If you are trying to create an HBAC rule in FreeIPA to allow users to log on to Fedora 27 workstations via GDM, you will need to do the following:
– Create a new HBAC service in FreeIPA, called “systemd-user”
– Create an HBAC rule that includes “gdm”, “gdm-password”, and “systemd-user”, granting access to your users for the targeted hosts
Figuring out the need to create the “systemd-user” service required adding “debug_level=9” in the [pam] section of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf, and a lot of patience.
