Repository files navigation

Joins a node to an Active Directory domain using PowerBroker Identity Services Open Edition (PBIS).

node 'workstation' {  class { 'pbis':     ad_domain             => 'ads.example.org',    bind_username         => 'admin',    bind_password         => 'password',    ou                    => 'ou=Computers,ou=Department,ou=Divison',    user_domain_prefix    => 'ADS',    require_membership_of => 'ADS\\Linux_Users',  }}

This module supports two ways of distributing the PBIS Open packages:

1. using Puppet's built-in fileserver, and
2. aspackage resources using an external repository.

The default is to use Puppet's built-in fileserver.

In either case, download the necessary packages from theBeyondTrust website. Extract the architecture-specificpbis-open.rpm or.deb file from the self-extractingsh archive.

Rename thepbis-open package files according to the following convention:

pbis-open.amd64.debpbis-open.i386.debpbis-open.x86_64.rpmpbis-open.i386.rpm

and place them in the module'sfiles/ folder.

For scalability, or if you are using variable module paths, you may want to add the PBIS Open packages to a localapt oryum repository.

In that case, include the class withuse_repository => true.

node 'workstation' {  class { 'pbis':    ...    use_repository => true,  }}

The service name may not be 'lsass' on newer version of PBIS and may be 'lwsmd'. This is now configurable as below:

node 'workstation' {  class { 'pbis':    ...    service_name => 'lwsmd',  }}

This module requires theosfamily fact, which depends on Facter 1.6.1+.

This module has been tested against Puppet 2.7.18+ and Facter 1.6.9+ on Debian 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.

Support for RedHat and Suse is included but has not been tested.

Likewise Open was acquired by BeyondTrust in 2011 and rebranded as PowerBroker Identity Services Open Edition. The project page is atpowerbrokeropen.org.

The original Likewise Open package is included in the Ubuntu repositories, but has not been updated in years.
