We added an entitlement for all those users that need access to certain systems, but should not be able to access other systems ... We use the eduPerson schema, but I'll just give the basics ... On the users ldap record, add the entitlement hostEntitlement: hostname.company.com This is a multi-valued attribute, so a person can have a host entitlement to multiple systems. In your ldap.conf, add the entitlement lookup to your filter .. pam_filter &(objectclass=posixAccount)(hostEntitlement=hostname.company.com) This allows to to control who has access to the systems directly from ldap. Add the entitlement and they have access. Remove the entitlement and their access is revoked.
