.SH "NAME"
\fBsudoers.ldap\fR
\- sudo LDAP configuration
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
In addition to the standard
\fIsudoers\fR
file,
\fBsudo\fR
may be configured
via LDAP.
This can be especially useful for synchronizing
\fIsudoers\fR
in a large, distributed environment.
.PP
Using LDAP for
\fIsudoers\fR
has several benefits:
.TP 4n
\fBo\fR
\fBsudo\fR
no longer needs to read
\fIsudoers\fR
in its entirety.
When LDAP is used, there are only two or three LDAP queries per invocation.
This makes it especially fast and particularly usable in LDAP environments.
.TP 4n
\fBo\fR
\fBsudo\fR
no longer exits if there is a typo in
\fIsudoers\fR.
It is not possible to load LDAP data into the server that does
not conform to the sudoers schema, so proper syntax is guaranteed.
It is still possible to have typos in a user or host name, but
this will not prevent
\fBsudo\fR
from running.
.TP 4n
\fBo\fR
It is possible to specify per-entry options that override the global
default options.
\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
only supports default options and limited options associated with
user/host/commands/aliases.
The syntax is complicated and can be difficult for users to understand.
Placing the options directly in the entry is more natural.
.TP 4n
\fBo\fR
The
\fBvisudo\fR
program is no longer needed.
\fBvisudo\fR
provides locking and syntax checking of the
\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
file.
Since LDAP updates are atomic, locking is no longer necessary.
Because syntax is checked when the data is inserted into LDAP, there
is no need for a specialized tool to check syntax.
.PP
Another major difference between LDAP and file-based
\fIsudoers\fR
is that in LDAP,
\fBsudo\fR-specific
Aliases are not supported.
.PP
For the most part, there is really no need for
\fBsudo\fR-specific
Aliases.
Unix groups, non-Unix groups (via the
\fIgroup_plugin\fR)
or user netgroups can be used in place of User_Aliases and Runas_Aliases.
Host netgroups can be used in place of Host_Aliases.
Since groups and netgroups can also be stored in LDAP there is no real need for
\fBsudo\fR-specific
aliases.
.PP
Cmnd_Aliases are not really required either since it is possible
to have multiple users listed in a
\fRsudoRole\fR.
Instead of defining a Cmnd_Alias that is referenced by multiple users,
one can create a
\fRsudoRole\fR
that contains the commands and assign multiple users to it.
.SS "SUDOers LDAP container"
The
\fIsudoers\fR
configuration is contained in the
\fRou=SUDOers\fR
LDAP container.
.PP
Sudo first looks for the
\fRcn=default\fR
entry in the SUDOers container.
If found, the multi-valued
\fRsudoOption\fR
attribute is parsed in the same manner as a global
\fRDefaults\fR
line in
\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR.
In the following example, the
\fRSSH_AUTH_SOCK\fR
variable will be preserved in the environment for all users.
.nf

.RE
.fi
.PP
The equivalent of a sudoer in LDAP is a
\fRsudoRole\fR.
It consists of the following attributes:
.TP 6n
\fBsudoUser\fR
A user name, user ID (prefixed with
`#'),
Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
`%'
or
`%#'
respectively), user netgroup (prefixed with
`+'),
or non-Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
`%:'
or
`%:#'
respectively).
Non-Unix group support is only available when an appropriate
\fIgroup_plugin\fR
is defined in the global
\fIdefaults\fR
\fRsudoRole\fR
object.
.TP 6n
\fBsudoHost\fR
A host name, IP address, IP network, or host netgroup (prefixed with a
`+').
The special value
\fRALL\fR
will match any host.
.TP 6n
\fBsudoCommand\fR
A fully-qualified Unix command name with optional command line arguments,
potentially including globbing characters (aka wild cards).
If a command name is preceded by an exclamation point,
`\&!',
the user will be prohibited from running that command.
.sp
The built-in command
``\fRsudoedit\fR''
is used to permit a user to run
\fBsudo\fR
with the
\fB\-e\fR
option (or as
\fBsudoedit\fR).
It may take command line arguments just as a normal command does.
Note that
``\fRsudoedit\fR''
is a command built into
\fBsudo\fR
itself and must be specified in without a leading path.
.sp
The special value
\fRALL\fR
will match any command.
.sp
If a command name is prefixed with a SHA-2 digest, it will
only be allowed if the digest matches.
This may be useful in situations where the user invoking
\fBsudo\fR
has write access to the command or its parent directory.
The following digest formats are supported: sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512.
