ad_access_filter and splitting group listing with backslash

[TomK]

Hey All,

Given this example below which spans the entire line:

ad_access_filter = (|(memberOf=CN=group-of 
-admins,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah)(memberOf=CN=group-of 
-managers,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah)(memberOf=CN=group-of 
-minions,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah)(memberOf=CN=group-of 
-analysts,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah)(memberOf=CN=group-of 
-limited,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah)(memberOf=CN=group-of 
-viewers,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah))

Has anyone tried to use a backslash to split the line like this?

ad_access_filter = (| \
(memberOf=CN=group-of-admins,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah) \
(memberOf=CN=group-of-managers,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah) \
(memberOf=CN=group-of-minions,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah) \
(memberOf=CN=group-of-analysts,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah) \
(memberOf=CN=group-of-limited,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah) \
(memberOf=CN=group-of-viewers,OU=XYZ,DC=blah,DC=blah,DC=blah))

Or would the backslashes get interpreted when SSSD reads the file?

FYI tested this and though it doesn’t work for ad_access_filter it does for the ldap_access_filter .   Any reason why one works but not the other?

Cheers,
Tom

Hi,

I would like to see logs in this case in order to
undrestand where the issue may be.

If the sssd does not even start and logs show that the option
could not be parsed then it could be an issue in libini.

If it fails later then maybe we handle the multiline option
badly in SSSD.

Also I am not sure what 'doesn't work' in this context means. Is
the filter not effective or is SSSD failing to start/do some
operation?

Thanks,
Michal

To put a little more context, the only difference between the
ldap_access_filter and ad_access_filter should be that the former use
whatever ldap authentiation you configure (bind DN, SASL GSSAPI, ...)
and the latter re-uses the GSSAPI authenticated connection that the ID
provider uses.
