NAME

       sss_obfuscate - obfuscate a clear text password

SYNOPSIS

       sss_obfuscate [options] [PASSWORD]

DESCRIPTION

       sss_obfuscate converts a given password into human-unreadable format and places it into appropriate domain section of the SSSD config file.

       The cleartext password is read from standard input or entered interactively. The obfuscated password is put into "ldap_default_authtok"
       parameter of a given SSSD domain and the "ldap_default_authtok_type" parameter is set to "obfuscated_password". Refer to sssd-ldap(5) for
       more details on these parameters.

       Please note that obfuscating the password provides no real security benefit as it is still possible for an attacker to reverse-engineer the
       password back. Using better authentication mechanisms such as client side certificates or GSSAPI is strongly advised.

OPTIONS

       -h,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

       -s,--stdin
	   The password to obfuscate will be read from standard input.

       -d,--domain DOMAIN
	   The SSSD domain to use the password in. The default name is "default".

       -f,--file FILE
	   Read the config file specified by the positional parameter.

	   Default: /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

NAME

       pam_sss - PAM module for SSSD

SYNOPSIS

       pam_sss.so [quiet] [forward_pass] [use_first_pass] [use_authtok] [retry=N]

DESCRIPTION

       pam_sss.so is the PAM interface to the System Security Services daemon (SSSD). Errors and results are logged through syslog(3) with the
       LOG_AUTHPRIV facility.

OPTIONS

       quiet
	   Suppress log messages for unknown users.

       forward_pass
	   If forward_pass is set the entered password is put on the stack for other PAM modules to use.

       use_first_pass
	   The argument use_first_pass forces the module to use a previous stacked modules password and will never prompt the user - if no
	   password is available or the password is not appropriate, the user will be denied access.

       use_authtok
	   When password changing enforce the module to set the new password to the one provided by a previously stacked password module.

       retry=N
	   If specified the user is asked another N times for a password if authentication fails. Default is 0.

	   Please note that this option might not work as expected if the application calling PAM handles the user dialog on its own. A typical
	   example is sshd with PasswordAuthentication.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

       All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.

FILES

       If a password reset by root fails, because the corresponding SSSD provider does not support password resets, an individual message can be
       displayed. This message can e.g. contain instructions about how to reset a password.

       The message is read from the file pam_sss_pw_reset_message.LOC where LOC stands for a locale string returned by setlocale(3). If there is
       no matching file the content of pam_sss_pw_reset_message.txt is displayed. Root must be the owner of the files and only root may have read
       and write permissions while all other users must have only read permissions.

       These files are searched in the directory /etc/sssd/customize/DOMAIN_NAME/. If no matching file is present a generic message is displayed.
