NAME
sudoers.ldap — sudo LDAP configuration
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the standard sudoers file, sudo may be configured via LDAP. This can be
especially useful for synchronizing sudoers in a large, distributed environment.
Using LDAP for sudoers has several benefits:
• sudo no longer needs to read sudoers in its entirety. When LDAP is used, there are only
two or three LDAP queries per invocation. This makes it especially fast and
particularly usable in LDAP environments.
• sudo no longer exits if there is a typo in sudoers. It is not possible to load LDAP
data into the server that does not conform to the sudoers schema, so proper syntax is
guaranteed. It is still possible to have typos in a user or host name, but this will
not prevent sudo from running.
• It is possible to specify per-entry options that override the global default options.
/etc/sudoers only supports default options and limited options associated with
user/host/commands/aliases. The syntax is complicated and can be difficult for users to
understand. Placing the options directly in the entry is more natural.
• The visudo program is no longer needed. visudo provides locking and syntax checking of
the /etc/sudoers file. Since LDAP updates are atomic, locking is no longer necessary.
Because syntax is checked when the data is inserted into LDAP, there is no need for a
specialized tool to check syntax.
Another major difference between LDAP and file-based sudoers is that in LDAP, sudo-specific
Aliases are not supported.
For the most part, there is really no need for sudo-specific Aliases. Unix groups, non-Unix
groups (via the group_plugin) or user netgroups can be used in place of User_Aliases and
Runas_Aliases. Host netgroups can be used in place of Host_Aliases. Since groups and
netgroups can also be stored in LDAP there is no real need for sudo-specific aliases.
Cmnd_Aliases are not really required either since it is possible to have multiple users
listed in a sudoRole. Instead of defining a Cmnd_Alias that is referenced by multiple
users, one can create a sudoRole that contains the commands and assign multiple users to it.
SUDOers LDAP container
The sudoers configuration is contained in the ou=SUDOers LDAP container.
Sudo first looks for the cn=default entry in the SUDOers container. If found, the multi-
valued sudoOption attribute is parsed in the same manner as a global Defaults line in
/etc/sudoers. In the following example, the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable will be preserved in the
environment for all users.
dn: cn=defaults,ou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: sudoRole
cn: defaults
description: Default sudoOption's go here
sudoOption: env_keep+=SSH_AUTH_SOCK
The equivalent of a sudoer in LDAP is a sudoRole. It consists of the following attributes:
sudoUser
A user name, user ID (prefixed with ‘#’), Unix group name or ID (prefixed with ‘%’ or
‘%#’ respectively), user netgroup (prefixed with ‘+’), or non-Unix group name or ID
(prefixed with ‘%:’ or ‘%:#’ respectively). Non-Unix group support is only available
when an appropriate group_plugin is defined in the global defaults sudoRole object.
sudoHost
A host name, IP address, IP network, or host netgroup (prefixed with a ‘+’). The
special value ALL will match any host.
sudoCommand
A fully-qualified Unix command name with optional command line arguments, potentially
including globbing characters (aka wild cards). If a command name is preceded by an
exclamation point, ‘!’, the user will be prohibited from running that command.
The built-in command “sudoedit” is used to permit a user to run sudo with the -e
option (or as sudoedit). It may take command line arguments just as a normal command
does. Note that “sudoedit” is a command built into sudo itself and must be specified
in without a leading path.
The special value ALL will match any command.
If a command name is prefixed with a SHA-2 digest, it will only be allowed if the
digest matches. This may be useful in situations where the user invoking sudo has
write access to the command or its parent directory. The following digest formats are
supported: sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512. The digest name must be followed by a
colon (‘:’) and then the actual digest, in either hex or base64 format. For example,
given the following value for sudoCommand:
sha224:0GomF8mNN3wlDt1HD9XldjJ3SNgpFdbjO1+NsQ /bin/ls
The user may only run /bin/ls if its sha224 digest matches the specified value.
Command digests are only supported by version 1.8.7 or higher.
sudoOption
Identical in function to the global options described above, but specific to the
sudoRole in which it resides.
sudoRunAsUser
A user name or uid (prefixed with ‘#’) that commands may be run as or a Unix group
(prefixed with a ‘%’) or user netgroup (prefixed with a ‘+’) that contains a list of
users that commands may be run as. The special value ALL will match any user.
