nwaller/sssd — version 0.2.0 Jul 21st 2013

sssd

This is a Puppet module that installs, configures, and manages the SSSD service.

Module Description

This SSSD module is compatible with distributions based on RedHat Enterprise Linux. It works best with Active Directory LDAP domains.

Quick Start

I just want to login with my network username. What's the minimum I need?

class { 'sssd':
  domains              => [ 'mydomain.local' ],
}
sssd::domain { 'mydomain.local':
  ldap_uri             => 'ldap://mydomain.local',
  ldap_search_base     => 'DC=mydomain,DC=local',
  krb5_realm           => 'MYDOMAIN.LOCAL',
  ldap_default_bind_dn => 'CN=SssdService,DC=mydomain,DC=local',
  ldap_default_authtok => 'My ultra-secret password',
  simple_allow_groups  => 'SssdAdmins',
}

Usage

Different attribute schema

Most LDAP servers use standard attribute names defined in rfc2307. This includes Windows Server since 2003 R2. If your directory uses a non-standard schema for posix accounts, you will need to define a custom attribute mapping.

sssd::domain { 'mydomain.local':
  ...
  ldap_user_object_class   => 'user',
  ldap_user_name           => 'sAMAccountName',
  ldap_user_principal      => 'userPrincipalName',
  ldap_user_gecos          => 'MSSFU2x-gecos',
  ldap_user_shell          => 'MSSFU2x-loginShell',
  ldap_user_uid_number     => 'MSSFU2x-uidNumber',
  ldap_user_gid_number     => 'MSSFU2x-gidNumber',
  ldap_user_home_directory => 'msSFUHomeDirectory',
  ldap_group_gid_number    => 'MSSFU2x-gidNumber',
}

Managing sudo access

This is an optional helper class for defining system groups that are allowed to use sudo. If you have more specific needs, you might want to use a real sudo module instead.

class { 'sssd::sudo':
  sudo_groups => 'SssdAdmins',
}

Automatically create home directories

Allow home directories to be created automatically on first logon. This is very useful when authenticating against a directory!

class { 'sssd::homedir': }

Authenticate against multiple domains

Declare a second sssd::domain resource. And ALSO modify the domains parameter for the sssd class.

Limitations

This module has been built on and tested against Puppet 2.6.18.

This module has been tested on Scientific Linux 6.3.
