NAME
     sudoers.ldap -- sudo LDAP configuration
DESCRIPTION
     In addition to the standard sudoers file, sudo may be configured via
     LDAP.  This can be especially useful for synchronizing sudoers in a
     large, distributed environment.
     Using LDAP for sudoers has several benefits:
     o  sudo no longer needs to read sudoers in its entirety.  When LDAP is
        used, there are only two or three LDAP queries per invocation.  This
        makes it especially fast and particularly usable in LDAP environments.
     o  sudo no longer exits if there is a typo in sudoers.  It is not possi-
        ble to load LDAP data into the server that does not conform to the
        sudoers schema, so proper syntax is guaranteed.  It is still possible
        to have typos in a user or host name, but this will not prevent sudo
        from running.
     o  It is possible to specify per-entry options that override the global
        default options.  /etc/sudoers only supports default options and lim-
        ited options associated with user/host/commands/aliases.  The syntax
        is complicated and can be difficult for users to understand.  Placing
        the options directly in the entry is more natural.
     o  The visudo program is no longer needed.  visudo provides locking and
        syntax checking of the /etc/sudoers file.  Since LDAP updates are
        atomic, locking is no longer necessary.  Because syntax is checked
        when the data is inserted into LDAP, there is no need for a special-
        ized tool to check syntax.
   SUDOers LDAP container
     The sudoers configuration is contained in the ou=SUDOers LDAP container.
     Sudo first looks for the cn=defaults entry in the SUDOers container.  If
     found, the multi-valued sudoOption attribute is parsed in the same manner
     as a global Defaults line in /etc/sudoers.  In the following example, the
     SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable will be preserved in the environment for all
     users.
         dn: cn=defaults,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
         objectClass: top
         objectClass: sudoRole
         cn: defaults

         sudoOption: env_keep+=SSH_AUTH_SOCK
     The equivalent of a sudoer in LDAP is a sudoRole.  It consists of the
     following attributes:
     sudoUser
           A user name, user ID (prefixed with `#'), Unix group name or ID
           (prefixed with `%' or `%#' respectively), user netgroup (prefixed
           with `+'), or non-Unix group name or ID (prefixed with `%:' or
           `%:#' respectively).  User netgroups are matched using the user and
           domain members only; the host member is not used when matching.
           Non-Unix group support is only available when an appropriate
           group_plugin is defined in the global defaults sudoRole object.
     sudoHost
           A host name, IP address, IP network, or host netgroup (prefixed
           with a `+').  The special value ALL will match any host.  Host net-
           groups are matched using the host (both qualified and unqualified)
           and domain members only; the user member is not used when matching.
           If a sudoHost entry is preceded by an exclamation point, `!', and
           the entry matches, the sudoRole in which it resides will be
           ignored.  Negated sudoHost entries are only supported by version
           1.8.18 or higher.
     sudoCommand
           A fully-qualified Unix command name with optional command line
           arguments, potentially including globbing characters (aka wild
           cards).  If a command name is preceded by an exclamation point,
           `!', the user will be prohibited from running that command.
           The built-in command ``sudoedit'' is used to permit a user to run
           sudo with the -e option (or as sudoedit).  It may take command line
           arguments just as a normal command does.  Note that ``sudoedit'' is
           a command built into sudo itself and must be specified in without a
           leading path.
           The special value ALL will match any command.
           If a command name is prefixed with a SHA-2 digest, it will only be
           allowed if the digest matches.  This may be useful in situations
           where the user invoking sudo has write access to the command or its
           parent directory.  The following digest formats are supported:
           sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512.  The digest name must be fol-
           lowed by a colon (`:') and then the actual digest, in either hex or
           base64 format.  For example, given the following value for sudoCom-
           mand:
               sha224:0GomF8mNN3wlDt1HD9XldjJ3SNgpFdbjO1+NsQ /bin/ls
           The user may only run /bin/ls if its sha224 digest matches the
           specified value.  Command digests are only supported by version
           1.8.7 or higher.
     sudoOption
           Identical in function to the global options described above, but
           specific to the sudoRole in which it resides.
     sudoRunAsUser
           A user name or uid (prefixed with `#') that commands may be run as
           or a Unix group (prefixed with a `%') or user netgroup (prefixed
           with a `+') that contains a list of users that commands may be run
           as.  The special value ALL will match any user.  If sudoRunAsUser
           is specified but empty, it will match the invoking user.  If nei-
           ther sudoRunAsUser nor sudoRunAsGroup are present, the value of the
           `runas_default' sudoOption is used (defaults to root ).
