EnglishIntegrating LDAP users with CageFS involves a few steps to ensure that users authenticated via LDAP have their own isolated file system within the CageFS environment. Here's a general outline of the process:
-
Configure LDAP Authentication:
- Set up LDAP authentication on your system. This involves configuring the LDAP server, client, and any necessary authentication modules.
-
Configure PAM for CageFS:
-
Modify the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) configuration to include CageFS. This is usually done by adding an entry
/etc/pam.dfor CageFS. -
Create a new file or edit an existing file (e.g.,
/etc/pam.d/common-session) and add a line like:swift
-
-
-
session required pam_cagefs.so
-
-
Ensure NSS Switch is Configured for LDAP:
-
Make sure that the Name Service Switch (NSS) is configured to use LDAP for user information. This is usually done in
/etc/nsswitch.conf. -
Add or modify the
passwdandgrouplines to includeldap:makefile
-
-
-
passwd: files ldap group: files ldap
-
-
Add LDAP Users to CageFS:
-
Once LDAP authentication is set up, create a user that is authenticated via LDAP.
-
When you add an LDAP user, ensure that their home directory is within CageFS (e.g.,
/home/ldap_username).
-
-
Configure CageFS for LDAP Users:
- CageFS typically supports users managed by the system's user management tools. You may need to adjust the CageFS configuration to work with LDAP users. Consult the CageFS documentation or support resources for specific instructions.
-
Verify CageFS Integration:
- Log in as an LDAP user and verify that they are placed within the CageFS environment and have access only to their own files.
-
Test Access to Shared Resources:
- If you have shared directories (outside of CageFS) that you want LDAP users to access, make sure that they are properly mounted into the CageFS environment (as described in the previous response).
-
Set Permissions (if necessary):
- Ensure that the permissions for the shared directories and any other necessary resources are set correctly so that LDAP users can access them.
-
Regular Maintenance:
- Keep an eye on system logs and perform regular checks to ensure that the integration is working as expected.
Remember to thoroughly test any changes in a controlled environment before applying them in a production setting. Additionally, consult the documentation for your specific LDAP implementation and CageFS for any platform-specific instructions.
