How to apply password policy on computer accounts of Red Hat Enterprise Linux system joined to the Active Directory Server?
Issue
- Often with Active Directory a Kerberos host keytab is needed to bind with
SASL/GSSAPIforLDAPoperations. On many sites security policies do not allow never-expiring passwords so the keytab needs to renewed eventually, currently requiring manual steps to obtain a new keytab.SSSDshould support automated renewal of Kerberos host keytabs asSamba/Winbinddoes. - Is it possible to set password expiry policy to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system computer accounts created in the Active Directory Server?
- When computer accounts are created using
realm(oradclion RHEL 6), their passwords are set to never expire. RHEL systems should have passwords recycled just like any other Windows client.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x