           The sudoRunAsUser attribute is only available in sudo versions
           1.7.0 and higher.  Older versions of sudo use the sudoRunAs
           attribute instead.
     sudoRunAsGroup
           A Unix group or gid (prefixed with `#') that commands may be run
           as.  The special value ALL will match any group.
           The sudoRunAsGroup attribute is only available in sudo versions
           1.7.0 and higher.
     sudoNotBefore
           A timestamp in the form yyyymmddHHMMSSZ that can be used to provide
           a start date/time for when the sudoRole will be valid.  If multiple
           sudoNotBefore entries are present, the earliest is used.  Note that
           timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), not the
           local timezone.  The minute and seconds portions are optional, but
           some LDAP servers require that they be present (contrary to the
           RFC).
           The sudoNotBefore attribute is only available in sudo versions
           1.7.5 and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the
           SUDOERS_TIMED option in /etc/sudo-ldap.conf.
     sudoNotAfter
           A timestamp in the form yyyymmddHHMMSSZ that indicates an expira-
           tion date/time, after which the sudoRole will no longer be valid.
           If multiple sudoNotAfter entries are present, the last one is used.
           Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
           not the local timezone.  The minute and seconds portions are
           optional, but some LDAP servers require that they be present (con-
           trary to the RFC).
           The sudoNotAfter attribute is only available in sudo versions 1.7.5
           and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the SUDOERS_TIMED
           option in /etc/sudo-ldap.conf.
     sudoOrder
           The sudoRole entries retrieved from the LDAP directory have no
           inherent order.  The sudoOrder attribute is an integer (or floating
           point value for LDAP servers that support it) that is used to sort
           the matching entries.  This allows LDAP-based sudoers entries to
           more closely mimic the behavior of the sudoers file, where the
           order of the entries influences the result.  If multiple entries
           match, the entry with the highest sudoOrder attribute is chosen.
           This corresponds to the ``last match'' behavior of the sudoers
           file.  If the sudoOrder attribute is not present, a value of 0 is
           assumed.
           The sudoOrder attribute is only available in sudo versions 1.7.5
           and higher.
     Each attribute listed above should contain a single value, but there may
     be multiple instances of each attribute type.  A sudoRole must contain at
     least one sudoUser, sudoHost and sudoCommand.
     The following example allows users in group wheel to run any command on
     any host via sudo:
         dn: cn=%wheel,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
         objectClass: top
         objectClass: sudoRole
         cn: %wheel
         sudoUser: %wheel
         sudoHost: ALL
         sudoCommand: ALL
   Anatomy of LDAP sudoers lookup
     When looking up a sudoer using LDAP there are only two or three LDAP
     queries per invocation.  The first query is to parse the global options.
     The second is to match against the user's name and the groups that the
     user belongs to.  (The special ALL tag is matched in this query too.)  If
     no match is returned for the user's name and groups, a third query
     returns all entries containing user netgroups and other non-Unix groups
     and checks to see if the user belongs to any of them.
     If timed entries are enabled with the SUDOERS_TIMED configuration direc-
     tive, the LDAP queries include a sub-filter that limits retrieval to
     entries that satisfy the time constraints, if any.
     If the NETGROUP_BASE configuration directive is present (see Configuring
     ldap.conf below), queries are performed to determine the list of net-
     groups the user belongs to before the sudoers query.  This makes it pos-
     sible to include netgroups in the sudoers query string in the same manner
     as Unix groups.  The third query mentioned above is not performed unless
     a group provider plugin is also configured.  The actual LDAP queries per-
     formed by sudo are as follows:
     1.   Match all nisNetgroup records with a nisNetgroupTriple containing
          the user, host and NIS domain.  The query will match
          nisNetgroupTriple entries with either the short or long form of the
          host name or no host name specified in the tuple.  If the NIS domain
          is set, the query will match only match entries that include the
          domain or for which there is no domain present.  If the NIS domain
          is not set, a wildcard is used to match any domain name but be aware
          that the NIS schema used by some LDAP servers may not support wild
          cards for nisNetgroupTriple.
     2.   Repeated queries are performed to find any nested nisNetgroup
          records with a memberNisNetgroup entry that refers to an already-
          matched record.
