SSH login using Active Directory credentials
I am having trouble logging into a Linux system via SSH using my Active Directory credentials. the system is bound to AD, and all of the required packages are installed and configured, but I cannot login. What am I missing here?
I get the following errors in /var/log/secure:
Mar 7 14:32:02 password sshd[4657]: User myusername from <anothersystem.mydomain.com> not allowed because none of user's groups are listed in AllowGroups
Mar 7 14:32:02 password sshd[4657]: input_userauth_request: invalid user <myusername> [preauth]

Solution 1:
AllowGroups
This keyword can be followed by a list of group name patterns, separated by spaces. If specified, login is allowed only for users whose primary group or supplementary group list matches one of the patterns. Only group names are valid; a numerical group ID is not recognized. By default, login is allowed for all groups. The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers, AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.
It looks like the Problem is the whitespace in the sshd_config, which is used as separator in the AllowGroups
field. Although even not really documented, it should work to use double-quotes, using "IT Security"
.

For debugging groups id <username>
and getent
are always helpful to see if the users and groups are properly retrieved.
Also check the sssd.conf man page and verify how sssd handles whitespace in groups.
