[Fedora-directory-users] Host Access Based on Group Membership

[Tay, Gary]

FDS is very similar to SUN ONE DS5.2, I think netgroup (
<mailto:+ at netgroup> + at netgroup <mailto:+ at netgroupXXX> XXX in /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow and "compat" keyword in /etc/nsswitch.conf) LDAP maps
could be setup to achieve what you want, it has been used by many DS5.2
administrators

Step 5Y: Configure "netgroup" to work with RedHat or Solaris Native LDAP
Clients
(i.e. controlling user access to host using netgroup LDAP maps)

Membership
	
	
	I've been searching everywhere for the past week and haven't
found a solution.  I would like to be able to assign access to servers
based upon membership to a group or role.  For example, if I create a
group/role called "Web Servers", everyone in that group can access all
the web servers.  Everyone in the group/role "Database Servers" would be
allowed to log into the database servers.  Users can be part of multiple
groups.
	 
	There has to be a way to do this already.  All the clients are
running OpenLDAP and can already authenticate to the Directory Server.
To implement this solution, would I have to change ldap.conf or
system-auth?
	 
	Thanks,
	Jason
