Chapter 20. Granting sudo access to an IdM user on an IdM client Learn more about granting sudo access to users in Identity Management. 20.1. Sudo access on an IdM client System administrators can grant sudo access to allow non-root users to execute administrative commands that are normally reserved for the root user. Consequently, when users need to perform an administrative command normally reserved for the root user, they precede that command with sudo . After entering their password, the command is executed as if they were the root user. To execute a sudo command as another user or group, such as a database service account, you can configure a RunAs alias for a sudo rule. If a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 host is enrolled as an Identity Management (IdM) client, you can specify sudo rules defining which IdM users can perform which commands on the host in the following ways: Locally in the /etc/sudoers file Centrally in IdM You can create a central sudo rule for an IdM client using the command line (CLI) and the IdM Web UI. You can also configure password-less authentication for sudo using the Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSSAPI), the native way for UNIX-based operating systems to access and authenticate Kerberos services. You can use the pam_sss_gss.so Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) to invoke GSSAPI authentication via the SSSD service, allowing users to authenticate to the sudo command with a valid Kerberos ticket. Additional resources Managing sudo access 20.2. Granting sudo access to an IdM user on an IdM client using the CLI In Identity Management (IdM), you can grant sudo access for a specific command to an IdM user account on a specific IdM host. First, add a sudo command and then create a sudo rule for one or more commands. For example, complete this procedure to create the idm_user_reboot sudo rule to grant the idm_user account the permission to run the /usr/sbin/reboot command on the idmclient machine. Prerequisites You are logged in as IdM administrator. You have created a user account for idm_user in IdM and unlocked the account by creating a password for the user. For details on adding a new IdM user using the CLI, see Adding users using the command line . No local idm_user account is present on the idmclient host. The idm_user user is not listed in the local /etc/passwd file. Procedure Retrieve a Kerberos ticket as the IdM admin . Add the /usr/sbin/reboot command to the IdM database of sudo commands: Create a sudo rule named idm_user_reboot : Add the /usr/sbin/reboot command to the idm_user_reboot rule: Apply the idm_user_reboot rule to the IdM idmclient host: Add the idm_user account to the idm_user_reboot rule: Optional: Define the validity of the idm_user_reboot rule: To define the time at which a sudo rule starts to be valid, use the ipa sudorule-mod sudo_rule_name command with the --setattr sudonotbefore= DATE option. The DATE value must follow the yyyymmddHHMMSSZ format, with seconds specified explicitly. For example, to set the start of the validity of the idm_user_reboot rule to 31 December 2025 12:34:00, enter: To define the time at which a sudo rule stops being valid, use the --setattr sudonotafter=DATE option. For example, to set the end of the idm_user_reboot rule validity to 31 December 2026 12:34:00, enter: Note Propagating the changes from the server to the client can take a few minutes. Verification Log in to the idmclient host as the idm_user account. Display which sudo rules the idm_user account is allowed to perform. Reboot the machine using sudo . Enter the password for idm_user when prompted: 20.3. Granting sudo access to an AD user on an IdM client using the CLI Identity Management (IdM) system administrators can use IdM user groups to set access permissions, host-based access control, sudo rules, and other controls on IdM users. IdM user groups grant and restrict access to IdM domain resources. You can add both Active Directory (AD) users and AD groups to IdM user groups. To do that: Add the AD users or groups to a non-POSIX external IdM group. Add the non-POSIX external IdM group to an IdM POSIX group. You can then manage the privileges of the AD users by managing the privileges of the POSIX group. For example, you can grant sudo access for a specific command to an IdM POSIX user group on a specific IdM host. Note It is also possible to add AD user groups as members to IdM external groups. This might make it easier to define policies for Windows users, by keeping the user and group management within the single AD realm. Important Do not use ID overrides of AD users for SUDO rules in IdM. ID overrides of AD users represent only POSIX attributes of AD users, not AD users themselves. You can add ID overrides as group members. However, you can only use this functionality to manage IdM resources in the IdM API. The possibility to add ID overrides as group members is not extended to POSIX environments and you therefore cannot use it for membership in sudo or host-based access control (HBAC) rules. Follow this procedure to create the ad_users_reboot sudo rule to grant the administrator@ad-domain.com AD user the permission to run the /usr/sbin/reboot command on the idmclient IdM host, which is normally reserved for the root user. administrator@ad-domain.com is a member of the ad_users_external non-POSIX group, which is, in turn, a member of the ad_users POSIX group. Prerequisites You have obtained the IdM