LDAP login

For LDAP based authentication and authorization SSSD is used. Copy the SSL certificates from your LDAP server to /etc/openldap/certs/ before continuing.

#install sssd and authconfig
yum install sssd-client sssd-common sssd-common-pac sssd-ldap sssd-proxy python-sssdconfig authconfig

#configure authentication
authconfig \
  --enablesssd \
  --enablesssdauth \
  --enablelocauthorize \
  #enable LDAP
  --enableldap \
  --enableldapauth \
  --ldapserver=ldaps://LDAP_SERVER:636 \
  --ldapbasedn=dc=YOUR_DOMAIN,dc=YOUR_TLD \
  --enablemkhomedir \
  --enablecachecreds \
  --update

If you do not allow anonymous bind, specify ldap_default_bind_dn and ldap_default_authtok in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf!
This will generate a sssd.conf like the following
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf

[domain/default]
autofs_provider = ldap
ldap_default_bind_dn = YOUR_BIND_DN
ldap_default_authtok_type = password
ldap_default_authtok = YOUR_BIND_DN_PASSWORD
ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
ldap_search_base = dc=YOUR_DOMAIN,dc=YOUR_TLD
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
ldap_tls_reqcert = allow
chpass_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldaps://LDAP_SERVER:636/
ldap_id_use_start_tls = True
cache_credentials = True
ldap_tls_cacertdir = /etc/openldap/cacerts
enumerate = True

[sssd]
services = nss, pam, autofs
config_file_version = 2
domains = default, ldap
debug_level = 9
[nss]
[pam]
[sudo]
[autofs]
[ssh]

Enable and restart the service

systemctl restart sssd
systemctl enable sssd

Adapt ldap.conf to reflect the config

URI ldaps://LDAP_SERVER:636
BASE dc=YOUR_DOMAIN,dc=YOUR_TLD
debug 10
#if you do not allow anonymous bind
binddn YOUR_BIND_DN
bindpw YOUR_BIND_DN_PASSWORD
#if you use tls
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/cacerts/CAcert.pem
SASL_NOCANON    on

Mount NFS shares

To separate local from LDAP users we mount user homes under /home/users.
For a unified skel directory we use the central one.

mkdir /home/users
rm -Rf /etc/skel/*
echo "NFS_SERVER:/exports/homes /home/users/ nfs rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
echo "NFS_SERVER:/exports/skel /etc/skel nfs ro,nosuid,noexec 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
mount /home/users
mount /etc/skel
