#931 Support access-control similar to pam_groupdn in LDAP
Closed: wontfix 3 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 12 years ago by sgallagh.

pam_ldap had a feature called {{{pam_groupdn}}}. The behavior of this option was to check whether the DN of the user logging in existed as a member of the {{{pam_member_attribute}}} multi-valued attribue of this group DN.

Our current answer to users attempting to accomplish similar behavior is to recommend that they use the simple access provider with simple_allow_groups to be set. However, this is somewhat limited in that it only allows access based on POSIX groups, where the pam_groupdn feature could use non-POSIX (administrative-only) groups for this evaluation.

In bug #782969 we've gotten a request to have that facility also handle cases where the group membership is noted by the user's login name being present in the relevant attribute rather than the user's DN.
