sssd-ifp SSSD InfoPipe responder

### DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes the configuration of the InfoPipe responder for sssd 8 . For a detailed syntax reference, refer to the FILE FORMAT section of the sssd.conf 5 manual page.

The InfoPipe responder provides a public D-Bus interface accessible over the system bus. The interface allows the user to query information about remote users and groups over the system bus.

### CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

These options can be used to configure the InfoPipe responder.

allowed_uids (string)

  Specifies the comma-separated list of UID values or user names that are allowed to access the InfoPipe responder. User names are resolved to UIDs at startup.

  Default: 0 (only the root user is allowed to access the InfoPipe responder)

  Please note that although the UID 0 is used as the default it will be overwritten with this option. If you still want to allow the root user to access the InfoPipe responder, which would be the typical case, you have to add 0 to the list of allowed UIDs as well.

user_attributes (string)

  Specifies the comma-separated list of white or blacklisted attributes.

  By default, the InfoPipe responder only allows the default set of POSIX attributes to be requested. This set is the same as returned by getpwnam 3 and includes:

  name

    user's login name

  uidNumber

    user ID

  gidNumber

    primary group ID

  gecos

    user information, typically full name

  homeDirectory

    home directory

  loginShell

    user shell

  It is possible to add another attribute to this set by using +attr_name or explicitly remove an attribute using -attr_name. For example, to allow telephoneNumber but deny loginShell, you would use the following configuration:

      user_attributes = +telephoneNumber, -loginShell

  Default: not set. Only the default set of POSIX attributes is allowed.

wildcart_limit (integer)

  Specifies an upper limit on the number of entries that are downloaded during a wildcard lookup that overrides caller-supplied limit.

  Default: 0 (let the caller set an upper limit)