The digest name must be followed by a colon
(`:\&')
and then the actual digest, in either hex or base64 format.
For example, given the following value for sudoCommand:
.RS
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
sha224:0GomF8mNN3wlDt1HD9XldjJ3SNgpFdbjO1+NsQ /bin/ls
.RE
.fi
.sp
The user may only run
\fI/bin/ls\fR
if its sha224 digest matches the specified value.
Command digests are only supported by version 1.8.7 or higher.
.PP
.RE
.PD 0
.TP 6n
\fBsudoOption\fR
Identical in function to the global options described above, but
specific to the
\fRsudoRole\fR
in which it resides.
.PD
.TP 6n
\fBsudoRunAsUser\fR
A user name or uid (prefixed with
`#')
that commands may be run as or a Unix group (prefixed with a
`%')
or user netgroup (prefixed with a
`+')
that contains a list of users that commands may be run as.
The special value
\fRALL\fR
will match any user.
.sp
The
\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
attribute is only available in
\fBsudo\fR
versions
1.7.0 and higher.
Older versions of
\fBsudo\fR
use the
\fRsudoRunAs\fR
attribute instead.
.TP 6n
\fBsudoRunAsGroup\fR
A Unix group or gid (prefixed with
`#')
that commands may be run as.
The special value
\fRALL\fR
will match any group.
.sp
The
\fRsudoRunAsGroup\fR
attribute is only available in
\fBsudo\fR
versions
1.7.0 and higher.
.TP 6n
\fBsudoNotBefore\fR
A timestamp in the form
\fRyyyymmddHHMMSSZ\fR
that can be used to provide a start date/time for when the
\fRsudoRole\fR
will be valid.
If multiple
\fRsudoNotBefore\fR
entries are present, the earliest is used.
Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
not the local timezone.
The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some LDAP servers
require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
.sp
The
\fRsudoNotBefore\fR
attribute is only available in
\fBsudo\fR
versions 1.7.5 and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the
\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR
option in
\fI@ldap_conf@\fR.
.TP 6n
\fBsudoNotAfter\fR
A timestamp in the form
\fRyyyymmddHHMMSSZ\fR
that indicates an expiration date/time, after which the
\fRsudoRole\fR
will no longer be valid.
If multiple
\fRsudoNotBefore\fR
entries are present, the last one is used.
Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
not the local timezone.
The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some LDAP servers
require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
.sp
The
\fRsudoNotAfter\fR
attribute is only available in
\fBsudo\fR
versions
1.7.5 and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the
\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR
option in
\fI@ldap_conf@\fR.
.TP 6n
\fBsudoOrder\fR
The
\fRsudoRole\fR
entries retrieved from the LDAP directory have no inherent order.
The
\fRsudoOrder\fR
attribute is an integer (or floating point value for LDAP servers
that support it) that is used to sort the matching entries.
This allows LDAP-based sudoers entries to more closely mimic the behavior
of the sudoers file, where the of the entries influences the result.
If multiple entries match, the entry with the highest
\fRsudoOrder\fR
attribute is chosen.
This corresponds to the
``last match''
behavior of the sudoers file.
If the
\fRsudoOrder\fR
attribute is not present, a value of 0 is assumed.
.sp
The
\fRsudoOrder\fR
attribute is only available in
\fBsudo\fR
versions 1.7.5 and higher.
.PP
Each attribute listed above should contain a single value, but there
may be multiple instances of each attribute type.
A
\fRsudoRole\fR
must contain at least one
\fRsudoUser\fR,
\fRsudoHost\fR
and
\fRsudoCommand\fR.
.PP
The following example allows users in group wheel to run any command
on any host via
\fBsudo\fR:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
dn: cn=%wheel,ou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: sudoRole
cn: %wheel
sudoUser: %wheel
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
.RE
.fi
.SS "Anatomy of LDAP sudoers lookup"
When looking up a sudoer using LDAP there are only two or three
LDAP queries per invocation.
The first query is to parse the global options.
The second is to match against the user's name and the groups that
the user belongs to.
(The special
\fRALL\fR
tag is matched in this query too.)
If no match is returned for the user's name and groups, a third
query returns all entries containing user netgroups and checks
to see if the user belongs to any of them.
.PP
If timed entries are enabled with the
\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR
configuration directive, the LDAP queries include a sub-filter that
limits retrieval to entries that satisfy the time constraints, if any.
.SS "Differences between LDAP and non-LDAP sudoers"
There are some subtle differences in the way sudoers is handled
once in LDAP.
