How to access SUDO rules in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, stored in IPA/IdM's LDAP Instance, offline with SSSD

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • How do I access SUDO rules in RHEL 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 RHEL6 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, sssd can 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
  • sssd-1.9.2 (or later)
  • libsss_sudo