     For sites with a large number of netgroups, using NETGROUP_BASE can sig-
     nificantly speed up sudo's execution time.
   Differences between LDAP and non-LDAP sudoers
     One of the major differences between LDAP and file-based sudoers is that
     in LDAP, sudo-specific Aliases are not supported.
     For the most part, there is little need for sudo-specific Aliases.  Unix
     groups, non-Unix groups (via the group_plugin) or user netgroups can be
     used in place of User_Aliases and Runas_Aliases.  Host netgroups can be
     used in place of Host_Aliases.  Since groups and netgroups can also be
     stored in LDAP there is no real need for sudo-specific aliases.
     There are also some subtle differences in the way sudoers is handled once
     in LDAP.  Probably the biggest is that according to the RFC, LDAP order-
     ing is arbitrary and you cannot expect that Attributes and Entries are
     returned in any specific order.
     The order in which different entries are applied can be controlled using
     the sudoOrder attribute, but there is no way to guarantee the order of
     attributes within a specific entry.  If there are conflicting command
     rules in an entry, the negative takes precedence.  This is called para-
     noid behavior (not necessarily the most specific match).
     Here is an example:
         # /etc/sudoers:
         # Allow all commands except shell
         johnny  ALL=(root) ALL,!/bin/sh
         # Always allows all commands because ALL is matched last
         puddles ALL=(root) !/bin/sh,ALL
         # LDAP equivalent of johnny
         # Allows all commands except shell
         dn: cn=role1,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
         objectClass: sudoRole
         objectClass: top
         cn: role1
         sudoUser: johnny
         sudoHost: ALL
         sudoCommand: ALL
         sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
         # LDAP equivalent of puddles
         # Notice that even though ALL comes last, it still behaves like
         # role1 since the LDAP code assumes the more paranoid configuration
         dn: cn=role2,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
         objectClass: sudoRole
         objectClass: top
         cn: role2
         sudoUser: puddles
         sudoHost: ALL
         sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
         sudoCommand: ALL
     Another difference is that it is not possible to use negation in a
     sudoUser, sudoRunAsUser or sudoRunAsGroup attribute.  For example, the
     following attributes do not behave the way one might expect.
         # does not match all but joe
         # rather, does not match anyone
         sudoUser: !joe
         # does not match all but joe
         # rather, matches everyone including Joe
         sudoUser: ALL
         sudoUser: !joe
   Converting between file-based and LDAP sudoers
     The cvtsudoers(1) utility can be used to convert between file-based and
     LDAP sudoers.  However, there are features in the file-based sudoers that
     have no equivalent in LDAP-based sudoers (and vice versa).  These cannot
     be converted automatically.
     For example, a Cmnd_Alias in a sudoers file may be converted to a
     sudoRole that contains multiple commands.  Multiple users and/or groups
     may be assigned to the sudoRole.
     Also, host, user, runas and command-based Defaults entries are not sup-
     ported.  However, a sudoRole may contain one or more sudoOption
     attributes which can often serve the same purpose.
     Consider the following sudoers lines:
         Cmnd_Alias PAGERS = /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/pg, /usr/bin/less
         Defaults!PAGERS noexec
         alice, bob ALL = ALL
     In this example, alice and bob are allowed to run all commands, but the
     commands listed in PAGERS will have the noexec flag set, preventing shell
     escapes.
     When converting this to LDAP, two sudoRole objects can be used:
         dn: cn=PAGERS,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
         objectClass: top
         objectClass: sudoRole
         cn: PAGERS
         sudoUser: alice
         sudoUser: bob
         sudoHost: ALL
         sudoCommand: /usr/bin/more
         sudoCommand: /usr/bin/pg
         sudoCommand: /usr/bin/less
         sudoOption: noexec
         sudoOrder: 900
         dn: cn=ADMINS,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
         objectClass: top
         objectClass: sudoRole
         cn: ADMINS
         sudoUser: alice
         sudoUser: bob
         sudoHost: ALL
         sudoCommand: ALL
         sudoOrder: 100
     In the LDAP version, the sudoOrder attribute is used to guarantee that
     the PAGERS sudoRole with noexec has precedence.  Unlike the sudoers ver-
     sion, the LDAP version requires that all users for whom the restriction
     should apply be assigned to the PAGERS sudoRole.  Using a Unix group or
     netgroup in PAGERS rather than listing each user would make this easier
     to maintain.
