RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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

Additional info:

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.

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.