Probably the biggest is that according to the RFC, LDAP ordering
is arbitrary and you cannot expect that Attributes and Entries are
returned in any specific order.
.PP
The order in which different entries are applied can be controlled
using the
\fRsudoOrder\fR
attribute, but there is no way to guarantee the order of attributes
within a specific entry.
If there are conflicting command rules in an entry, the negative
takes precedence.
This is called paranoid behavior (not necessarily the most specific
match).
.PP
Here is an example:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
# /etc/sudoers:
# Allow all commands except shell
johnny  ALL=(root) ALL,!/bin/sh
# Always allows all commands because ALL is matched last
puddles ALL=(root) !/bin/sh,ALL

# LDAP equivalent of johnny
# Allows all commands except shell
dn: cn=role1,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectClass: sudoRole
objectClass: top
cn: role1
sudoUser: johnny
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
sudoCommand: !/bin/sh

# LDAP equivalent of puddles
# Notice that even though ALL comes last, it still behaves like
# role1 since the LDAP code assumes the more paranoid configuration
dn: cn=role2,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectClass: sudoRole
objectClass: top
cn: role2
sudoUser: puddles
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
sudoCommand: ALL
.RE
.fi
.PP
Another difference is that negations on the Host, User or Runas are
currently ignored.
For example, the following attributes do not behave the way one might expect.
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
# does not match all but joe
# rather, does not match anyone
sudoUser: !joe

# does not match all but joe
# rather, matches everyone including Joe
sudoUser: ALL
sudoUser: !joe

# does not match all but web01
# rather, matches all hosts including web01
sudoHost: ALL
sudoHost: !web01
.RE
.fi
.SS "Sudoers schema"
In order to use
\fBsudo\fR's
LDAP support, the
\fBsudo\fR
schema must be
installed on your LDAP server.
In addition, be sure to index the
\fRsudoUser\fR
attribute.
.PP
Three versions of the schema: one for OpenLDAP servers
(\fIschema.OpenLDAP\fR),
one for Netscape-derived servers
(\fIschema.iPlanet\fR),
and one for Microsoft Active Directory
(\fIschema.ActiveDirectory\fR)
may be found in the
\fBsudo\fR
distribution.
.PP
The schema for
\fBsudo\fR
in OpenLDAP form is also included in the
\fIEXAMPLES\fR
section.
.SS "Configuring ldap.conf"
Sudo reads the
\fI@ldap_conf@\fR
file for LDAP-specific configuration.
Typically, this file is shared between different LDAP-aware clients.
As such, most of the settings are not
\fBsudo\fR-specific.
Note that
\fBsudo\fR
parses
\fI@ldap_conf@\fR
itself and may support options that differ from those described in the
system's
ldap.conf(@mansectsu@)
manual.
The path to
\fIldap.conf\fR
may be overridden via the
\fIldap_conf\fR
plugin argument in
sudo.conf(@mansectform@).
.PP
Also note that on systems using the OpenLDAP libraries, default
values specified in
\fI/etc/openldap/ldap.conf\fR
or the user's
\fI.ldaprc\fR
files are not used.
.PP
Only those options explicitly listed in
\fI@ldap_conf@\fR
as being supported by
\fBsudo\fR
are honored.
Configuration options are listed below in upper case but are parsed
in a case-independent manner.
.PP
The pound sign
(`#')
is used to indicate a comment.
Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
the line, are ignored.
Long lines can be continued with a backslash
(`\e')
as the last character on the line.
Note that leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines
even when the continuation character is used.
.TP 6n
\fBURI\fR \fIldap[s]://[hostname[:port]] ...\fR
Specifies a white space-delimited list of one or more URIs describing
the LDAP server(s) to connect to.
The
\fIprotocol\fR
may be either
\fIldap\fR
\fIldaps\fR,
the latter being for servers that support TLS (SSL) encryption.
If no
\fIport\fR
is specified, the default is port 389 for
\fRldap://\fR
or port 636 for
\fRldaps://\fR.
If no
\fIhostname\fR
is specified,
\fBsudo\fR
will connect to
\fIlocalhost\fR.
Multiple
\fBURI\fR
lines are treated identically to a
\fBURI\fR
line containing multiple entries.
Only systems using the OpenSSL libraries support the mixing of
\fRldap://\fR
and
\fRldaps://\fR
URIs.
Both the Netscape-derived and Tivoli LDAP libraries used on most commercial
versions of Unix are only capable of supporting one or the other.
