Authentication on CES nodes

  • 1.  Authentication on CES nodes

    Posted 16 hours ago

    Hi,

    I have a question regarding CES nodes (aka protocol nodes).

    We setup the AD authentication and, accordingly to this documentation, the sssd service has to be stopped:

    Authentication limitations

    However, we still need to allow authentication to some users using their central credentials that previously was going via PAM/sssd.

    I thought to configure PAM to use winbind, but the installation of samba-winbind-modules (that provides pam_winbind.so) is impossible due to conflicts with the gpfs.smb package.

    So, is there any way to configure authentication via central credentials on CES?


    Regards,

    Ivano
