Owing to a corporate strategy I am moving human user authentication from an implementation of LDAP locally to a centralized Active Directory domain. The problem is that we have a tightly constrained sudoers setup within LDAP. Our Windows admins are unable to mirror this setup without considerable work and possibly not even completely if the time is devoted. An idea that was posed was this:Authenticate to Active Directory but maintain sudoers management within our existing LDAP infrastructure.The question then is it possible to either authenticate using an alternate method/server for AD so I can have LDAP for sudoers and something alternative for passwd in /etc/nsswitch.conf?Due to scale, maintaining local /etc/sudoers files for each guest would be administratively prohibitive and a step back in terms of architecture and scalability.