     Per-user Defaults entries can be emulated by using one or more sudoOption
     attributes in a sudoRole.  Consider the following sudoers lines:
         User_Alias ADMINS = john, sally
         Defaults:ADMINS !authenticate
         ADMINS ALL = (ALL:ALL) ALL
     In this example, john and sally are allowed to run any command as any
     user or group.
     When converting this to LDAP, we can use a Unix group instead of the
     User_Alias.
         dn: cn=admins,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
         objectClass: top
         objectClass: sudoRole
         cn: admins
         sudoUser: %admin
         sudoHost: ALL
         sudoRunAsUser: ALL
         sudoRunAsGroup: ALL
         sudoCommand: ALL
         sudoOption: !authenticate
     This assumes that users john and sally are members of the ``admins'' Unix
     group.
   Sudoers schema
     In order to use sudo's LDAP support, the sudo schema must be installed on
     your LDAP server.  In addition, be sure to index the sudoUser attribute.
     Three versions of the schema: one for OpenLDAP servers (schema.OpenLDAP),
     one for Netscape-derived servers (schema.iPlanet), and one for Microsoft
     Active Directory (schema.ActiveDirectory) may be found in the sudo dis-
     tribution.
     The schema for sudo in OpenLDAP form is also included in the EXAMPLES
     section.
   Configuring ldap.conf
     Sudo reads the /etc/sudo-ldap.conf file for LDAP-specific configuration.
     Typically, this file is shared between different LDAP-aware clients.  As
     such, most of the settings are not sudo-specific. Note that sudo parses
     /etc/sudo-ldap.conf itself and may support options that differ from those
     described in the system's ldap.conf(5) manual.  The path to ldap.conf may
     be overridden via the ldap_conf plugin argument in sudo.conf(5).
     Also note that on systems using the OpenLDAP libraries, default values
     specified in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf or the user's .ldaprc files are not
     used.
     Only those options explicitly listed in /etc/sudo-ldap.conf as being sup-
     ported by sudo are honored.  Configuration options are listed below in
     upper case but are parsed in a case-independent manner.
     Lines beginning with a pound sign (`#') are ignored.  Leading white space
     is removed from the beginning of lines.
     BIND_TIMELIMIT seconds
           The BIND_TIMELIMIT parameter specifies the amount of time, in sec-
           onds, to wait while trying to connect to an LDAP server.  If multi-
           ple URIs or HOSTs are specified, this is the amount of time to wait
           before trying the next one in the list.
     BINDDN DN
           The BINDDN parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a Dis-
           tinguished Name (DN), to use when performing LDAP operations.  If
           not specified, LDAP operations are performed with an anonymous
           identity.  By default, most LDAP servers will allow anonymous
           access.
     BINDPW secret
           The BINDPW parameter specifies the password to use when performing
           LDAP operations.  This is typically used in conjunction with the
           BINDDN parameter.  The secret may be a plain text password or a
           base64-encoded string with a ``base64:'' prefix.  For example:
               BINDPW base64:dGVzdA==
           If a plain text password is used, it should be a simple string
           without quotes.  Plain text passwords may not include the comment
           character (`#') and the escaping of special characters with a back-
           slash (`\') is not supported.
     DEREF never/searching/finding/always
           How alias dereferencing is to be performed when searching.  See the
           ldap.conf(5) manual for a full description of this option.
     HOST name[:port] ...
           If no URI is specified (see below), the HOST parameter specifies a
           white space-delimited list of LDAP servers to connect to.  Each
           host may include an optional port separated by a colon (`:').  The
           HOST parameter is deprecated in favor of the URI specification and
           is included for backwards compatibility only.
     KRB5_CCNAME file name
           The path to the Kerberos 5 credential cache to use when authenti-
           cating with the remote server.  This option is only relevant when
           using SASL authentication (see below).
     LDAP_VERSION number
           The version of the LDAP protocol to use when connecting to the
           server.  The default value is protocol version 3.
     NETGROUP_BASE base
           The base DN to use when performing LDAP netgroup queries.  Typi-
           cally this is of the form ou=netgroup,dc=my-domain,dc=com for the
           domain my-domain.com.  Multiple NETGROUP_BASE lines may be speci-
           fied, in which case they are queried in the order specified.