.TP 6n
\fBHOST\fR \fIname[:port] ...\fR
If no
\fBURI\fR
is specified, the
\fBHOST\fR
parameter specifies a white space-delimited list of LDAP servers to connect to.
Each host may include an optional
\fIport\fR
separated by a colon
(`:\&').
The
\fBHOST\fR
parameter is deprecated in favor of the
\fBURI\fR
specification and is included for backwards compatibility.
.TP 6n
\fBPORT\fR \fIport_number\fR
If no
\fBURI\fR
is specified, the
\fBPORT\fR
parameter specifies the default port to connect to on the LDAP server if a
\fBHOST\fR
parameter does not specify the port itself.
If no
\fBPORT\fR
parameter is used, the default is port 389 for LDAP and port 636 for LDAP
over TLS (SSL).
The
\fBPORT\fR
parameter is deprecated in favor of the
\fBURI\fR
specification and is included for backwards compatibility.
.TP 6n
\fBBIND_TIMELIMIT\fR \fIseconds\fR
The
\fBBIND_TIMELIMIT\fR
parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait while trying
to connect to an LDAP server.
If multiple
\fBURI\fRs
or
\fBHOST\fRs
are specified, this is the amount of time to wait before trying
the next one in the list.
.TP 6n
\fBNETWORK_TIMEOUT\fR \fIseconds\fR
An alias for
\fBBIND_TIMELIMIT\fR
for OpenLDAP compatibility.
.TP 6n
\fBTIMELIMIT\fR \fIseconds\fR
The
\fBTIMELIMIT\fR
parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a
response to an LDAP query.
.TP 6n
\fBTIMEOUT\fR \fIseconds\fR
The
\fBTIMEOUT\fR
parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a
response from the various LDAP APIs.
.TP 6n
\fBSUDOERS_BASE\fR \fIbase\fR
The base DN to use when performing
\fBsudo\fR
LDAP queries.
Typically this is of the form
\fRou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com\fR
for the domain
\fRexample.com\fR.
Multiple
\fBSUDOERS_BASE\fR
lines may be specified, in which case they are queried in the order specified.
.TP 6n
\fBSUDOERS_SEARCH_FILTER\fR \fIldap_filter\fR
An LDAP filter which is used to restrict the set of records returned
when performing a
\fBsudo\fR
LDAP query.
Typically, this is of the
form
\fRattribute=value\fR
or
\fR(&(attribute=value)(attribute2=value2))\fR.
.TP 6n
\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR \fIon/true/yes/off/false/no\fR
Whether or not to evaluate the
\fRsudoNotBefore\fR
and
\fRsudoNotAfter\fR
attributes that implement time-dependent sudoers entries.
.TP 6n
\fBSUDOERS_DEBUG\fR \fIdebug_level\fR
This sets the debug level for
\fBsudo\fR
LDAP queries.
Debugging information is printed to the standard error.
A value of 1 results in a moderate amount of debugging information.
A value of 2 shows the results of the matches themselves.
This parameter should not be set in a production environment as the
extra information is likely to confuse users.
.sp
The
\fBSUDOERS_DEBUG\fR
parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
The same information is now logged via the
\fBsudo\fR
debugging framework using the
``ldap''
subsystem at priorities
\fIdiag\fR
and
\fIinfo\fR
for
\fIdebug_level\fR
values 1 and 2 respectively.
See the
sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
manual for details on how to configure
\fBsudo\fR
debugging.
.TP 6n
\fBBINDDN\fR \fIDN\fR
The
\fBBINDDN\fR
parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a Distinguished Name (DN),
to use when performing LDAP operations.
If not specified, LDAP operations are performed with an anonymous identity.
By default, most LDAP servers will allow anonymous access.
.TP 6n
\fBBINDPW\fR \fIsecret\fR
The
\fBBINDPW\fR
parameter specifies the password to use when performing LDAP operations.
This is typically used in conjunction with the
\fBBINDDN\fR
parameter.
.TP 6n
\fBROOTBINDDN\fR \fIDN\fR
The
\fBROOTBINDDN\fR
parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a Distinguished Name (DN),
to use when performing privileged LDAP operations, such as
\fIsudoers\fR
queries.
The password corresponding to the identity should be stored in the
or the path specified by the
\fIldap_secret\fR
plugin argument in
sudo.conf(@mansectform@),
which defaults to
\fI@ldap_secret@\fR.
If no
\fBROOTBINDDN\fR
is specified, the
\fBBINDDN\fR
identity is used (if any).