The sudoRunAsUser attribute is only available in sudo versions 1.7.0 and higher.
Older versions of sudo use the sudoRunAs attribute instead.
sudoRunAsGroup
A Unix group or gid (prefixed with ‘#’) that commands may be run as. The special
value ALL will match any group.
The sudoRunAsGroup attribute is only available in sudo versions 1.7.0 and higher.
sudoNotBefore
A timestamp in the form yyyymmddHHMMSSZ that can be used to provide a start date/time
for when the sudoRole will be valid. If multiple sudoNotBefore entries are present,
the earliest is used. Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC), not the local timezone. The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some
LDAP servers require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
The sudoNotBefore attribute is only available in sudo versions 1.7.5 and higher and
must be explicitly enabled via the SUDOERS_TIMED option in /etc/sudo-ldap.conf.
sudoNotAfter
A timestamp in the form yyyymmddHHMMSSZ that indicates an expiration date/time, after
which the sudoRole will no longer be valid. If multiple sudoNotBefore entries are
present, the last one is used. Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC), not the local timezone. The minute and seconds portions are optional, but
some LDAP servers require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
The sudoNotAfter attribute is only available in sudo versions 1.7.5 and higher and
must be explicitly enabled via the SUDOERS_TIMED option in /etc/sudo-ldap.conf.
sudoOrder
The sudoRole entries retrieved from the LDAP directory have no inherent order. The
sudoOrder attribute is an integer (or floating point value for LDAP servers that
support it) that is used to sort the matching entries. This allows LDAP-based sudoers
entries to more closely mimic the behavior of the sudoers file, where the of the
entries influences the result. If multiple entries match, the entry with the highest
sudoOrder attribute is chosen. This corresponds to the “last match” behavior of the
sudoers file. If the sudoOrder attribute is not present, a value of 0 is assumed.
The sudoOrder attribute is only available in sudo versions 1.7.5 and higher.
Each attribute listed above should contain a single value, but there may be multiple
instances of each attribute type. A sudoRole must contain at least one sudoUser, sudoHost
and sudoCommand.
The following example allows users in group wheel to run any command on any host via sudo:
dn: cn=%wheel,ou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: sudoRole
cn: %wheel
sudoUser: %wheel
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
Anatomy of LDAP sudoers lookup
When looking up a sudoer using LDAP there are only two or three LDAP queries per invocation.
The first query is to parse the global options. The second is to match against the user's
name and the groups that the user belongs to. (The special ALL tag is matched in this query
too.) If no match is returned for the user's name and groups, a third query returns all
entries containing user netgroups and checks to see if the user belongs to any of them.
If timed entries are enabled with the SUDOERS_TIMED configuration directive, the LDAP
queries include a sub-filter that limits retrieval to entries that satisfy the time
constraints, if any.
Differences between LDAP and non-LDAP sudoers
There are some subtle differences in the way sudoers is handled once in LDAP. Probably the
biggest is that according to the RFC, LDAP ordering is arbitrary and you cannot expect that
Attributes and Entries are returned in any specific order.
The order in which different entries are applied can be controlled using the sudoOrder
attribute, but there is no way to guarantee the order of attributes within a specific entry.
If there are conflicting command rules in an entry, the negative takes precedence. This is
called paranoid behavior (not necessarily the most specific match).
Here is an example:
# /etc/sudoers:
# Allow all commands except shell
johnny ALL=(root) ALL,!/bin/sh
# Always allows all commands because ALL is matched last
puddles ALL=(root) !/bin/sh,ALL
# LDAP equivalent of johnny
# Allows all commands except shell
dn: cn=role1,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectClass: sudoRole
objectClass: top
cn: role1
sudoUser: johnny
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
# LDAP equivalent of puddles
# Notice that even though ALL comes last, it still behaves like
# role1 since the LDAP code assumes the more paranoid configuration
dn: cn=role2,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectClass: sudoRole
objectClass: top
cn: role2
sudoUser: puddles
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
sudoCommand: ALL
Another difference is that negations on the Host, User or Runas are currently ignored. For
example, the following attributes do not behave the way one might expect.
