module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Description

This module will install the SSSD packages, configure any services and domains, and optionally configure the D-Bus system service.

CentOS, RHEL, Scientific and Oracle Enterprise Linux is supported using Puppet 5 or later.

Setup

Beginning with sssd

You need to configure at least one domain for SSSD to start up so the bare minimum would be:

include sssd
sssd::domain { 'example.com':
  id_provider => 'ldap',
  ...
}

Usage

Configure SSSD to use LDAP for NSS:

class { 'sssd':
  domains  => {
    'example.com' => {
      'id_provider'           => 'ldap',
      'ldap_schema'           => 'rfc2307',
      'ldap_uri'              => ['ldap://192.0.2.1'],
      'ldap_search_base'      => 'dc=example,dc=com',
      'ldap_tls_reqcert'      => 'never',
      'ldap_id_use_start_tls' => false,
      'ldap_default_bind_dn'  => 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com',
      'ldap_default_authtok'  => 'secret',
    },
  },
  services => {
    'nss' => {},
  },
}

class { 'nsswitch':
  passwd => ['files', 'sss'],
  shadow => ['files', 'sss'],
  group  => ['files', 'sss'],
}

Class['sssd'] -> Class['nsswitch']

Extend the above example to also make the SSSD data available over D-Bus:

include dbus
include sssd
sssd::service { 'nss': }
sssd::domain { 'example.com':
  id_provider           => 'ldap',
  ldap_schema           => 'rfc2307',
  ldap_uri              => ['ldap://192.0.2.1'],
  ldap_search_base      => 'dc=example,dc=com',
  ldap_tls_reqcert      => 'never',
  ldap_id_use_start_tls => false,
  ldap_default_bind_dn  => 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com',
  ldap_default_authtok  => 'secret',
}
include sssd::dbus

class { 'nsswitch':
  passwd => ['files', 'sss'],
  shadow => ['files', 'sss'],
  group  => ['files', 'sss'],
}

Class['sssd'] -> Class['nsswitch']

Reference

The reference documentation is generated with puppet-strings and the latest version of the documentation is hosted at https://bodgit.github.io/puppet-sssd/ and available also in the REFERENCE.md.

Limitations

This module takes the (somewhat laborious) approach of creating parameters for each sssd.conf setting rather than just pass in a large hash of settings which should result in more control.

Any setting that accepts the boolean TRUE/FALSE values is mapped to a native Puppet boolean type. Any multi-valued setting accepts an array of values.

Currently almost all parameters are optional, the only mandatory parameter is that of the identity provider (id_provider) for the sssd::domain defined type. This may change in the future if the logic becomes more obvious.

This module has been built on and tested against Puppet 5 and higher.

The module has been tested on:

  • Red Hat/CentOS Enterprise Linux 6/7

Development

The module relies on PDK and has both rspec-puppet and beaker-rspec tests. Run them with:

$ bundle exec rake spec
$ PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE=agent PUPPET_INSTALL_VERSION=x.y.z bundle exec rake beaker:<nodeset>
