This is the code repository for authd, an authentication daemon for cloud-based identity provider.
Authd is a versatile authentication service for Ubuntu, designed to seamlessly integrate with cloud identity providers like OpenID Connect and Entra ID. It offers a secure interface for system authentication, supporting cloud-based identity management. Authd features a modular structure, facilitating straightforward integration with different cloud services. This design aids in maintaining strong security and effective user authentication. It's well-suited for handling access to cloud identities, offering a balance of security and ease of use.
authd is available as a Debian package. To install it, run the following command:
sudo apt install authdThis command will install the authd the required modules for PAM and NSS and its dependencies.
For NSS it'll update the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and add the service authd for the databases password, group and shadow.
For PAM it'll update the files /etc/pam.d/common-auth, /etc/pam.d/common-account and /etc/pam.d/common-password to include the authd module.
In addition to the authd service, you'll have to install and configure a cloud identity provider such as OpenID Connect or Microsoft Entra ID. For more information, refer to the documentation of the cloud identity provider.
