auth or authconfig (required)
- Sets up the authentication options for the system. It's similar to
- the authconfig command, which can be run after the install. By
- default, passwords are normally encrypted and are not shadowed.
+ Sets up the authentication options for the system. This is just a
+ wrapper around the authconfig program, so all options recognized
+ by that program are valid for this command. See the manual page for
+ authconfig for a complete list.
- --enablemd5
-
- Use md5 encryption for user passwords.
-
- --enablenis
-
- Turns on NIS support. By default, --enablenis uses whatever
- domain it finds on the network. A domain should almost always
- be set by hand with the --nisdomain= option.
-
- --nisdomain=
-
- NIS domain name to use for NIS services.
-
- --nisserver=
-
- Server to use for NIS services (broadcasts by default).
-
- --useshadow or --enableshadow
-
- Use shadow passwords.
-
- --enableldap
-
- Turns on LDAP support in /etc/nsswitch.conf, allowing your
- system to retrieve information about users (UIDs, home
- directories, shells, etc.) from an LDAP directory. To use
- this option, you must install the nss_ldap package. You must
- also specify a server and a base DN with --ldapserver= and
- --ldapbasedn=.
-
- --enableldapauth
-
- Use LDAP as an authentication method. This enables the
- pam_ldap module for authentication and changing passwords,
- using an LDAP directory. To use this option, you must have the
- nss_ldap package installed. You must also specify a server
- and a base DN with --ldapserver= and --ldapbasedn=.
-
- --ldapserver=
-
- If you specified either --enableldap or --enableldapauth, use
- this option to specify the name of the LDAP server to use.
- This option is set in the /etc/ldap.conf file.
-
- --ldapbasedn=
-
- If you specified either --enableldap or --enableldapauth, use
- this option to specify the DN (distinguished name) in your
- LDAP directory tree under which user information is stored.
- This option is set in the /etc/ldap.conf file.
-
- --enableldaptls
-
- Use TLS (Transport Layer Security) lookups. This option allows
- LDAP to send encrypted usernames and passwords to an LDAP
- server before authentication.
-
- --enablekrb5
-
- Use Kerberos 5 for authenticating users. Kerberos itself does
- not know about home directories, UIDs, or shells. So if you
- enable Kerberos you will need to make users' accounts known to
- this workstation by enabling LDAP, NIS, or Hesiod or by using
- the /usr/sbin/useradd command to make their accounts known to
- this workstation. If you use this option, you must have the
- pam_krb5 package installed.
-
- --krb5realm=
-
- The Kerberos 5 realm to which your workstation belongs.
-
- --krb5kdc=
-
- The KDC (or KDCs) that serve requests for the realm. If you
- have multiple KDCs in your realm, separate their names with
- commas (,).
-
- --krb5adminserver=
-
- The KDC in your realm that is also running kadmind. This
- server handles password changing and other administrative
- requests. This server must be run on the master KDC if you
- have more than one KDC.
-
- --enablehesiod
-
- Enable Hesiod support for looking up user home directories,
- UIDs, and shells. More information on setting up and using
- Hesiod on your network is in
- /usr/share/doc/glibc-2.x.x/README.hesiod, which is included in
- the glibc package. Hesiod is an extension of DNS that uses DNS
- records to store information about users, groups, and various
- other items.
-
- --hesiodlhs
-
- The Hesiod LHS ("left-hand side") option, set in
- /etc/hesiod.conf. This option is used by the Hesiod library to
- determine the name to search DNS for when looking up
- information, similar to LDAP's use of a base DN.
-
- --hesiodrhs
-
- The Hesiod RHS ("right-hand side") option, set in
- /etc/hesiod.conf. This option is used by the Hesiod library to
- determine the name to search DNS for when looking up
- information, similar to LDAP's use of a base DN.
-
- Tip
-
- To look up user information for "jim", the Hesiod library
- looks up jim.passwd<LHS><RHS>, which should resolve to a TXT
- record that looks like what his passwd entry would look like
- (jim:*:501:501:Jungle Jim:/home/jim:/bin/bash). For groups,
- the situation is identical, except jim.group<LHS><RHS> would
- be used.
-
- Looking up users and groups by number is handled by making
- "501.uid" a CNAME for "jim.passwd", and "501.gid" a CNAME for
- "jim.group". Note that the LHS and RHS do not have periods [.]
- put in front of them when the library determines the name for
- which to search, so the LHS and RHS usually begin with
- periods.
-
- --enablesmbauth
-
- Enables authentication of users against an SMB server
- (typically a Samba or Windows server). SMB authentication
- support does not know about home directories, UIDs, or shells.
- So if you enable it you will need to make users' accounts
- known to the workstation by enabling LDAP, NIS, or Hesiod or
- by using the /usr/sbin/useradd command to make their accounts
- known to the workstation. To use this option, you must have
- the pam_smb package installed.
-
- --smbservers=
-
- The name of the server(s) to use for SMB authentication. To
- specify more than one server, separate the names with commas
- (,).
-
- --smbworkgroup=
-
- The name of the workgroup for the SMB servers.
-
- --enablecache
-
- Enables the nscd service. The nscd service caches information
- about users, groups, and various other types of information.
- Caching is especially helpful if you choose to distribute
- information about users and groups over your network using
- NIS, LDAP, or hesiod.
+ By default, passwords are normally encrypted and are not shadowed.
