Thanks Howard,
Could you point me to some good documentation or HowTos on that?
Which version of OpenLDAP should I have installed on server/client machine or is there any separate rpm or pkg to be installed to get started with it ?

Thanks
Shamika

Use pam_groupdn

pam_groupdn<groupdn>
Specifies the distinguished name of a group to which a user must belong for logon authorization to succeed.
For example:

pam_groupdn cn=accessGroupServer1,ou=host_ssh_access,dc=example,dc=net

I am not sure if you can specify multiple groups, you'll have to play with it.

This question concerns pam-ldap and belongs on the pam-ldap mailing list.

No, pam_groupdn does not support multiple groups.

If you want to actually discuss something relevant to OpenLDAP, then switch to OpenLDAP's nssov overlay, which has full support for arbitrary host / group / ACL-based login authorization.


Thanks,
Joe

I've been fighting with this since long time now. Reading posts&
archieves, having no luck beyond this point.......but now a bit desperate to get this done as I am
running out of time now.

Any help in this matter is truly appreciated.
I attempted to use following ldap.conf settings, but still get auth failures upon doing ssh w/ ldap user.

"getent" for the user "shamika returns correct information from LDAPserver


[root@x15f12 security]# getent passwd shamika

No user can login even when I set pam_filter host=* , but if I comment out pam_fiilter it allows all ldap users to login via ssh.

Here is snapshot from /var/log/secure

Hi all,
I'm stuck in the same issue as Serge Fonville.
I have created new Auxiliary objectclass 'testobj' with 'host' attribute&  added it to the ou=Groups.Then created 2 entries under Groups as below&  assigned members to those groups.




dn: cn=qagroup,ou=Groups,dc=test,dc=com
cn: qagroup
gidNumber: 4
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: testobj
host: x15f12.test.com

memberUid: uid=ldap1,ou=Users,dc=test,dc=com

memberUid: uid=ldap2,ou=Users,dc=test,dc=com

dn: cn=admin,ou=Groups,dc=test,dc=com
cn: admin
gidNumber: 0
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: testobj
host: x15ubuntu.test.com


memberUid: uid=ldap3,ou=Users,dc=test,dc=com
memberUid: uid=ldap4,ou=Users,dc=test,dc=com


Now which parameter in ldap.conf or any other files I host machine should I modify and how, so that members from qagroup or admin groups only get access to host mentioned in their respective attributes ??



Thanks in advance
Shamika

Or you can create your own Aux. object class that includes the host

attribute then you just have to modify the ldap.conf for the machine to

restrict user authentication.

If you are using ssh and pam can be done like this:

UsePAM yes



# Restringir acesso ao grupo local 'suporte' e a grupos LDAP

AllowGroups suporte "SSH UDSL"



where "SSH UDSL" is a Group in LDAP, and "suporte" is a local group.

Hi,



While setting up an LDAP server. I noticed that it is not possible to

add a host attribute to a posixGroup.



Is there a way to limit a user what host they can logon to based on

their group membership?



Thanks in advance



Regards,



Serge Fonville
