4.5. Managing Host-based Access Control with IdM API commands

In this example, you create a base rule that will handle SSH service access.

api.Command.hbacrule_add("sshd_rule")

In this example, you add the user john to the sshd_rule HBAC rule.

api.Command.hbacrule_add_user("sshd_rule", user="john")

In this example, you add the group developers to the sshd_rule HBAC rule.

api.Command.hbacrule_add_user("sshd_rule", group="developers")

In this example, you remove the user john from the sshd_rule HBAC rule.

api.Command.hbacrule_remove_user("sshd_rule", user="john")

You must register a target service before you can attach it to an HBAC rule. In this example, you register the chronyd service.

api.Command.hbacsvc_add("chronyd")

In this example, you attach the sshd service to the sshd_rule HBAC rule. This service is registered in IPA by default, so there is no need to register it using hbacsvc_add beforehand.

api.Command.hbacrule_add_service("sshd_rule", hbacsvc="sshd")

In this example, you add workstations host group to the sshd_rule HBAC rule.

api.Command.hbacrule_add_host("sshd_rule", hostgroup="workstations")

In this example, you use the sshd_rule HBAC rule against the workstation.ipa.test host. It targets the service sshd that comes from the user john.

api.Command.hbactest(user="john", targethost="workstation.ipa.test", service="sshd", rules="sshd_rule")

In this example, you enable the sshd_rule HBAC rule.

api.Command.hbacrule_enable("sshd_rule")

In this example, you disable the sshd_rule HBAC rule.

api.Command.hbacrule_disable("sshd_rule")
