Description Luc de Louw 2016-02-26 14:11:07 UTC

Description of problem:
Most organizations have a heterogeneous environment with Linux and Unix systems. For Linux, mostly RHEL, IPA is a nice solution for IdM. However, HBAC must also be possible for other Linux and Unix systems.

sssd-ldap in newer versions is using the host attribute, like pam_ldap does. A better solution is probably a portable version of pam_hbac. See https://github.com/jhrozek/pam_hbac

Please note that there's nothing much to do on the server side, all the infra is already there. What we need to do is to finish the pam_hbac module and provide it in some way to our customers.

Comment 4 Martin Kosek 2016-02-29 11:29:55 UTC

Correct. This is something we cannot even track here in Red Hat Bugzilla as it is the other platforms that needs to adopt the pam_hbac module.