           This option can be used to query a user's netgroups directly via
           LDAP which is usually faster than fetching every sudoRole object
           containing a sudoUser that begins with a `+' prefix.  The NIS
           schema used by some LDAP servers need a modification to support
           querying the nisNetgroup object by its nisNetgroupTriple member.
           OpenLDAP's slapd requires the following change to the
           nisNetgroupTriple attribute:
               attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.14 NAME 'nisNetgroupTriple'
                   DESC 'Netgroup triple'
                   EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
                   SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch
                   SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 )
     NETGROUP_SEARCH_FILTER ldap_filter
           An LDAP filter which is used to restrict the set of records
           returned when performing an LDAP netgroup query.  Typically, this
           is of the form attribute=value or
           (&(attribute=value)(attribute2=value2)).  The default search filter
           is: objectClass=nisNetgroup.  If ldap_filter is omitted, no search
           filter will be used.  This option is only when querying netgroups
           directly via LDAP.
     NETWORK_TIMEOUT seconds
           An alias for BIND_TIMELIMIT provided for OpenLDAP compatibility.
     PORT port_number
           If no URI is specified, the PORT parameter specifies the default
           port to connect to on the LDAP server if a HOST parameter does not
           specify the port itself.  If no PORT parameter is used, the default
           is port 389 for LDAP and port 636 for LDAP over TLS (SSL).  The
           PORT parameter is deprecated in favor of the URI specification and
           is included for backwards compatibility only.
     ROOTBINDDN DN
           The ROOTBINDDN parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a
           Distinguished Name (DN), to use when performing privileged LDAP
           operations, such as sudoers queries.  The password corresponding to
           the identity should be stored in the or the path specified by the
           ldap_secret plugin argument in sudo.conf(5), which defaults to
           /etc/ldap.secret.  If no ROOTBINDDN is specified, the BINDDN iden-
           tity is used (if any).
     ROOTUSE_SASL on/true/yes/off/false/no
           Enable ROOTUSE_SASL to enable SASL authentication when connecting
           to an LDAP server from a privileged process, such as sudo.
     SASL_AUTH_ID identity
           The SASL user name to use when connecting to the LDAP server.  By
           default, sudo will use an anonymous connection.  This option is
           only relevant when using SASL authentication.
     SASL_MECH mechanisms
           A white space-delimited list of SASL authentication mechanisms to
           use.  By default, sudo will use GSSAPI authentication.
     SASL_SECPROPS none/properties
           SASL security properties or none for no properties.  See the SASL
           programmer's manual for details.  This option is only relevant when
           using SASL authentication.
     SSL on/true/yes/off/false/no
           If the SSL parameter is set to on, true or yes, TLS (SSL) encryp-
           tion is always used when communicating with the LDAP server.  Typi-
           cally, this involves connecting to the server on port 636 (ldaps).
     SSL start_tls
           If the SSL parameter is set to start_tls, the LDAP server connec-
           tion is initiated normally and TLS encryption is begun before the
           bind credentials are sent.  This has the advantage of not requiring
           a dedicated port for encrypted communications.  This parameter is
           only supported by LDAP servers that honor the start_tls extension,
           such as the OpenLDAP and Tivoli Directory servers.
     SUDOERS_BASE base
           The base DN to use when performing sudo LDAP queries.  Typically
           this is of the form ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com for the domain
           my-domain.com.  Multiple SUDOERS_BASE lines may be specified, in
           which case they are queried in the order specified.
     SUDOERS_DEBUG debug_level
           This sets the debug level for sudo LDAP queries.  Debugging infor-
           mation is printed to the standard error.  A value of 1 results in a
           moderate amount of debugging information.  A value of 2 shows the
           results of the matches themselves.  This parameter should not be
           set in a production environment as the extra information is likely
           to confuse users.
           The SUDOERS_DEBUG parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a
           future release.  The same information is now logged via the sudo
           debugging framework using the ``ldap'' subsystem at priorities diag
           and info for debug_level values 1 and 2 respectively.  See the
           sudo.conf(5) manual for details on how to configure sudo debugging.
     SUDOERS_SEARCH_FILTER ldap_filter
           An LDAP filter which is used to restrict the set of records
           returned when performing a sudo LDAP query.  Typically, this is of
           the form attribute=value or
           (&(attribute=value)(attribute2=value2)).  The default search filter
           is: objectClass=sudoRole.  If ldap_filter is omitted, no search
           filter will be used.
