Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

STIG scans calling out RHEL-09-631015/OL09-00-000910/ALMA-09-038960

Describe the solution you'd like

Per the STIG guidance:

Configure the OS to map the authenticated identity to the user or group account by adding or modifying the certmap section of the "/etc/sssd /sssd.conf" file or a "*.conf" file within the "/etc/sssd/conf.d/" directory, based on the following example:

[certmap/testing.test/rule_name]
matchrule = .*EDIPI@mil
maprule = (userCertificate;binary={cert!bin})
domains = testing.test

The "sssd" service must be restarted for the changes to take effect. To restart the "sssd" service, run the following command:

$ systemctl restart sssd.service

Research direction

Start by locating the Salt formula entry points that manage SSSD configuration and service restarts. Compare the STIG example for the certmap section in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf or /etc/sssd/conf.d/*.conf, then verify that the sssd service is restarted and the requested identity mapping is applied.