admin Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT). A cross-forest trust exists between the IdM domain and the ad-domain.com AD domain. No local administrator account is present on the idmclient host: the administrator user is not listed in the local /etc/passwd file. Procedure Create the ad_users group that contains the ad_users_external group with the administrator@ad-domain member: Optional: Create or select a corresponding group in the AD domain to use to manage AD users in the IdM realm. You can use multiple AD groups and add them to different groups on the IdM side. Create the ad_users_external group and indicate that it contains members from outside the IdM domain by adding the --external option: Note Ensure that the external group that you specify here is an AD security group with a global or universal group scope as defined in the Active Directory security groups document. For example, the Domain users or Domain admins AD security groups cannot be used because their group scope is domain local . Create the ad_users group: Add the administrator@ad-domain.com AD user to ad_users_external as an external member: The AD user must be identified by a fully-qualified name, such as DOMAIN\user_name or user_name@DOMAIN . The AD identity is then mapped to the AD SID for the user. The same applies to adding AD groups. Add ad_users_external to ad_users as a member: Grant the members of ad_users the permission to run /usr/sbin/reboot on the idmclient host: Add the /usr/sbin/reboot command to the IdM database of sudo commands: Create a sudo rule named ad_users_reboot : Add the /usr/sbin/reboot command to the ad_users_reboot rule: Apply the ad_users_reboot rule to the IdM idmclient host: Add the ad_users group to the ad_users_reboot rule: Note Propagating the changes from the server to the client can take a few minutes. Verification Log in to the idmclient host as administrator@ad-domain.com , an indirect member of the ad_users group: Optional: Display the sudo commands that administrator@ad-domain.com is allowed to execute: Reboot the machine using sudo . Enter the password for administrator@ad-domain.com when prompted: Additional resources Active Directory users and Identity Management groups Include users and groups from a trusted Active Directory domain into SUDO rules 20.4. Granting sudo access to an IdM user on an IdM client using the IdM Web UI In Identity Management (IdM), you can grant sudo access for a specific command to an IdM user account on a specific IdM host. First, add a sudo command and then create a sudo rule for one or more commands. Complete this procedure to create the idm_user_reboot sudo rule to grant the idm_user account the permission to run the /usr/sbin/reboot command on the idmclient machine. Prerequisites You are logged in as IdM administrator. You have created a user account for idm_user in IdM and unlocked the account by creating a password for the user. For details on adding a new IdM user using the command line, see Adding users using the command line . No local idm_user account is present on the idmclient host.

Enter the password for idm_user when prompted: If the sudo rule is configured correctly, the machine reboots. 20.5. Creating a sudo rule on the CLI that runs a command as a service account on an IdM client In IdM, you can configure a sudo rule with a RunAs alias to run a sudo command as another user or group. For example, you might have an IdM client that hosts a database application, and you need to run commands as the local service account that corresponds to that application. Use this example to create a sudo rule on the command line called run_third-party-app_report to allow the idm_user account to run the /opt/third-party-app/bin/report command as the thirdpartyapp service account on the idmclient host. Prerequisites You are logged in as IdM administrator. You have created a user account for idm_user in IdM and unlocked the account by creating a password for the user. For details on adding a new IdM user using the CLI, see Adding users using the command line . No local idm_user account is present on the idmclient host. The idm_user user is not listed in the local /etc/passwd file. You have a custom application named third-party-app installed on the idmclient host. The report command for the third-party-app application is installed in the /opt/third-party-app/bin/report directory. You have created a local service account named thirdpartyapp to execute commands for the third-party-app application. Procedure Retrieve a Kerberos ticket as the IdM admin . Add the /opt/third-party-app/bin/report command to the IdM database of sudo commands: Create a sudo rule named run_third-party-app_report : Use the --users= <user> option to specify the RunAs user for the sudorule-add-runasuser command: The user (or group specified with the --groups=* option) can be external to IdM, such as a local service account or an Active Directory user. Do not add a % prefix for group names. Add the /opt/third-party-app/bin/report command to the run_third-party-app_report rule: Apply the run_third-party-app_report rule to the IdM idmclient host: Add the idm_user account to the run_third-party-app_report rule: Note Propagating the changes from the server to the client can take a few minutes. Verification Log in to the idmclient host as the idm_user account. Test the new sudo rule: Display which sudo rules the idm_user account is allowed to perform. Run the report command as the thirdpartyapp service account. 20.6.

