SSSD to authenticate Linux admins with AD. Any opportunity to port SSSD for
support for AIX 6.x/7.x?
We (sssd developers) do not have an access to machines with AIX.
I had a conversation with some user on IRC few months ago
and the basic functionality (ldap + krb5) should not be problem to port
because winbind works on AIX. However you mentioned you would like to
authenticate with Active Directory. So if you would like to use ad provider
(or ipa provider with trust) then recent versions of some projects are
required (samba, kerberos ...).
sssd has many features optional. That's the reason why sssd works also on
FreeBSD but it would be good to know version of basic libraries on AIX.
samba libraries (libtalloc libtevent libtdb libldb)
- and libraries from samba4 are required for ad provider)
dbus library
nss or openssl (one of them is required)
kerberos (sssd works fine with MIT kerberos >= 1.9)
c-ares (C library for asynchronous DNS requests )
glib2 or libunistring
