Configuring SSSD on Flatcar Container Linux

    Flatcar Container Linux ships with the System Security Services Daemon, allowing integration between Flatcar Container Linux and enterprise authentication services.

    Configuring SSSD

    Edit /etc/sssd/sssd.conf. This configuration file is fully documented here . For example, to configure SSSD to use an IPA server called ipa.example.com, sssd.conf should read:

    [sssd]
    config_file_version = 2
    services = nss, pam
    domains = LDAP
    [nss]
    [pam]
    [domain/LDAP]
    id_provider = ldap
    auth_provider = ldap
    ldap_schema = ipa
    ldap_uri = ldap://ipa.example.com
    

    Start SSSD

    sudo systemctl start sssd
    

    Make SSSD available on future reboots

    sudo systemctl enable sssd