Enabling GSSAPI authentication for sudo on an IdM client Enable Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI) authentication on an IdM client for the sudo and sudo -i commands via the pam_sss_gss.so PAM module. With this configuration, IdM users can authenticate to the sudo command with their Kerberos ticket. Prerequisites You have created a sudo rule for an IdM user that applies to an IdM host. For this example, you have created the idm_user_reboot sudo rule to grant the idm_user account the permission to run the /usr/sbin/reboot command on the idmclient host. You need root privileges to modify the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file and PAM files in the /etc/pam.d/ directory. Procedure Open the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf configuration file. Add the following entry to the [domain/ <domain_name> ] section. Save and close the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file. Restart the SSSD service to load the configuration changes. On RHEL 9.2 or later: Optional: Determine if you have selected the sssd authselect profile: If the sssd authselect profile is selected, enable GSSAPI authentication: If the sssd authselect profile is not selected, select it and enable GSSAPI authentication: On RHEL 9.1 or earlier: Open the /etc/pam.d/sudo PAM configuration file. Add the following entry as the first line of the auth section in the /etc/pam.d/sudo file. Save and close the /etc/pam.d/sudo file. Verification Log into the host as the idm_user account. Verify that you have a ticket-granting ticket as the idm_user account. Optional: If you do not have Kerberos credentials for the idm_user account, delete your current Kerberos credentials and request the correct ones. Reboot the machine using sudo , without specifying a password.

Enabling GSSAPI authentication and enforcing Kerberos authentication indicators for sudo on an IdM client Enable Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI) authentication on an IdM client for the sudo and sudo -i commands via the pam_sss_gss.so PAM module. Additionally, only users who have logged in with a smart card will authenticate to those commands with their Kerberos ticket. Note You can use this procedure as a template to configure GSSAPI authentication with SSSD for other PAM-aware services, and further restrict access to only those users that have a specific authentication indicator attached to their Kerberos ticket. Prerequisites You have created a sudo rule for an IdM user that applies to an IdM host. For this example, you have created the idm_user_reboot sudo rule to grant the idm_user account the permission to run the /usr/sbin/reboot command on the idmclient host. You have configured smart card authentication for the idmclient host. You need root privileges to modify the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file and PAM files in the /etc/pam.d/ directory. Procedure Open the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf configuration file. Add the following entries to the [domain/ <domain_name> ] section. Save and close the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file. Restart the SSSD service to load the configuration changes. On RHEL 9.2 or later: Determine if you have selected the sssd authselect profile: Optional: Select the sssd authselect profile: Enable GSSAPI authentication: Configure the system to authenticate only users with smart cards: On RHEL 9.1 or earlier: Open the /etc/pam.d/sudo PAM configuration file. Add the following entry as the first line of the auth section in the /etc/pam.d/sudo file. Save and close the /etc/pam.d/sudo file. Open the /etc/pam.d/sudo-i PAM configuration file. Add the following entry as the first line of the auth section in the /etc/pam.d/sudo-i file. Save and close the /etc/pam.d/sudo-i file. Verification Log into the host as the idm_user account and authenticate with a smart card. Verify that you have a ticket-granting ticket as the smart card user. Display which sudo rules the idm_user account is allowed to perform. Reboot the machine using sudo , without specifying a password.

