* slapi-nis: add support to resolve external members of IPA groupsAlexander Bokovoy2016-01-261-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FreeIPA allows to include external (non-LDAP) members into POSIX groups. To define external members, an attribute ipaExternalMember is set to the list of references to external members. Currently both FreeIPA and SSSD support only references done with SIDs (Security Identifiers) from the forests trusted by FreeIPA. Resolving external members of FreeIPA groups requires resolving SIDs to user and group names. However, since this resolution is already implemented by SSSD for the group in question, slapi-nis can use the fact that there is non-empty ipaExternalMember attribute's value to trigger lookup of the FreeIPA group via SSSD and then copy over memberUid attribute value set. This logic requires that ipaExternalMember attribute value is present in the entry to be put into the map cache. Thus, an additional configuration is needed for the groups container: schema-compat-entry-attribute: ipaexternalmember=%deref_r("member","ipaexternalmember") Note that resolving external members of IPA groups requires to use version of slapi-nis that populates the map cache after LDAP server startup, as SSSD needs to talk back to the LDAP server in the process of resolving external group members and that is not possible at the time when slapi-nis plugin starts up as the LDAP server is not yet listenting for incoming connections at that point.
* schema-compat: use libnss_sss.so.2 explicitly to resolve trusted domain ↵Alexander Bokovoy2015-03-261-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | users via NSS When Schema Compatibility plugin is configured to enumerate users and groups from Active Directory domains trusted by FreeIPA, use nss_sss module directly instead of following nsswitch.conf configuration. The issue with nsswitch.conf configuration is in the fact that for each request all modules in NSS chain are processed while only one of them is responsible for users from trusted Active Directory domains, namely, nss_sss.
* Add support for FreeIPA ID viewsAlexander Bokovoy2014-10-101-0/+93
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FreeIPA ID views allow to override POSIX attributes for certain users and groups. A support is added to allow using specific ID view when serving compatibility tree. Each user or group entry which has an override in the view is amended with the overridden values from the view before served out to the LDAP client. A view to use is specified as a part of base DN: cn=<view>,cn=views,cn=compat,$SUFFIX where cn=compat,$SUFFIX is the original compatibility tree base DN. Each entry, when served through the view, gets new DN rewritten to specify the view. Additionally, if override in the view changes uid (for users) or cn (for groups) attribute, the entry's RDN is changed accordingly. For groups memberUid attribute is modified as well in case there is an override in the view that changes uid value of that member. FreeIPA ID views support overrides for users of trusted Active Directory domains. In case of a trusted AD domain's user or group is returned via compatibility tree, view overrides are applied in two stages: 1. SSSD applies default view for AD users 2. slapi-nis applies explicitly specified (host-specific) view on top of the entry returned by SSSD Thus, slapi-nis does not need to apply default view for AD users and if there are no host-specific views in use, there is no need to specify a view in the base DN, making overhead of a default view for AD users lower.
