Very Quick Guide to build sssd components

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the following instructions to build the libraries and the binaries.

NOTE: these instructions are temporary and will most likely change agt some

point but so far the process I describe here is the best one to get something up

and working while developing this project.

Each library and the sssd service have a --with-shared-build-dir configure option

that is useful to build the libraries so that you can build all pieces before

installing each library as a dependency.

If you just want to make a development build you can provide a temporary

directory where libraries are installed during the build process in a way that

let each dependent library find them without having to install each binary into

its finally system library directory (ie build as user).

I use the following steps to build all pieces.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/foo/lib

pushd talloc; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd

pushd tdb; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd

pushd tevent; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd

pushd ldb; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make shared-build; popd

pushd server; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-shared-build-dir=/tmp/foo && make; popd

At this point you can start testing the sssd daemon this way:

cd server

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/foo/lib

./sbin/sssd -i

This will start the sssd daemon in interactive mode.

The nss and pam client doesn't need any dependency nor supports the

shared-build option.

pushd sss_client; ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make; popd

Now you have to copy libnss_sss* into /lib (or /lib64) and add the 'sss' traget

to nsswitch.conf passwd database

For pam copy pam_sss.so into /lib/security (or /lib64/security) and add

pam_sss.so to your pam configuration. To use the pam_test_client from

sss_client create the following file:

/etc/pam.d/sss_test:

auth required pam_sss.so

account required pam_sss.so

password required pam_sss.so

session required pam_sss.so

Now you can call pam_test_client:

./pam_test_client [auth|chau|acct|setc|open|clos] username@domain

Simo.
