sssd gpo supports all what pam supports, so you can have users able to login locally , but not ssh or the other way round.

Why not change the login shell:

the user might be a web admin, so needs access to a range of linux boxes, running webservers, but not on the mail servers for example.
if you have to maintain a lot of machines, it is just easier and less error prone to also be able to manage the access from a central point.

This way, it is just a matter of moving the web servers in the right OU and all web admins have automatically access to the web servers, etc...

if you only have a few machines, you might as well change it on the machine itself.
In my specific situation: I create a lot of virtual machines from 1 or 2 templates
When I get sssd-ad and GPO working, I dont need any modification whatsoever. I just assign the machine to a specific department and all the right people have access to only their set of machines.

OK, what about user walking up to unix machine and logging in ? what about ssh ? wouldn't it be easier to just change the users login shell to /bin/false ?

There is a design document[1] for GPO and pdf attachement in mail[2]
contains "gpo data flow diagram".

All this information can be too technical.

OK, I'll believe you, now could someone explain how sssd can read a GPO that is supposed to (as far as I know) alter the registry on a windows machine and use those settings on a Linux machine that does have anything like a registry ?

Thought so, forget it, Linux knows absolutely nothing about GPO's

Yes I am Rowland, well it is a separate Policy specifically for linux machines.
