puppet-pbis

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

Usage

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',
    version               => "8.5.1-206"
  }
}

Distributing PBIS Open packages

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

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

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

In either case, download the necessary packages from the BeyondTrust Repo website. You can access the x86_64 RPMs directly, for example: (https://repo.pbis.beyondtrust.com/yum/pbiso/x86_64/Packages/)

Using Puppet's built-in fileserver

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

pbis-open.amd64.deb
pbis-open.i386.deb

pbis-open.x86_64.rpm
pbis-open.i386.rpm

and place them in the module's files/ folder.

Using an external repository

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

In that case, sync with the BeyondTrust Public Repo, and set $yum_install => true (the default)

Service name change.

The service name was changed from 'lsass' to 'lwsmd' in Likewise Open 6.0, and therefore all versions of PBIS. This is now configurable as below:

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

Dependencies

This module requires the osfamily fact, which depends on Facter 1.6.1+. This module requires the 'wget' module, which you can get via: puppet module install maestrodev-wget --version 1.7.3

Supported platforms

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 and has been tested 2016-11-16.

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