gmsad
gmsad manages Active Directory group Managed Service Account (gMSA) on Linux.
Given the keytab of an account which has the ability to retrieve the secret of a gMSA, gmsad creates a keytab for the service account and renew it when necessary. It can execute an arbitrary command just after renewing the keytab.
Requirements
Your Active Directory domain must be able to use group Managed Service Account which implies :
- AD schema updated to Windows Server 2012 (Getting Started with Group Managed Service Accounts)
- KDS Root Key deployed (Create the Key Distribution Services KDS Root Key)
In addition, gmsad requires a working LDAPS interface on domain controllers with a valid TLS certificate.
