SSH with LDAP Public Keys - a basic toolbox ------------------------------------------- The "mkgroup-sshlpk" (for "SSH Ldap Public Keys") is a set of two scripts that ease the integration of using directories of users in LDAP for logging in with SSH: mkgroup-sshlpk - generate SSH authorized keys files based on LDAP groups and users, including filtering on (DN-based) groups and attribute filters sshlpk-akfgen - generate dynamically per-user authorized keys files for use with the AuthorizedKeysCommand directive in the ssh server config The LDAP directory should follow RFC2307 guidance, the popular "openssh-lpk" schema (Mark Ruijter et al.), and use either the groupofNames or groupOfUniqueNames structure for members (uniqueMembers). Some defaults are set to correspond to the deployment at Nikhef, but all can trivially be changed using command-line options or the default config file (akfgen). mkgroup-sshlpk -------------- Generate a list of all unique sshPublicKeys for all members of the directory groups or uids specified on the command line. Usage: ./mkgroup-sshlpk [-h] [-c|--comand strin] [-H uri] [-b DITbase] [-o file] [-f] [-v[v]] RDN [RDN ...] -h Display this help text --uid|-u Retrieve also sshPublicKeys for uids besides also groups --filter=s Use an LDAP filter to limit results (applies recursively) (default: (objectclass=*)) NOTE: explicitly listed entries must all match filter -H uri Connect to LDAP server at (default: ldaps://ldap.nikhef.nl/) -b base Search base DIT for groups (default: dc=farmnet,dc=nikhef,dc=nl) -c prfx Prefix pre-pended to each line written. Any text in the original sshPublicKey attribute before the tokens " ssh-.sa " or " \d+ \d+ " is replaced. In the prefix itself, @UID@, @GID@, @UIDNUMBER@ are replaced -o file Writing list of sshPublicKeys to (only when at least one sshPublicKey is retrieved, unless -f is also specified) -f Force writing even if the list of keys is empty -q Quiet: do not warn about missing entries -U Add uidName and uidNumber as comment at and of each line RDN name of groups (or uids) to traverse for members (list) NOTE: it will search through the whole directory for these group names or uids (provided there are keys there) Example: mkgroup-sshlpk systemAdministrators mkgroup-sshlpk -u systemAdministrators z66 mkgroup-sshlpk -u systemAdministrators z66 mkgroup-sshlpk -c 'command="svnserve -t -r /project/srv/svn --tunnel-user=@UID@",no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty' -o ~svn/.ssh/authorized_keys nDPFSubversionUsers mkgroup-sshlpk -H ldaps://ldap.example.org/ -b dc=example,dc=org -o /root/.ssh/authorized_keys privilegedUsers and of course "mkgroup-sshlpk -q -u \*" will retrieve all keys from the directory ... Dependencies: perl-LDAP, and perl-IO-Socket-SSL & perl-Net-SSLeay for ldaps sshlpk-akfgen ------------- This tool - by its nature of generating output that must look like an ssh authorized_keys file - takes configuration from a configuration file (default: /usr/local/etc/sshlpk-akfgen.conf) The script includes a couple of safeguards to ensure that root (and similar users, as specified in the configuration file directive anchored regex $localaccounts) can login even if ldap is down and will ALWAYS use a local file, not LDAP. That's also safer for security reasons not to have unexpected ldap-based root login - if somebody manages to make a "uid=root" user in LDAP ... Use this command via the sshd_config file directives: AuthorizedKeysCommand /usr/local/sbin/sshlpk-akfgen AuthorizedKeysCommandUser root AuthorizedKeysFile /dev/null note that this needs root privs to read the local file for root login as per the description above. If you don't run this as root, it will not be able to read the (local) $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file for root (usually under /root/). Example /usr/local/etc/sshlpk-akfgen.conf: $localaccounts = '(root|apache)'; $ldapurl = 'ldaps://ldap.example.org/'; $ldapbase = 'dc=example,dc=org'; $localkeysfile = '%h/.ssh/authorized_keys'; $loginfo="authpriv.info"; By default, it will use the "/bin/logger" command to write its actions and failures to syslog, and expand "%u" and "%h" in the localkeysfile template.
