use the value of ldap_ns_account_lock to check if
access is allowed or not.
nds: the values of
ldap_user_nds_login_allowed_time_map,
ldap_user_nds_login_disabled and
ldap_user_nds_login_expiration_time are used to
check if access is allowed. If both attributes are
missing access is granted.
Please note that the ldap_access_order
configuration option must
include expire
in order for the
ldap_account_expire_policy option
to work.
Default: Empty
ldap_access_order (string)
Comma separated list of access control options.
Allowed values are:
filter: use ldap_access_filter
lockout: use account locking.
If set, this option denies access in case that ldap
attribute 'pwdAccountLockedTime' is present and has
value of '000001010000Z'. Please see the option
ldap_pwdlockout_dn.
Please note that 'access_provider = ldap' must
be set for this feature to work.
Please note that this option is superseded by
the ppolicy
option and might be
removed in a future release.
ppolicy: use account locking.
If set, this option denies access in case that ldap
attribute 'pwdAccountLockedTime' is present and has
value of '000001010000Z' or represents any time in the past.
The value of the 'pwdAccountLockedTime' attribute
must end with 'Z', which denotes the UTC time zone.
Other time zones are not currently supported and
will result in "access-denied" when users attempt
to log in.
Please see the option ldap_pwdlockout_dn.
Please note that 'access_provider = ldap' must
be set for this feature to work.
expire: use
ldap_account_expire_policy
pwd_expire_policy_reject,
pwd_expire_policy_warn,
pwd_expire_policy_renew:
These options are useful if users are interested
in being warned that password is about to expire
and authentication is based on using a different
method than passwords - for example SSH keys.
The difference between these options is the action
taken if user password is expired:
pwd_expire_policy_reject -
user is denied to log in,
pwd_expire_policy_warn -
user is still able to log in,
pwd_expire_policy_renew -
user is prompted to change their
password immediately.
Please note that 'access_provider = ldap' must
be set for this feature to work. Also 'ldap_pwd_policy'
must be set to an appropriate password policy.
authorized_service: use
the authorizedService attribute to determine
access
host: use the host attribute
to determine access
rhost: use the rhost attribute
to determine whether remote host can access
Please note, rhost field in pam is set by application,
it is better to check what the application sends to
pam, before enabling this access control option
Default: filter
Please note that it is a configuration error if a
value is used more than once.
ldap_pwdlockout_dn (string)
This option specifies the DN of password policy entry
on LDAP server. Please note that absence of this
option in sssd.conf in case of enabled account
lockout checking will yield access denied as
ppolicy attributes on LDAP server cannot be checked
properly.
Example: cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com
Default: cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,$ldap_search_base
ldap_deref (string)
Specifies how alias dereferencing is done when
performing a search. The following options are
allowed:
never: Aliases are never
dereferenced.
searching: Aliases are
dereferenced in subordinates of the base object,
but not in locating the base object of the search.
finding: Aliases are only
dereferenced when locating the base object of the
search.
always: Aliases are
dereferenced both in searching and in locating the
base object of the search.
Default: Empty (this is handled as
never by the LDAP client
libraries)
ldap_rfc2307_fallback_to_local_users (boolean)
Allows to retain local users as members of an LDAP
group for servers that use the RFC2307 schema.
In some environments where the RFC2307 schema is
used, local users are made members of LDAP groups
by adding their names to the memberUid attribute.
The self-consistency of the domain is compromised
when this is done, so SSSD would normally remove
the "missing" users from the cached group
memberships as soon as nsswitch tries to fetch
information about the user via getpw*() or
initgroups() calls.
This option falls back to checking if local users
are referenced, and caches them so that later
initgroups() calls will augment the local users
with the additional LDAP groups.
Default: false
wildcard_limit (integer)
Specifies an upper limit on the number of entries
that are downloaded during a wildcard lookup.
At the moment, only the InfoPipe responder supports
wildcard lookups.
Default: 1000 (often the size of one page)
ldap_library_debug_level (integer)
Switches on libldap debugging with the given level.
The libldap debug messages will be written
independent of the general debug_level.
OpenLDAP uses a bitmap to enable debugging for
specific components, -1 will enable full debug
output.