     SUDOERS_TIMED on/true/yes/off/false/no
           Whether or not to evaluate the sudoNotBefore and sudoNotAfter
           attributes that implement time-dependent sudoers entries.
     TIMELIMIT seconds
           The TIMELIMIT parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds,
           to wait for a response to an LDAP query.
     TIMEOUT seconds
           The TIMEOUT parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to
           wait for a response from the various LDAP APIs.
     TLS_CACERT file name
           An alias for TLS_CACERTFILE for OpenLDAP compatibility.
     TLS_CACERTFILE file name
           The path to a certificate authority bundle which contains the cer-
           tificates for all the Certificate Authorities the client knows to
           be valid, e.g. /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem.  This option is only sup-
           ported by the OpenLDAP libraries.  Netscape-derived LDAP libraries
           use the same certificate database for CA and client certificates
           (see TLS_CERT).
     TLS_CACERTDIR directory
           Similar to TLS_CACERTFILE but instead of a file, it is a directory
           containing individual Certificate Authority certificates, e.g.
           /etc/ssl/certs.  The directory specified by TLS_CACERTDIR is
           checked after TLS_CACERTFILE.  This option is only supported by the
           OpenLDAP libraries.
     TLS_CERT file name
           The path to a file containing the client certificate which can be
           used to authenticate the client to the LDAP server.  The certifi-
           cate type depends on the LDAP libraries used.
           OpenLDAP:
                 tls_cert /etc/ssl/client_cert.pem
           Netscape-derived:
                 tls_cert /var/ldap/cert7.db
           Tivoli Directory Server:
                 Unused, the key database specified by TLS_KEY contains both
                 keys and certificates.
                 When using Netscape-derived libraries, this file may also
                 contain Certificate Authority certificates.
     TLS_CHECKPEER on/true/yes/off/false/no
           If enabled, TLS_CHECKPEER will cause the LDAP server's TLS certifi-
           cated to be verified.  If the server's TLS certificate cannot be
           verified (usually because it is signed by an unknown certificate
           authority), sudo will be unable to connect to it.  If TLS_CHECKPEER
           is disabled, no check is made.  Note that disabling the check cre-
           ates an opportunity for man-in-the-middle attacks since the
           server's identity will not be authenticated.  If possible, the CA's
           certificate should be installed locally so it can be verified.
           This option is not supported by the Tivoli Directory Server LDAP
           libraries.
     TLS_KEY file name
           The path to a file containing the private key which matches the
           certificate specified by TLS_CERT.  The private key must not be
           password-protected.  The key type depends on the LDAP libraries
           used.
           OpenLDAP:
                 tls_key /etc/ssl/client_key.pem
           Netscape-derived:
                 tls_key /var/ldap/key3.db
           Tivoli Directory Server:
                 tls_key /usr/ldap/ldapkey.kdb
           When using Tivoli LDAP libraries, this file may also contain Cer-
           tificate Authority and client certificates and may be encrypted.
     TLS_CIPHERS cipher list
           The TLS_CIPHERS parameter allows the administer to restrict which
           encryption algorithms may be used for TLS (SSL) connections.  See
           the OpenLDAP or Tivoli Directory Server manual for a list of valid
           ciphers.  This option is not supported by Netscape-derived
           libraries.
     TLS_KEYPW secret
           The TLS_KEYPW contains the password used to decrypt the key data-
           base on clients using the Tivoli Directory Server LDAP library.
           The secret may be a plain text password or a base64-encoded string
           with a ``base64:'' prefix.  For example:
               TLS_KEYPW base64:dGVzdA==
           If a plain text password is used, it should be a simple string
           without quotes.  Plain text passwords may not include the comment
           character (`#') and the escaping of special characters with a back-
           slash (`\') is not supported.  If this option is used,
           /etc/sudo-ldap.conf must not be world-readable to avoid exposing
           the password.  Alternately, a stash file can be used to store the
           password in encrypted form (see below).
           If no TLS_KEYPW is specified, a stash file will be used if it
           exists.  The stash file must have the same path as the file speci-
           fied by TLS_KEY, but use a .sth file extension instead of .kdb,
           e.g. ldapkey.sth.  The default ldapkey.kdb that ships with Tivoli
           Directory Server is encrypted with the password ssl_password.  The
           gsk8capicmd utility can be used to manage the key database and cre-
           ate a stash file.  This option is only supported by the Tivoli LDAP
           libraries.