.TP 6n
\fBLDAP_VERSION\fR \fInumber\fR
The version of the LDAP protocol to use when connecting to the server.
The default value is protocol version 3.
.TP 6n
\fBSSL\fR \fIon/true/yes/off/false/no\fR
If the
\fBSSL\fR
parameter is set to
\fRon\fR,
\fRtrue\fR
\fRor\fR
\fRyes\fR,
TLS (SSL) encryption is always used when communicating with the LDAP server.
Typically, this involves connecting to the server on port 636 (ldaps).
.TP 6n
\fBSSL\fR \fIstart_tls\fR
If the
\fBSSL\fR
parameter is set to
\fRstart_tls\fR,
the LDAP server connection is initiated normally and TLS encryption is
begun before the bind credentials are sent.
This has the advantage of not requiring a dedicated port for encrypted
communications.
This parameter is only supported by LDAP servers that honor the
\fIstart_tls\fR
extension, such as the OpenLDAP and Tivoli Directory servers.
.TP 6n
\fBTLS_CHECKPEER\fR \fIon/true/yes/off/false/no\fR
If enabled,
\fBTLS_CHECKPEER\fR
will cause the LDAP server's TLS certificated to be verified.
If the server's TLS certificate cannot be verified (usually because it
is signed by an unknown certificate authority),
\fBsudo\fR
will be unable to connect to it.
If
\fBTLS_CHECKPEER\fR
is disabled, no check is made.
Note that disabling the check creates an opportunity for man-in-the-middle
attacks since the server's identity will not be authenticated.
If possible, the CA's certificate should be installed locally so it can
be verified.
This option is not supported by the Tivoli Directory Server LDAP libraries.
.TP 6n
\fBTLS_CACERT\fR \fIfile name\fR
An alias for
\fBTLS_CACERTFILE\fR
for OpenLDAP compatibility.
.TP 6n
\fBTLS_CACERTFILE\fR \fIfile name\fR
The path to a certificate authority bundle which contains the certificates
for all the Certificate Authorities the client knows to be valid, e.g.\&
\fI/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem\fR.
This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
Netscape-derived LDAP libraries use the same certificate
database for CA and client certificates (see
\fBTLS_CERT\fR).
.TP 6n
\fBTLS_CACERTDIR\fR \fIdirectory\fR
Similar to
\fBTLS_CACERTFILE\fR
but instead of a file, it is a directory containing individual
Certificate Authority certificates, e.g.\&
\fI/etc/ssl/certs\fR.
The directory specified by
\fBTLS_CACERTDIR\fR
is checked after
\fBTLS_CACERTFILE\fR.
This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
.TP 6n
\fBTLS_CERT\fR \fIfile name\fR
The path to a file containing the client certificate which can
be used to authenticate the client to the LDAP server.
The certificate type depends on the LDAP libraries used.
.RS
.TP 6n
OpenLDAP:
\fRtls_cert /etc/ssl/client_cert.pem\fR

\fBTLS_KEYPW\fR \fIsecret\fR
The
\fBTLS_KEYPW\fR
contains the password used to decrypt the key database on clients
using the Tivoli Directory Server LDAP library.
This should be a simple string without quotes.
The password may not include the comment character
(`#')
and escaping of special characters with a backslash
(`\e')
is not supported.
If this option is used,
\fI@ldap_conf@\fR
must not be world-readable to avoid exposing the password.
Alternately, a
\fIstash file\fR
can be used to store the password in encrypted form (see below).
.sp
If no
\fBTLS_KEYPW\fR
is specified, a
\fIstash file\fR
will be used if it exists.
The
\fIstash file\fR
must have the same path as the file specified by
\fBTLS_KEY\fR,
but use a
\fR.sth\fR
file extension instead of
\fR.kdb\fR,
e.g.\&
\fRldapkey.sth\fR.
The default
\fRldapkey.kdb\fR
that ships with Tivoli Directory Server is encrypted with the password
\fRssl_password\fR.
The
\fIgsk8capicmd\fR
utility can be used to manage the key database and create a
\fIstash file\fR.
This option is only supported by the Tivoli LDAP libraries.

.TP 6n
\fBTLS_RANDFILE\fR \fIfile name\fR
The
\fBTLS_RANDFILE\fR
parameter specifies the path to an entropy source for systems that lack
a random device.
It is generally used in conjunction with
\fIprngd\fR
or
\fIegd\fR.
