### Reference

Some examples of valid entries can be found in access.conf or “man access.conf”

### License

This file is licensed under the LGPL v2+, like the rest of Augeas.

### Lens Usage

Sample usage of this lens in augtool

- Add a rule to permit login of all users from local sources (tty’s, X, cron)

>     set /files/etc/security/access.conf[0] +
>     set /files/etc/security/access.conf[0]/user ALL
>     set /files/etc/security/access.conf[0]/origin LOCAL

### Configuration files

This lens applies to /etc/security/access.conf. See filter.

### Examples

The Test_Access file contains various examples and tests.

### Comments and empty lines

### comment

> let comment = Util.comment

### empty

> let empty = Util.empty

### Useful primitives

### colon

> let colon = del (Rx.opt_space . ":" . Rx.opt_space) " : "

this is the standard field separator “ : “

### ENTRY LINE

### access

> let access = label "access" . store /[+-]/

Allow (+) or deny (-) access

### identifier_re

> let identifier_re = /[A-Za-z0-9_.\\-]+/

Regex for user/group identifiers

### user_re

> let user_re = identifier_re - /[Ee][Xx][Cc][Ee][Pp][Tt]/

Regex for user/netgroup fields

### user

> let user = [ label "user" . ( store user_re | store Rx.word . Util.del_str "@" . [ label "host" . store Rx.word ] ) ]

user can be a username, username@hostname or a group

### group

> let group = [ label "group" . Util.del_str "(" . store identifier_re . Util.del_str ")" ]

Format is (GROUP)

### netgroup

> let netgroup = [ label "netgroup" . Util.del_str "@" . store user_re . [ label "nisdomain" . Util.del_str "@@" . store Rx.word ]? ]

Format is @NETGROUP[@@NISDOMAIN]

### user_list

> let user_list = Build.opt_list (user|group|netgroup) Sep.space

A list of users or netgroups to apply the rule to

### origin_list

> let origin_list = let origin_re = Rx.no_spaces - /[Ee][Xx][Cc][Ee][Pp][Tt]/ in Build.opt_list [ label "origin" . store origin_re ] Sep.space

origin_list can be a single ipaddr/originname/domain/fqdn or a list of those values

### except

> let except (lns:lens) = [ label "except" . Sep.space . del /[Ee][Xx][Cc][Ee][Pp][Tt]/ "EXCEPT" . Sep.space . lns ]

The except operator makes it possible to write very compact rules.

### entry

> let entry = [ access . colon . user_list . (except user_list)? . colon . origin_list . (except origin_list)? . Util.eol ]

A valid entry line Definition:

>     entry ::= access ':' user ':' origin_list

### LENS & FILTER

### lns

> let lns = (comment|empty|entry) *

The access.conf lens, any amount of

- empty lines
- comments
- entry

### filter

Provides unit tests and examples for the Access lens.

> let user_list = Build.opt_list (user|group|netgroup) Sep.space

A list of users or netgroups to apply the rule to

> let origin_list = let origin_re = Rx.no_spaces - /[Ee][Xx][Cc][Ee][Pp][Tt]/ in Build.opt_list [ label "origin" . store origin_re ] Sep.space

origin_list can be a single ipaddr/originname/domain/fqdn or a list of those values

> let except (lns:lens) = [ label "except" . Sep.space . del /[Ee][Xx][Cc][Ee][Pp][Tt]/ "EXCEPT" . Sep.space . lns ]
