NAME

       sssd-ldap - the configuration file for SSSD

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.

       If you want to authenticate against an LDAP server then TLS/SSL is
       required.  sssd does not support authentication over an unencrypted
       channel. If the LDAP server is used only as an identify provider, an
       encrypted channel is not needed.

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 (string)
           Specifies the 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 not
           specified, service discovery is enabled. For more information,
           refer to the "SERVICE DISCOVERY" section.

       ldap_search_base (string)
           The default base DN to use for performing LDAP user operations.

       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. Two schema types are currently
           supported: rfc2307 rfc2307bis The main difference between these two
           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, group members are listed by DN and
           stored in the member attribute.

           Default: rfc2307

       ldap_default_bind_dn (string)
           The default bind DN to use for performing LDAP operations.

           The authentication token of the default bind DN. Only clear text
           passwords are currently supported.

       ldap_user_search_base (string)
           An optional base DN to restrict user searches to a specific

           Name (UPN).

           Default: krbPrincipalName

       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

           Default: nsUniqueId

       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)

           Default: 5 (When enumerate = False)

           Default: 30 (When enumerate = True - this option will be forced to
           a minumum of 30s in this case)

           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.

       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: 5

       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: 5

       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_id_use_start_tls (boolean)
           Specifies that the id_provider connection must also use tls to
           protect the channel.

           Default: false

       ldap_sasl_mech (string)
           Specify the SASL mechanism to use. Currently only GSSAPI is tested
           and supported.

           Default: none

       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.

           Default: host/machine.fqdn@REALM

       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_realm (string)
           Specify the Kerberos REALM (for SASL/GSSAPI auth).

           Default: System defaults, see /etc/krb5.conf

       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. Note that the current version of sssd cannot update
           this attribute during a password change.

           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.

           Default: true

       ldap_dns_service_name (string)
           Specifies the service name to use when service discovery is
           enabled.

           Default: ldap

       ldap_access_filter (string)
           If using access_provider = ldap, 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
           and this option is not set, it will result in all users being
           denied access. Use access_provider = allow 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

FAILOVER

       The failover feature allows back ends to automatically switch to a
       different server if the primary server fails.

   Failover Syntax
       The list of servers is given as a comma-separated list; any number of
       spaces is allowed around the comma. The servers are listed in order of
       preference. The list can contain any number of servers.

   The Failover Mechanism
       The failover mechanism distinguishes between a machine and a service.
       The back end first tries to resolve the hostname of a given machine; if
       this resolution attempt fails, the machine is considered offline. No
       further attempts are made to connect to this machine for any other
       service. If the resolution attempt succeeds, the back end tries to
       connect to a service on this machine. If the service connection attempt
       fails, then only this particular service is considered offline and the
       back end automatically switches over to the next service. The machine
       is still considered online and might still be tried for another
       service.

       Further connection attempts are made to machines or services marked as
       offline after a specified period of time; this is currently hard coded
       to 30 seconds.

       If there are no more machines to try, the back end as a whole switches
       to offline mode, and then attempts to reconnect every 30 seconds.

SERVICE DISCOVERY

       The service discovery feature allows back ends to automatically find
       the appropriate servers to connect to using a special DNS query.

   Configuration
       If no servers are specified, the back end automatically uses service
       discovery to try to find a server. Optionally, the user may choose to
       use both fixed server addresses and service discovery by inserting a
       special keyword, "_srv_", in the list of servers. The order of
       preference is maintained. This feature is useful if, for example, the
       user prefers to use service discovery whenever possible, and fall back
       to a specific server when no servers can be discovered using DNS.

   The domain name
       The name of the SSSD domain is used as the domain part of the service
       discovery DNS query.

   See Also
       For more information on the service discovery mechanism, refer to RFC
       2782.

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
               enumerate = true

NOTES

       The descriptions of some of the configuration options in this manual
       page are based on the ldap.conf(5) manual page from the OpenLDAP 2.4
       distribution.
