Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Doc Text:
.`openssh-ldap` has been deprecated The `openssh-ldap` subpackage has been deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and will be removed in RHEL 9. As the `openssh-ldap` subpackage is not maintained upstream, Red Hat recommends using SSSD and the `sss_ssh_authorizedkeys` helper, which integrate better with other IdM solutions and are more secure. By default, the SSSD `ldap` and `ipa` providers read the `sshPublicKey` LDAP attribute of the user object, if available. Note that you cannot use the default SSSD configuration for the `ad` provider or IdM trusted domains to retrieve SSH public keys from Active Directory (AD), since AD does not have a default LDAP attribute to store a public key. To allow the `sss_ssh_authorizedkeys` helper to get the key from SSSD, enable the `ssh` responder by adding `ssh` to the `services` option in the `sssd.conf` file. See the `sssd.conf(5)` man page for details. To allow `sshd` to use `sss_ssh_authorizedkeys`, add the `AuthorizedKeysCommand /usr/bin/sss_ssh_authorizedkeys` and `AuthorizedKeysCommandUser nobody` options to the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file as described by the `sss_ssh_authorizedkeys(1)` man page.

Description Jakub Jelen 2020-08-21 07:24:42 UTC 
openssh-ldap subpackage provides helper binaries to pull authorized keys for sshd from ldap. It is implemented as an unmaintained downstream patch. The same functionality is provided by sssd-ldap with better integration with other IdM solutions and better security.

It will be removed in next major RHEL releases.
