How to access SUDO rules in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, stored in IPA/IdM's LDAP Instance, offline with SSSD
Issue
- How do I access SUDO rules in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, stored in IPA/IdM's LDAP Instance, offline with SSSD ?
- How to cache sudo records (rules) using sssd, stored in IPA and use them offline when network is not available
- In the past, when using IPA/IdM's sudo feature, sudo rules became unavailable to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 IPA/IdM clients when the network went down or was removed.
- With release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 and IPA/IdM 3.0,
sssdcan now store the sudo rules and continue to serve them via the cache when network connectivity is unavailable. - Configure sssd for caching sudo rules and use them offline
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 (and later)
- IPA/IdM 3.0
