Introduction

This how-to shows how to configure a SME-server (>=8b6) and a client Debian (method tested with Debian squeeze) for a LDAP based SSSD authentication of the client machine on the configured user accounts of the SME.

The main advantage in comparaison to nss_ldap is that the authentication informations stay in the cache and the authentication can therefore further work, even in offline mode (when the server not available).

Nevertheless, the creation of a local user with the admin rights is recommanded for the emergency case.

These lines are a translation of the method given by Daniel: https://wikit.firewall-services.com/doku.php/tuto/ipasserelle/authentification/debian_sssd_on_sme. Many thanks to him for it.

In this how-to: we assume that:

the host name of the SME is "sme-server" and the domain is "domain.tld".

Configuration of the SME-server

There is quite no necessary configuration of the SME.

  • The only thing to do is to create a user (named "auth" in this how-to) via the server-manager and to give him a valid password ("something_very_secret" in the how-to).

It is not required to make "auth" member of any group.

  • In addition, it is recommended to install and configure PHPki in order to make the managing of the self-created certificates easier.


Configuration of the client Debian

Manage the CA of the SME

after having installed PHPki, go to https://www.domain.tld/phpki and download on the client machine the certificate of authority (ca-certificates.crt).

Place a copy of it or of another CA into /etc/ssl/certs/ and give the 644 permissions:

cp ~/download/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/certs/
chmod 644 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Install the required packages

apt-get install sssd libnss-sss libpam-sss ca-certificates

Configure sssd

The configuration is made by the file /ets/sssd/sssd.conf.

  • At the beginning of this file, the used domain has to be set. In sssd, a domain can be taken as a source of content. it is possible to set several domains in order of priority.
  • And deeper in the file, we will add the configuration of the domain


If the file doesn't exist by default it has to be created and it needs to get the permissions 600 to allow the daemon to start: cat <<'_EOF' > /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

chmod 600 /etc/sssd/sssd.conf


  Tip:
Make sure that the file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt contains the CA that has sign the certificate of the SME (if PHPki is used, a version > 0,82-13 is required).

Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and add sss for passwd, group and shadow:

passwd:         compat sss
group:          compat sss
shadow:         compat sss