SSSD options controlling GSSAPI authentication for PAM services You can use the following options for the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf configuration file to adjust the GSSAPI configuration within the SSSD service. pam_gssapi_services GSSAPI authentication with SSSD is disabled by default. You can use this option to specify a comma-separated list of PAM services that are allowed to try GSSAPI authentication using the pam_sss_gss.so PAM module. To explicitly disable GSSAPI authentication, set this option to - . pam_gssapi_indicators_map This option only applies to Identity Management (IdM) domains. Use this option to list Kerberos authentication indicators that are required to grant PAM access to a service. Pairs must be in the format <PAM_service> :_<required_authentication_indicator>_ . Valid authentication indicators are: otp for two-factor authentication radius for RADIUS authentication pkinit for PKINIT, smart card, or certificate authentication hardened for hardened passwords pam_gssapi_check_upn This option is enabled and set to true by default. If this option is enabled, the SSSD service requires that the user name matches the Kerberos credentials. If false , the pam_sss_gss.so PAM module authenticates every user that is able to obtain the required service ticket. Examples The following options enable Kerberos authentication for the sudo and sudo-i services, requires that sudo users authenticated with a one-time password, and user names must match the Kerberos principal. Because these settings are in the [pam] section, they apply to all domains: You can also set these options in individual [domain] sections to overwrite any global values in the [pam] section. The following options apply different GSSAPI settings to each domain: For the idm.example.com domain Enable GSSAPI authentication for the sudo and sudo -i services. Require certificate or smart card authentication authenticators for the sudo command. Require one-time password authentication authenticators for the sudo -i command. Enforce matching user names and Kerberos principals. For the ad.example.com domain Enable GSSAPI authentication only for the sudo service. Do not enforce matching user names and principals. Additional resources Kerberos authentication indicators 20.10. Troubleshooting GSSAPI authentication for sudo If you are unable to authenticate to the sudo service with a Kerberos ticket from IdM, use the following scenarios to troubleshoot your configuration. Prerequisites You have enabled GSSAPI authentication for the sudo service. See Enabling GSSAPI authentication for sudo on an IdM client . You need root privileges to modify the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file and PAM files in the /etc/pam.d/ directory. Procedure If you see the following error, the Kerberos service might not able to resolve the correct realm for the service ticket based on the host name: In this situation, add the hostname directly to [domain_realm] section in the /etc/krb5.conf Kerberos configuration file: If you see the following error, you do not have any Kerberos credentials: In this situation, retrieve Kerberos credentials with the kinit utility or authenticate with SSSD: If you see either of the following errors in the /var/log/sssd/sssd_pam.log log file, the Kerberos credentials do not match the username of the user currently logged in: In this situation, verify that you authenticated with SSSD, or consider disabling the pam_gssapi_check_upn option in the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file: For additional troubleshooting, you can enable debugging output for the pam_sss_gss.so PAM module. Add the debug option at the end of all pam_sss_gss.so entries in PAM files, such as /etc/pam.d/sudo and /etc/pam.d/sudo-i : Try to authenticate with the pam_sss_gss.so module and review the console output. In this example, the user did not have any Kerberos credentials. 20.11. Using an Ansible playbook to ensure sudo access for an IdM user on an IdM client In Identity Management (IdM), you can ensure sudo access to a specific command is granted to an IdM user account on a specific IdM host. Complete this procedure to ensure a sudo rule named idm_user_reboot exists. The rule grants idm_user the permission to run the /usr/sbin/reboot command on the idmclient machine. Prerequisites You have configured your Ansible control node to meet the following requirements: You are using Ansible version 2.14 or later. You have installed the ansible-freeipa package. The example assumes that in the ~/ MyPlaybooks / directory, you have created an Ansible inventory file with the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the IdM server. The example assumes that the secret.yml Ansible vault stores your ipaadmin_password . The target node, that is the node on which the ansible-freeipa module is executed, is part of the IdM domain as an IdM client, server or replica. You have ensured the presence of a user account for idm_user in IdM and unlocked the account by creating a password for the user . For details on adding a new IdM user using the command line, see link: Adding users using the command line . No local idm_user account exists on idmclient . The idm_user user is not listed in the /etc/passwd file on idmclient . Procedure Create an inventory file, for example inventory.file , and define ipaservers in it: Add one or more sudo commands: Create an ensure-reboot-sudocmd-is-present.yml Ansible playbook that ensures the presence of the /usr/sbin/reboot command in the IdM database of sudo commands. To simplify this step, you can copy and modify the example in the /usr/share/doc/ansible-freeipa/playbooks/sudocmd/ensure-sudocmd-is-present.yml file: Run the playbook: Create a sudo rule that references the commands: Create an ensure-sudorule-for-idmuser-on-idmclient-is-present.yml Ansible playbook that uses the sudo command entry to ensure the presence of a sudo rule. The sudo rule allows idm_user to reboot the idmclient machine. To simplify this step, you can copy and modify the example in the /usr/share/doc/ansible-freeipa/playbooks/sudorule/ensure-sudorule-is-present.yml file: Run the playbook: Verification Test that the sudo rule whose presence you have ensured on the IdM server works on idmclient by verifying that idm_user can reboot idmclient using sudo . Note that it can take a few minutes for the changes made on the server to take effect on the client. Log in to idmclient as idm_user . Reboot the machine using sudo . Enter the password for idm_user when prompted: If sudo is configured correctly, the machine reboots.
