Very Quick Guide to build sssd components ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use the following instructions to build the libraries and the binaries. External library requirements: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sssd depends on 4 libraries originated in the samba project: talloc, tdb, tevent, ldb They are now available in major distribution development branches. If you want to build them from source download the latest samba master branch. Additionally the ding-libs are needed. These used to be included in the sssd release but are now a separate project. The lastest ding-libs release can be downloaded from https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/Releases#DING-LIBSReleases . To install all of the dependencies in Fedora before building sssd: yum install openldap-devel gettext libtool pcre-devel c-ares-devel \ dbus-devel libxslt-devel docbook-style-xsl krb5-devel \ docbook-style-xsl libxml2 pam-devel nss-devel libtevent \ libtevent-devel libtdb libtdb-devel libtalloc libtalloc-devel \ libldb libldb-devel cvs popt-devel c-ares-devel ding-libs are available in Fedora 14 and later version: yum install libcollection-devel libdhash-devel libini_config-devel \ libpath_utils-devel libref_array-devel How to build: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the root of the source, run: autoreconf -i -f && \ ./configure && \ make Optionally, parallel builds are possible with: autoreconf -i -f && \ mkdir parallelbuilddir && cd parallelbuilddir && \ ../configure && \ make Now you have to copy libnss_sss* into /lib (or /lib64) and add the 'sss' target to nsswitch.conf passwd database For pam copy pam_sss.so into /lib/security (or /lib64/security) and add pam_sss.so to your pam configuration. To use the pam_test_client from sss_client create the following file: /etc/pam.d/sss_test: auth required pam_sss.so account required pam_sss.so password required pam_sss.so session required pam_sss.so Now you can call pam_test_client: ./pam_test_client [auth|chau|acct|setc|open|clos] username@domain ~~~~~ Simo and Steve (Last updated for 1.4.1)