This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
.TP 6n
\fBTLS_CIPHERS\fR \fIcipher list\fR
The
\fBTLS_CIPHERS\fR
parameter allows the administer to restrict which encryption algorithms
may be used for TLS (SSL) connections.
See the OpenLDAP or Tivoli Directory Server manual for a list of valid
ciphers.
This option is not supported by Netscape-derived libraries.
.TP 6n
\fBUSE_SASL\fR \fIon/true/yes/off/false/no\fR
Enable
\fBUSE_SASL\fR
for LDAP servers that support SASL authentication.
.TP 6n
\fBSASL_AUTH_ID\fR \fIidentity\fR
The SASL user name to use when connecting to the LDAP server.
By default,
\fBsudo\fR
will use an anonymous connection.
.TP 6n
\fBROOTUSE_SASL\fR \fIon/true/yes/off/false/no\fR
Enable
\fBROOTUSE_SASL\fR
to enable SASL authentication when connecting
to an LDAP server from a privileged process, such as
\fBsudo\fR.
.TP 6n
\fBROOTSASL_AUTH_ID\fR \fIidentity\fR
The SASL user name to use when
\fBROOTUSE_SASL\fR
is enabled.
.TP 6n
\fBSASL_SECPROPS\fR \fInone/properties\fR
SASL security properties or
\fInone\fR
for no properties.
See the SASL programmer's manual for details.
.TP 6n
\fBKRB5_CCNAME\fR \fIfile name\fR
The path to the Kerberos 5 credential cache to use when authenticating
with the remote server.
.TP 6n
\fBDEREF\fR \fInever/searching/finding/always\fR
How alias dereferencing is to be performed when searching.
See the
ldap.conf(@mansectsu@)
manual for a full description of this option.
.PP
See the
\fIldap.conf\fR
entry in the
\fIEXAMPLES\fR
section.
.SS "Configuring nsswitch.conf"
Unless it is disabled at build time,
\fBsudo\fR
consults the Name Service Switch file,
\fI@nsswitch_conf@\fR,
to specify the
\fIsudoers\fR
search order.
Sudo looks for a line beginning with
\fRsudoers\fR:
and uses this to determine the search order.
Note that
\fBsudo\fR
does
not stop searching after the first match and later matches take
precedence over earlier ones.
The following sources are recognized:
.TP 10n
files
read sudoers from
\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
.PD 0
.TP 10n
ldap
read sudoers from LDAP
.PD
.PP
In addition, the entry
\fR[NOTFOUND=return]\fR
will short-circuit the search if the user was not found in the
preceding source.
.PP
To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it
exists), use:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
sudoers: ldap files
.RE
.fi
.PP
The local
\fIsudoers\fR
file can be ignored completely by using:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
sudoers: ldap
.RE
.fi
.PP
If the
\fI@nsswitch_conf@\fR
file is not present or there is no sudoers line, the following
default is assumed:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
sudoers: files
.RE
.fi
.PP
Note that
\fI@nsswitch_conf@\fR
is supported even when the underlying operating system does not use
an nsswitch.conf file, except on AIX (see below).
.SS "Configuring netsvc.conf"
On AIX systems, the
\fI@netsvc_conf@\fR
file is consulted instead of
\fI@nsswitch_conf@\fR.
\fBsudo\fR
simply treats
\fInetsvc.conf\fR
as a variant of
\fInsswitch.conf\fR;
information in the previous section unrelated to the file format
itself still applies.
.PP
To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it
exists), use:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
sudoers = ldap, files
.RE
.fi
.PP
The local
\fIsudoers\fR
file can be ignored completely by using:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
sudoers = ldap
.RE
.fi
.PP
To treat LDAP as authoritative and only use the local sudoers file
if the user is not present in LDAP, use:
.nf
.sp
.RS 4n
sudoers = ldap = auth, files
.RE
.fi
.PP
Note that in the above example, the
\fRauth\fR
qualifier only affects user lookups; both LDAP and
\fIsudoers\fR
will be queried for
\fRDefaults\fR
entries.
.PP
If the
\fI@netsvc_conf@\fR
file is not present or there is no sudoers line, the following

# For SunONE or iPlanet LDAP, tls_cert and tls_key may specify either

# and key files themselves.  However, a bug in version 5.0 of the LDAP
# SDK will prevent specific file names from working.  For this reason
# it is suggested that tls_cert and tls_key be set to a directory,
# not a file name.
#
# The certificate database specified by tls_cert may contain CA certs
# and/or the client's cert.  If the client's cert is included, tls_key
# should be specified as well.
