Accounts

Hostwarden records how admins log in on each host, then manages accounts the way that model expects.

  • The login model is recorded once. Through a role account, a directory, local accounts or an agent, as one Accounts: line, and Hostwarden creates or removes accounts, groups and sudo rules the way that model does, each asked first.
  • Team accounts stay in sync. They get the same UID and GID on every host; removing one revokes its certificates first and keeps the home directory unless you say otherwise.
  • Certificate and directory logins are covered. Logins with user certificates, and accounts an identity provider hands out on demand, are covered: the second are read and reported.
  • Directories, identity providers and CAs are never written to. Hostwarden tells you what to create there instead.