     TLS_RANDFILE file name
           The TLS_RANDFILE parameter specifies the path to an entropy source
           for systems that lack a random device.  It is generally used in
           conjunction with prngd or egd.  This option is only supported by
           the OpenLDAP libraries.
     URI ldap[s]://[hostname[:port]] ...
           Specifies a white space-delimited list of one or more URIs describ-
           ing the LDAP server(s) to connect to.  The protocol may be either
           ldap ldaps, the latter being for servers that support TLS (SSL)
           encryption.  If no port is specified, the default is port 389 for
           ldap:// or port 636 for ldaps://.  If no hostname is specified,
           sudo will connect to localhost.  Multiple URI lines are treated
           identically to a URI line containing multiple entries.  Only sys-
           tems using the OpenSSL libraries support the mixing of ldap:// and
           ldaps:// URIs.  Both the Netscape-derived and Tivoli LDAP libraries
           used on most commercial versions of Unix are only capable of sup-
           porting one or the other.
     USE_SASL on/true/yes/off/false/no
           Enable USE_SASL for LDAP servers that support SASL authentication.
     ROOTSASL_AUTH_ID identity
           The SASL user name to use when ROOTUSE_SASL is enabled.
     See the ldap.conf entry in the EXAMPLES section.
   Configuring nsswitch.conf
     Unless it is disabled at build time, sudo consults the Name Service
     Switch file, /etc/nsswitch.conf, to specify the sudoers search order.
     Sudo looks for a line beginning with sudoers: and uses this to determine
     the search order.  Note that sudo does not stop searching after the first
     match and later matches take precedence over earlier ones.  The following
     sources are recognized:
         files     read sudoers from /etc/sudoers
         ldap      read sudoers from LDAP
     In addition, the entry [NOTFOUND=return] will short-circuit the search if
     the user was not found in the preceding source.
     To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it exists),
     use:
         sudoers: ldap files
     The local sudoers file can be ignored completely by using:
         sudoers: ldap
     If the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is not present or there is no sudoers
     line, the following default is assumed:
         sudoers: files
     Note that /etc/nsswitch.conf is supported even when the underlying oper-
     ating system does not use an nsswitch.conf file, except on AIX (see
     below).
   Configuring netsvc.conf
     On AIX systems, the /etc/netsvc.conf file is consulted instead of
     /etc/nsswitch.conf.  sudo simply treats netsvc.conf as a variant of
     nsswitch.conf; information in the previous section unrelated to the file
     format itself still applies.
     To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it exists),
     use:
         sudoers = ldap, files
     The local sudoers file can be ignored completely by using:
         sudoers = ldap
     To treat LDAP as authoritative and only use the local sudoers file if the
     user is not present in LDAP, use:
         sudoers = ldap = auth, files
     Note that in the above example, the auth qualifier only affects user
     lookups; both LDAP and sudoers will be queried for Defaults entries.
     If the /etc/netsvc.conf file is not present or there is no sudoers line,
     the following default is assumed:
         sudoers = files
   Integration with sssd
     On systems with the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) and where sudo
     has been built with SSSD support, it is possible to use SSSD to cache
     LDAP sudoers rules.  To use SSSD as the sudoers source, you should use
     sssd instead of ldap for the sudoers entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf.  Note
     that the /etc/sudo-ldap.conf file is not used by the SSSD sudo back end.
     Please see sssd-sudo(5) for more information on configuring sudo to work
     with SSSD.

       #
       # For SunONE or iPlanet LDAP, tls_cert and tls_key may specify either
       # a directory, in which case the files in the directory must have the
       # default names (e.g. cert8.db and key4.db), or the path to the cert
       # and key files themselves.  However, a bug in version 5.0 of the LDAP
       # SDK will prevent specific file names from working.  For this reason
       # it is suggested that tls_cert and tls_key be set to a directory,
       # not a file name.
       #
       # The certificate database specified by tls_cert may contain CA certs
       # and/or the client's cert.  If the client's cert is included, tls_key
       # should be specified as well.
       # For backward compatibility, "sslpath" may be used in place of tls_cert.

   Sudo schema for OpenLDAP
     The following schema, in OpenLDAP format, is included with sudo source
     and binary distributions as schema.OpenLDAP.  Simply copy it to the
