We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Overview

This module installs and configures SSSD (System Security Services Daemon)

SSSD is used to provide access to identity and authentication remote resource through a common framework that can provide caching and offline support to the system.

Documented with Puppet Strings

Usage

Example configuration:

class {'::sssd':
  config => {
    'sssd' => {
      'domains'             => 'ad.example.com',
      'config_file_version' => 2,
      'services'            => ['nss', 'pam'],
    },
    'domain/ad.example.com' => {
      'ad_domain'                      => 'ad.example.com',
      'ad_server'                      => ['server01.ad.example.com', 'server02.ad.example.com'],
      'krb5_realm'                     => 'AD.EXAMPLE.COM',
      'realmd_tags'                    => 'joined-with-samba',
      'cache_credentials'              => true,
      'id_provider'                    => 'ad',
      'krb5_store_password_if_offline' => true,
      'default_shell'                  => '/bin/bash',
      'ldap_id_mapping'                => false,
      'use_fully_qualified_names'      => false,
      'fallback_homedir'               => '/home/%d/%u',
      'access_provider'                => 'simple',
      'simple_allow_groups'            => ['admins', 'users'],
    }
  }
}

...or the same config in Hiera:

sssd::config:
  'sssd':
    'domains': 'ad.example.com'
    'config_file_version': 2
    'services':
      - 'nss'
      - 'pam'
  'domain/ad.example.com':
    'ad_domain': 'ad.example.com'
    'ad_server':
      - 'server01.ad.example.com'
      - 'server02.ad.example.com'
    'krb5_realm': 'AD.EXAMPLE.COM'
    'realmd_tags': 'joined-with-samba'
    'cache_credentials': true
    'id_provider': 'ad'
    'krb5_store_password_if_offline': true
    'default_shell': '/bin/bash'
    'ldap_id_mapping': false
    'use_fully_qualified_names': false
    'fallback_homedir': '/home/%d/%u'
    'access_provider': 'simple'
    'simple_allow_groups':
      - 'admins'
      - 'users'

Will be represented in sssd.conf like this:

[sssd]
domains = ad.example.com
config_file_version = 2
services = nss, pam

[domain/ad.example.com]
ad_domain = ad.example.com
ad_server = server01.ad.example.com, server02.ad.example.com
krb5_realm = AD.EXAMPLE.COM
realmd_tags = joined-with-samba
cache_credentials = true
id_provider = ad
krb5_store_password_if_offline = true
default_shell = /bin/bash
ldap_id_mapping = false
use_fully_qualified_names = false
fallback_homedir = /home/%d/%u
access_provider = simple
simple_allow_groups = admins, users

Tip: Using 'ad' as id_provider require you to run 'adcli join domain' on the target node. adcli join creates a computer account in the domain for the local machine, and sets up a keytab for the machine.

Example:

$ sudo adcli join ad.example.com

Or you can use a relevant module for automation.