# does not match all but joe
# rather, does not match anyone
sudoUser: !joe
# does not match all but joe
# rather, matches everyone including Joe
sudoUser: ALL
sudoUser: !joe
# does not match all but web01
# rather, matches all hosts including web01
sudoHost: ALL
sudoHost: !web01
Sudoers schema
In order to use sudo's LDAP support, the sudo schema must be installed on your LDAP server.
In addition, be sure to index the sudoUser attribute.
Three versions of the schema: one for OpenLDAP servers (schema.OpenLDAP), one for Netscape-
derived servers (schema.iPlanet), and one for Microsoft Active Directory
(schema.ActiveDirectory) may be found in the sudo distribution.
The schema for sudo in OpenLDAP form is also included in the EXAMPLES section.
Configuring ldap.conf
Sudo reads the /etc/sudo-ldap.conf file for LDAP-specific configuration. Typically, this
file is shared between different LDAP-aware clients. As such, most of the settings are not
sudo-specific. Note that sudo parses /etc/sudo-ldap.conf itself and may support options that
differ from those described in the system's ldap.conf(8) manual. The path to ldap.conf may
be overridden via the ldap_conf plugin argument in sudo.conf(5).
Also note that on systems using the OpenLDAP libraries, default values specified in
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf or the user's .ldaprc files are not used.
Only those options explicitly listed in /etc/sudo-ldap.conf as being supported by sudo are
honored. Configuration options are listed below in upper case but are parsed in a case-
independent manner.
The pound sign (‘#’) is used to indicate a comment. Both the comment character and any text
after it, up to the end of the line, are ignored. Long lines can be continued with a
backslash (‘\’) as the last character on the line. Note that leading white space is removed
from the beginning of lines even when the continuation character is used.
URI ldap[s]://[hostname[:port]] ...
Specifies a white space-delimited list of one or more URIs describing the LDAP
server(s) to connect to. The protocol may be either ldap ldaps, the latter being for
servers that support TLS (SSL) encryption. If no port is specified, the default is
port 389 for ldap:// or port 636 for ldaps://. If no hostname is specified, sudo will
connect to localhost. Multiple URI lines are treated identically to a URI line
containing multiple entries. Only systems using the OpenSSL libraries support the
mixing of ldap:// and ldaps:// URIs. Both the Netscape-derived and Tivoli LDAP
libraries used on most commercial versions of Unix are only capable of supporting one
or the other.
HOST name[:port] ...
If no URI is specified, the HOST parameter specifies a white space-delimited list of
LDAP servers to connect to. Each host may include an optional port separated by a
colon (‘:’). The HOST parameter is deprecated in favor of the URI specification and
is included for backwards compatibility.
PORT port_number
If no URI is specified, the PORT parameter specifies the default port to connect to on
the LDAP server if a HOST parameter does not specify the port itself. If no PORT
parameter is used, the default is port 389 for LDAP and port 636 for LDAP over TLS
(SSL). The PORT parameter is deprecated in favor of the URI specification and is
included for backwards compatibility.
BIND_TIMELIMIT seconds
The BIND_TIMELIMIT parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait while
trying to connect to an LDAP server. If multiple URIs or HOSTs are specified, this is
the amount of time to wait before trying the next one in the list.
NETWORK_TIMEOUT seconds
An alias for BIND_TIMELIMIT for OpenLDAP compatibility.
TIMELIMIT seconds
The TIMELIMIT parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a
response to an LDAP query.
TIMEOUT seconds
The TIMEOUT parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a response
from the various LDAP APIs.
SUDOERS_BASE base
The base DN to use when performing sudo LDAP queries. Typically this is of the form
ou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com for the domain example.com. Multiple SUDOERS_BASE lines
may be specified, in which case they are queried in the order specified.
SUDOERS_SEARCH_FILTER ldap_filter
An LDAP filter which is used to restrict the set of records returned when performing a
sudo LDAP query. Typically, this is of the form attribute=value or
(&(attribute=value)(attribute2=value2)).
SUDOERS_TIMED on/true/yes/off/false/no
Whether or not to evaluate the sudoNotBefore and sudoNotAfter attributes that
implement time-dependent sudoers entries.
