NAME

       sssd-simple - the configuration file for SSSD's 'simple' access-control provider

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the configuration of the simple access-control provider for
       sssd(8). For a detailed syntax reference, refer to the “FILE FORMAT” section of the
       sssd.conf(5) manual page.

       The simple access provider grants or denies access based on an access or deny list of user
       or group names. The following rules apply:

       •   If all lists are empty, access is granted

       •   If any list is provided, the order of evaluation is allow,deny. This means that any
           matching deny rule will supersede any matched allow rule.

       •   If either or both "allow" lists are provided, all users are denied unless they appear
           in the list.

       •   If only "deny" lists are provided, all users are granted access unless they appear in
           the list.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       Refer to the section “DOMAIN SECTIONS” of the sssd.conf(5) manual page for details on the
       configuration of an SSSD domain.

       simple_allow_users (string)
           Comma separated list of users who are allowed to log in.

       simple_deny_users (string)
           Comma separated list of users who are explicitly denied access.

       simple_allow_groups (string)
           Comma separated list of groups that are allowed to log in. This applies only to groups
           within this SSSD domain. Local groups are not evaluated.

       simple_deny_groups (string)
           Comma separated list of groups that are explicitly denied access. This applies only to
           groups within this SSSD domain. Local groups are not evaluated.

       Specifying no values for any of the lists is equivalent to skipping it entirely. Beware of
       this while generating parameters for the simple provider using automated scripts.

       Please note that it is an configuration error if both, simple_allow_users and
       simple_deny_users, are defined.

EXAMPLE

       The following example assumes that SSSD is correctly configured and example.com is one of
       the domains in the [sssd] section. This examples shows only the simple access
       provider-specific options.

           [domain/example.com]
           access_provider = simple
           simple_allow_users = user1, user2

NOTES

       The complete group membership hierarchy is resolved before the access check, thus even
       nested groups can be included in the access lists. Please be aware that the
       “ldap_group_nesting_level” option may impact the results and should be set to a sufficient
       value. (sssd-ldap(5)) option.
