RE: sssd and ldap_user_search_base

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a customer that is attempting to authenticate users from an ldap server with

various unix and linux clients.    They are having difficulty getting their method

to work with their Red Hat V6.0 ldap clients running sssd-1.2.1-28.el6_0.4.x86_64

and sssd-client-1.2.1-28.el6_0.4.x86_64.

 

They have split their users into three different branches of the ldap database

and done something similar with their user groups.   

 

In an attempt to control who can login to various systems, they configure their

clients to use two of three branches.   So for example client1 is configured to

use ldapusers1 and ldapusers2 while client2 can use ldapusers2 and ldapusers3.

 

If the client is allowed to search the entire database the will find account

duplications and will allow the wrong users to authenticate.

 

This is an example of what we have tried in the sssd.conf file:

 

ldap_search_base = dc=osn,dc=mydomain,dc=net

 

# ldap_user_search_base ou=ldapusers1,dc=mydomain,dc=net,ou=ldapusers2,dc=mydomain,dc=net,ou=ldapusers3,dc=mydomain,dc=net

 

#ldap_user_search_base = ou=ldapusers1,dc=mydomain,dc=net

#ldap_user_search_base = ou=ldapusers2,dc=mydomain,dc=net

#ldap_user_search_base = ou=ldapusers3,dc=mydomain,dc=net

 

#ldap_group_search_base = ou=Groups,dc=mydomain,dc=net

#ldap_group_search_base = ou=LdapGroup,dc=mydomain,dc=net

#ldap_group_search_base = ou=TestGroup,dc=mydomain,dc=net

 

 

If we use the first example in which all three branches are assigned on one line, we usually get

nothing....."can't find the user".

 

If we use any of the currently commmented examples where the symbol ldap_user_search_base is

given more than once, we only see the last one defined.

 

So the question is, is this sort of configuration possible or is something broken ?