SUDOERS_DEBUG debug_level
This sets the debug level for sudo LDAP queries. Debugging information is printed to
the standard error. A value of 1 results in a moderate amount of debugging
information. A value of 2 shows the results of the matches themselves. This
parameter should not be set in a production environment as the extra information is
likely to confuse users.
The SUDOERS_DEBUG parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
The same information is now logged via the sudo debugging framework using the “ldap”
subsystem at priorities diag and info for debug_level values 1 and 2 respectively.
See the sudo.conf(5) manual for details on how to configure sudo debugging.
BINDDN DN
The BINDDN parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a Distinguished Name (DN),
to use when performing LDAP operations. If not specified, LDAP operations are
performed with an anonymous identity. By default, most LDAP servers will allow
anonymous access.
BINDPW secret
The BINDPW parameter specifies the password to use when performing LDAP operations.
This is typically used in conjunction with the BINDDN parameter.
ROOTBINDDN DN
The ROOTBINDDN parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a Distinguished Name
(DN), to use when performing privileged LDAP operations, such as sudoers queries. The
password corresponding to the identity should be stored in the or the path specified
by the ldap_secret plugin argument in sudo.conf(5), which defaults to
/etc/ldap.secret. If no ROOTBINDDN is specified, the BINDDN identity is used (if
any).
LDAP_VERSION number
The version of the LDAP protocol to use when connecting to the server. The default
value is protocol version 3.
SSL on/true/yes/off/false/no
If the SSL parameter is set to on, true or yes, TLS (SSL) encryption is always used
when communicating with the LDAP server. Typically, this involves connecting to the
server on port 636 (ldaps).
SSL start_tls
If the SSL parameter is set to start_tls, the LDAP server connection is initiated
normally and TLS encryption is begun before the bind credentials are sent. This has
the advantage of not requiring a dedicated port for encrypted communications. This
parameter is only supported by LDAP servers that honor the start_tls extension, such
as the OpenLDAP and Tivoli Directory servers.
TLS_CHECKPEER on/true/yes/off/false/no
If enabled, TLS_CHECKPEER will cause the LDAP server's TLS certificated to be
verified. If the server's TLS certificate cannot be verified (usually because it is
signed by an unknown certificate authority), sudo will be unable to connect to it. If
TLS_CHECKPEER is disabled, no check is made. Note that disabling the check creates an
opportunity for man-in-the-middle attacks since the server's identity will not be
authenticated. If possible, the CA's certificate should be installed locally so it
can be verified. This option is not supported by the Tivoli Directory Server LDAP
libraries.
TLS_CACERT file name
An alias for TLS_CACERTFILE for OpenLDAP compatibility.
TLS_CACERTFILE file name
The path to a certificate authority bundle which contains the certificates for all the
Certificate Authorities the client knows to be valid, e.g. /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem.
This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries. Netscape-derived LDAP
libraries use the same certificate database for CA and client certificates (see
TLS_CERT).
TLS_CACERTDIR directory
Similar to TLS_CACERTFILE but instead of a file, it is a directory containing
individual Certificate Authority certificates, e.g. /etc/ssl/certs. The directory
specified by TLS_CACERTDIR is checked after TLS_CACERTFILE. This option is only
supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
TLS_CERT file name
The path to a file containing the client certificate which can be used to authenticate
the client to the LDAP server. The certificate type depends on the LDAP libraries
used.
OpenLDAP:
tls_cert /etc/ssl/client_cert.pem
Netscape-derived:
tls_cert /var/ldap/cert7.db
Tivoli Directory Server:
Unused, the key database specified by TLS_KEY contains both keys and
certificates.
When using Netscape-derived libraries, this file may also contain Certificate
Authority certificates.
TLS_KEY file name
The path to a file containing the private key which matches the certificate specified
by TLS_CERT. The private key must not be password-protected. The key type depends on
the LDAP libraries used.
OpenLDAP:
tls_key /etc/ssl/client_key.pem
Netscape-derived:
tls_key /var/ldap/key3.db
Tivoli Directory Server:
tls_key /usr/ldap/ldapkey.kdb
When using Tivoli LDAP libraries, this file may also contain Certificate Authority and
client certificates and may be encrypted.
