This role installs and configures tools to allow for AD authentication using sssd and kerberos. The user needs to specify variables in order to connect and in addition create a few OUs in ldap.

Setup

All variables are mandatory in order to create a successfull connection with AD.

ntp_servers: one or more NTP servers
dns_servers: one or more DNS servers
domain: your domain eg. acme.local
workgroup: acme
domain_ou: OU=Linux Servers,OU=Servers,OU=Infrastructure,OU=ACME,DC=acme,DC=local
aduser: ad bind account (ensure user has bind permission in ldap)
psw: "secret password"
adserver: ip address of AD server
sudo_ou: OU=sudoers,OU=Linux,OU=Global Security Groups,OU=ACME,DC=acme,DC=local
allow_users_groups:
  - root
  - (wheel)
  - system_admins (this could be your ldap group)

You can overwrite the variables in the group_vars or host_vars bases on your inventory structure.

Proxy

Optionally set the Proxy and whitelist no_proxy if needed, otherwise disable with proxy_env: {null:"null"} proxy_env: {'http_proxy': 'http://host.com:8080', 'https_proxy': 'http://host.com:8080', 'no_proxy': '.example.com'}

Examples

example playbook: Assuming you have a inventory group called prodRODC that attempts to connect to Read Only Domain Controller i.e. DMZ In this case you can run this Ansible role rodcKeytab(TODO) to create the keytab file and manually copy it to Linux.
