DESCRIPTION
authconfig provides a simple method of configuring /etc/sysconfig/network to handle
NIS, as well as /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, the files used for shadow password
support. Basic LDAP, Kerberos 5, and SMB (authentication) client configuration is
also provided.
The authconfig window contains a Cancel button by default. If --back is specified
at run time, a Back button is presented instead. If --test is specified, authconfig
can be run by users other then root, and any configuration changes are not saved.
If --nostart is specified (which is what the install program does), ypbind will not
be started or stopped immediately following program execution, but only enabled to
start or stop at boot time. if --kickstart is specified, no interactive screens
will be seen. The values the program will use will be those specified by the other
options (--enablemd5, --enableshadow, etc.).
The --enablenis, --enableldap, --enablewinbind, and --enablehesiod options are used
to configure user information services in /etc/nsswitch.conf, the --enablecache
option is used to configure naming services caching, and the --enableshadow,
--enablemd5, --enableldapauth, --enablekrb5, --enablewinbindauth, and --enablesm-
bauth options are used to configure authentication functions via /etc/pam.d/system-
auth. Each --enable has a matching --disable option that disables the service if
it is already enabled. The respective services have parameters which configure
their server names etc.
The --probe flag instructs authconfig to use DNS and other means to guess at con-
figuration information for the current host, print its guesses if it finds them to
standard output, and exit.
The default in kickstart mode (i.e. without any additional options) is to not
change the current settings.
RETURN CODES
authconfig returns 0 on success, 2 on error, and 1 if the user cancelled the pro-
gram (by using either the Cancel or Back button).
FILES
/etc/sysconfig/authconfig
Used to track whether or not particular authentication mechanisms are
enabled. Currently includes variables named USESHADOW, USEMD5,
USEKERBEROS, USELDAPAUTH, USESMBAUTH, USEWINBIND, USEWINBINDAUTH,
USEHESIOD, USENIS, USELDAP.
/etc/passwd,
Used for shadow password support.
/etc/yp.conf
Configuration file for NIS support.
/etc/sysconfig/network
Another configuration file for NIS support.
/etc/ldap.conf
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf Used to configure LDAP (and OpenLDAP, respec-
tively).
/etc/krb5.conf
Used to configure Kerberos 5.
/etc/krb.conf
Used to configure Kerberos IV (write-only).
/etc/hesiod.conf
Used to configure Hesiod.
/etc/pam_smb.conf
Used to configure SMB authentication.
/etc/samba/smb.conf
Used to configure winbind authentication.
/etc/nsswitch.conf
Used to configure user information services.
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
Used to configure PAM for system services via pam_stack(8).