TLS_KEYPW secret
The TLS_KEYPW contains the password used to decrypt the key database on clients using
the Tivoli Directory Server LDAP library. This should be a simple string without
quotes. The password may not include the comment character (‘#’) and escaping of
special characters with a backslash (‘\’) is not supported. If this option is used,
/etc/sudo-ldap.conf must not be world-readable to avoid exposing the password.
Alternately, a stash file can be used to store the password in encrypted form (see
below).
If no TLS_KEYPW is specified, a stash file will be used if it exists. The stash file
must have the same path as the file specified by TLS_KEY, but use a .sth file
extension instead of .kdb, e.g. ldapkey.sth. The default ldapkey.kdb that ships with
Tivoli Directory Server is encrypted with the password ssl_password. The gsk8capicmd
utility can be used to manage the key database and create a stash file. This option
is only supported by the Tivoli LDAP libraries.
TLS_RANDFILE file name
The TLS_RANDFILE parameter specifies the path to an entropy source for systems that
lack a random device. It is generally used in conjunction with prngd or egd. This
option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
TLS_CIPHERS cipher list
The TLS_CIPHERS parameter allows the administer to restrict which encryption
algorithms may be used for TLS (SSL) connections. See the OpenLDAP or Tivoli
Directory Server manual for a list of valid ciphers. This option is not supported by
Netscape-derived libraries.
USE_SASL on/true/yes/off/false/no
Enable USE_SASL for LDAP servers that support SASL authentication.
SASL_AUTH_ID identity
The SASL user name to use when connecting to the LDAP server. By default, sudo will
use an anonymous connection.
ROOTUSE_SASL on/true/yes/off/false/no
Enable ROOTUSE_SASL to enable SASL authentication when connecting to an LDAP server
from a privileged process, such as sudo.
ROOTSASL_AUTH_ID identity
The SASL user name to use when ROOTUSE_SASL is enabled.
SASL_SECPROPS none/properties
SASL security properties or none for no properties. See the SASL programmer's manual
for details.
KRB5_CCNAME file name
The path to the Kerberos 5 credential cache to use when authenticating with the remote
server.
DEREF never/searching/finding/always
How alias dereferencing is to be performed when searching. See the ldap.conf(8)
manual for a full description of this option.
See the ldap.conf entry in the EXAMPLES section.
Configuring nsswitch.conf
Unless it is disabled at build time, sudo consults the Name Service Switch file,
/etc/nsswitch.conf, to specify the sudoers search order. Sudo looks for a line beginning
with sudoers: and uses this to determine the search order. Note that sudo does not stop
searching after the first match and later matches take precedence over earlier ones. The
following sources are recognized:
files read sudoers from /etc/sudoers
ldap read sudoers from LDAP
In addition, the entry [NOTFOUND=return] will short-circuit the search if the user was not
found in the preceding source.
To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it exists), use:
sudoers: ldap files
The local sudoers file can be ignored completely by using:
sudoers: ldap
If the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is not present or there is no sudoers line, the following
default is assumed:
sudoers: files
Note that /etc/nsswitch.conf is supported even when the underlying operating system does not
use an nsswitch.conf file, except on AIX (see below).
Configuring netsvc.conf
On AIX systems, the /etc/netsvc.conf file is consulted instead of /etc/nsswitch.conf. sudo
simply treats netsvc.conf as a variant of nsswitch.conf; information in the previous section
unrelated to the file format itself still applies.
To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it exists), use:
sudoers = ldap, files
The local sudoers file can be ignored completely by using:
sudoers = ldap
To treat LDAP as authoritative and only use the local sudoers file if the user is not
present in LDAP, use:
sudoers = ldap = auth, files
Note that in the above example, the auth qualifier only affects user lookups; both LDAP and
sudoers will be queried for Defaults entries.
If the /etc/netsvc.conf file is not present or there is no sudoers line, the following
default is assumed:
sudoers = files
FILES
/etc/sudo-ldap.conf LDAP configuration file
/etc/nsswitch.conf determines sudoers source order
/etc/netsvc.conf determines sudoers source order on AIX

# not a file name.
#
# The certificate database specified by tls_cert may contain CA certs
