puavoadmins

This project provides following components for intergrating Puavo organization owners to the host:

• Commands for updating /etc/puavo/org.json from Puavo via its REST API, validating it and ensuring home directories exist for all puavoadmins.

• NSS module which provides group and passwd databases.

  • Uses /etc/puavo/org.json as a backend.

  • Supports getpwnam(), getpwuid(), getpwent(), getgrnam(), getgrgid(), getgrent() and their reentrant counterparts.

  • Populates group database with puavoadmins group (gid=555). All puavoadmins belong to this group.

  • Populates passwd database with all puavoadmins listed in /etc/puavo/org.json.

• Command for outputting puavoadmin's public keys in OpenSSH authorized_keys format. Intended to be used as AuthorizedKeysCommand (requires OpenSSH 6.1 or newer).

• libjson-c
• ruby1.9.1
• ruby-puavobs