Default: 0 (libldap debugging disabled)
SUDO OPTIONS
The detailed instructions for configuration of sudo_provider
are in the manual page
sssd-sudo
5
.
ldap_sudo_full_refresh_interval (integer)
How many seconds SSSD will wait between executing
a full refresh of sudo rules (which downloads all
rules that are stored on the server).
The value must be greater than
ldap_sudo_smart_refresh_interval
You can disable full refresh by setting this option
to 0. However, either smart or full refresh must
be enabled.
Default: 21600 (6 hours)
ldap_sudo_smart_refresh_interval (integer)
How many seconds SSSD has to wait before executing
a smart refresh of sudo rules (which downloads all
rules that have USN higher than the highest server
USN value that is currently known by SSSD).
If USN attributes are not supported by the server,
the modifyTimestamp attribute is used instead.
Note: the highest USN value
can be updated by three tasks:
1) By sudo full and smart refresh (if updated rules
are found),
2) by enumeration of users and groups (if enabled
and updated users or groups are found) and
3) by reconnecting to the server
(by default every 15 minutes, see
ldap_connection_expire_timeout).
You can disable smart refresh by setting this option
to 0. However, either smart or full refresh must
be enabled.
Default: 900 (15 minutes)
ldap_sudo_random_offset (integer)
Random offset between 0 and configured value is
added to smart and full refresh periods each time
the periodic task is scheduled. The value is in
seconds.
Note that this random offset is also applied on the
first SSSD start which delays the first sudo rules
refresh. This prolongs the time when the sudo rules
are not available for use.
You can disable this offset by setting the value to
0.
Default: 0 (disabled)
ldap_sudo_use_host_filter (boolean)
If true, SSSD will download only rules that are
applicable to this machine (using the IPv4 or IPv6
host/network addresses and hostnames).
Default: true
ldap_sudo_hostnames (string)
Space separated list of hostnames or fully qualified
domain names that should be used to filter
the rules.
If this option is empty, SSSD will try to discover
the hostname and the fully qualified domain name
automatically.
If ldap_sudo_use_host_filter
is false then this option
has no effect.
Default: not specified
ldap_sudo_ip (string)
Space separated list of IPv4 or IPv6
host/network addresses that should be used to filter
the rules.
If this option is empty, SSSD will try to
discover the addresses automatically.
If ldap_sudo_use_host_filter
is false then this option
has no effect.
Default: not specified
ldap_sudo_include_netgroups (boolean)
If true then SSSD will download every rule that
contains a netgroup in sudoHost attribute.
If ldap_sudo_use_host_filter
is false then this option
has no effect.
Default: true
ldap_sudo_include_regexp (boolean)
If true then SSSD will download every rule that
contains a wildcard in sudoHost attribute.
If ldap_sudo_use_host_filter
is false then this option
has no effect.
Using wildcard is an operation that is very
costly to evaluate on the LDAP server side!
Default: false
This manual page only describes attribute name mapping.

AUTOFS OPTIONS
Some of the defaults for the parameters below are dependent on the
LDAP schema.
ldap_autofs_map_master_name (string)
The name of the automount master map in LDAP.
Default: auto.master
ADVANCED OPTIONS
These options are supported by LDAP domains, but they should be used
with caution. Please include them in your configuration only if you
know what you are doing.
ldap_netgroup_search_base (string)
ldap_user_search_base (string)
ldap_group_search_base (string)
If the option ldap_use_tokengroups
is
enabled, the searches against Active Directory will
not be restricted and return all groups memberships,
even with no GID mapping. It is recommended to disable
this feature, if group names are not being displayed
correctly.
ldap_sudo_search_base (string)
ldap_autofs_search_base (string)
EXAMPLE
The following example assumes that SSSD is correctly
configured and LDAP is set to one of the domains in the
[domains] section.
[domain/LDAP]
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://ldap.mydomain.org
ldap_search_base = dc=mydomain,dc=org
ldap_tls_reqcert = demand
cache_credentials = true
LDAP ACCESS FILTER EXAMPLE
The following example assumes that SSSD is correctly
configured and to use the ldap_access_order=lockout.
[domain/LDAP]
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
access_provider = ldap
ldap_access_order = lockout
ldap_pwdlockout_dn = cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=mydomain,dc=org
ldap_uri = ldap://ldap.mydomain.org
ldap_search_base = dc=mydomain,dc=org
ldap_tls_reqcert = demand
cache_credentials = true
