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.
If the LDAP server is used only as an identity provider, an encrypted
channel is not needed. 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.
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_default_bind_dn (string)
The default bind DN to use for
performing LDAP operations.
ldap_default_authtok_type (string)

ldap_user_ssh_public_key (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the user's SSH
public keys.
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.
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.
Default: 10800 (12 hours)
ldap_user_fullname (string)
The LDAP attribute that corresponds to the
user's full name.
Default: cn
ldap_user_member_of (string)
The LDAP attribute that lists the user's
group memberships.
Default: memberOf
ldap_user_authorized_service (string)
If access_provider=ldap and
ldap_access_order=authorized_service, SSSD will
use the presence of the authorizedService
attribute in the user's LDAP entry to determine
access privilege.
An explicit deny (!svc) is resolved first. Second,
SSSD searches for explicit allow (svc) and finally
for allow_all (*).
Please note that the ldap_access_order
configuration option must include
authorized_service
in order for the
ldap_user_authorized_service option
to work.
Default: authorizedService
ldap_user_authorized_host (string)
If access_provider=ldap and
ldap_access_order=host, SSSD will use the presence
of the host attribute in the user's LDAP entry to
determine access privilege.
An explicit deny (!host) is resolved first. Second,
SSSD searches for explicit allow (host) and finally
for allow_all (*).
Please note that the ldap_access_order
configuration option must
include host
in order for the
ldap_user_authorized_host option
to work.
Default: host
ldap_group_object_class (string)
The object class of a group entry in LDAP.
Default: posixGroup
ldap_group_name (string)
The LDAP attribute that corresponds to
the group name.
Default: cn
ldap_group_gid_number (string)
The LDAP attribute that corresponds to the
group's id.
Default: gidNumber
ldap_group_member (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the names of
the group's members.
Default: memberuid (rfc2307) / member (rfc2307bis)
ldap_group_uuid (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the UUID/GUID of
an LDAP group object.
Default: nsUniqueId
ldap_group_objectsid (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the objectSID of
an LDAP group object. This is usually only
necessary for ActiveDirectory servers.
Default: objectSid for ActiveDirectory, not set
for other servers.
ldap_group_modify_timestamp (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains timestamp of the
last modification of the parent object.
Default: modifyTimestamp
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.
Default: 2
ldap_groups_use_matching_rule_in_chain
This option tells SSSD to take advantage of an
Active Directory-specific feature which may speed
up group lookup operations on deployments with
complex or deep nested groups.
In most common cases, it is best to leave this
option disabled. It generally only provides a
performance increase on very complex nestings.
If this option is enabled, SSSD will use it if it
detects that the server supports it during initial
connection. So "True" here essentially means
"auto-detect".
Note: This feature is currently known to work only
with Active Directory 2008 R1 and later. See
MSDN(TM) documentation for more details.
Default: False
ldap_initgroups_use_matching_rule_in_chain
This option tells SSSD to take advantage of an
Active Directory-specific feature which might speed
up initgroups operations (most notably when
dealing with complex or deep nested groups).
If this option is enabled, SSSD will use it if it
detects that the server supports it during initial
connection. So "True" here essentially means
"auto-detect".
Note: This feature is currently known to work only
with Active Directory 2008 R1 and later. See
MSDN(TM) documentation for more details.
Default: False
ldap_netgroup_object_class (string)
The object class of a netgroup entry in LDAP.
In IPA provider, ipa_netgroup_object_class should
be used instead.
Default: nisNetgroup
ldap_netgroup_name (string)
The LDAP attribute that corresponds to
the netgroup name.
In IPA provider, ipa_netgroup_name should
be used instead.
Default: cn
ldap_netgroup_member (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the names of
the netgroup's members.
In IPA provider, ipa_netgroup_member should
be used instead.
Default: memberNisNetgroup
ldap_netgroup_triple (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the (host, user,
domain) netgroup triples.
This option is not available in IPA provider.
Default: nisNetgroupTriple
ldap_netgroup_uuid (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the UUID/GUID of
an LDAP netgroup object.
In IPA provider, ipa_netgroup_uuid should
be used instead.
Default: nsUniqueId
ldap_netgroup_modify_timestamp (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains timestamp of the
last modification of the parent object.
This option is not available in IPA provider.
Default: modifyTimestamp
ldap_service_object_class (string)
The object class of a service entry in LDAP.
Default: ipService
ldap_service_name (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the name of
service attributes and their aliases.
Default: cn
ldap_service_port (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the port managed
by this service.
Default: ipServicePort
ldap_service_proto (string)
The LDAP attribute that contains the protocols
understood by this service.
Default: ipServiceProtocol
ldap_service_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.
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)
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.
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.
Default: 6
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.
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_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.
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_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 sperated 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.
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 (interger)
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 is tested and supported.
Default: not set
ldap_sasl_authid (string)
Specify the SASL authorization id to use.
When GSSAPI is 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).
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.
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.
Default: true
ldap_krb5_ticket_lifetime (integer)
Specifies the lifetime in seconds of the TGT if
GSSAPI is used.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Example:
access_provider = ldap
ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=allowedusers,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
This example means that access to this host is
restricted to members of the "allowedusers" group
in ldap.
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
expire: use
ldap_account_expire_policy
authorized_service: use
the authorizedService attribute to determine
access
host: use the host attribute
to determine access
Default: filter
Please note that it is a configuration error if a
value is used more than once.
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.

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
