.Sh NAME
.Nm cvtsudoers
.Nd convert between sudoers file formats
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm cvtsudoers
.Op Fl ehV
.Op Fl b Ar dn
.Op Fl c Ar conf_file
.Op Fl f Ar output_format
.Op Fl i Ar input_format
.Op Fl I Ar increment
.Op Fl m Ar filter
.Op Fl o Ar output_file
.Op Fl O Ar start_point
.Op Ar input_file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
can be used to convert between
.Em sudoers
security policy file formats.
The default input format is sudoers.
The default output format is LDIF.
It is only possible to convert a
.Em sudoers
file that is syntactically correct.
.Pp
If no
.Ar input_file
is specified, or if it is
.Ql - ,
the policy is read from the standard input.
By default, the result is written to the standard output.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Fl b Ar dn , Fl -base Ns = Ns Ar dn
The base DN (distinguished name) that will be used when performing
LDAP queries.
Typically this is of the form
.Li ou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com
for the domain
.Li example.com .
If this option is not specified, the value of the
.Ev SUDOERS_BASE
environment variable will be used instead.
Only necessary when converting to LDIF format.
.It Fl c , Fl -config
Specify the path to a configuration file.
Defaults to
.Pa @sysconfdir@/cvtsudoers.conf .
.It Fl e , Fl -expand-aliases
Expand aliases in
.Ar input_file .
Aliases are preserved by default when the output
.Ar format
is JSON or sudoers.
.It Fl f Ar output_format , Fl -format Ns = Ns Ar output_format
Specify the output format.
The following formats are supported:
.Bl -tag -width 8n
.It JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files are usually easier for
third-party applications to consume than the traditional
.Em sudoers
format.
The various values have explicit types which removes much of the
ambiguity of the
.Em sudoers
format.
.It LDIF
LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) files can be imported into an LDAP
server for use with
.Xr sudoers.ldap @mansectform@ .
.Pp
Conversion to LDIF has the following limitations:
.Bl -bullet -width 1n
.It
Command, host, runas and user-specific Defaults lines cannot be
translated as they don't have an equivalent in the sudoers LDAP schema.
.It
Command, host, runas and user aliases are not supported by the
sudoers LDAP schema so they are expanded during the conversion.
.El
.It sudoers
Traditional sudoers format.
A new sudoers file will be reconstructed from the parsed input file.
Comments are not preserved and data from any include files will be
output inline.
.El
.It Fl h , Fl -help
Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
.It Fl i Ar input_format , Fl -input-format Ns = Ns Ar input_format
Specify the input format.
The following formats are supported:
.Bl -tag -width 8n
.It LDIF
LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) files can be exported from an LDAP
server to convert security policies used by
.Xr sudoers.ldap @mansectform@ .
If a base DN (distinguished name) is specified, only sudoRole objects
that match the base DN will be processed.
Not all sudoOptions specified in a sudoRole can be translated from
LDIF to sudoers format.
.It sudoers
Traditional sudoers format.
This is the default input format.
.El
.It Fl I Ar increment , Fl -increment Ns = Ns Ar increment
When generating LDIF output, increment each sudoOrder attribute by
the specified number.
Defaults to an increment of 1.
.It Fl m Ar filter , Fl -match Ns = Ns Ar filter
Only output rules that match the specified
.Ar filter .
A
.Ar filter
expression is made up of one or more
.Sy key = Ar value
pairs, separated by a comma
.Pq Ql \&, .
The
.Sy key
may be
.Dq user ,
.Dq group
or
.Dq host .
For example,
.Sy user No = Ar operator
or
.Sy host No = Ar www .
.Pp
The password and group databases are not consulted when matching
against the filter so the users and groups do not need to be present
on the local system.
Only aliases that are referenced by the filtered policy rules will
be displayed.
.It Fl o Ar output_file , Fl -output Ns = Ns Ar output_file
Write the converted output to
.Ar output_file .
If no
.Ar output_file
is specified, or if it is
.Ql - ,
the converted
.Em sudoers
policy will be written to the standard output.
.It Fl O Ar start_point , Fl -order-start Ns = Ns Ar start_point
When generating LDIF output, use the number specified by
.Ar start_point
in the sudoOrder attribute of the first sudoRole object.
Subsequent sudoRole object use a sudoOrder value generated by adding an
.Ar increment ,
see the
.Fl I
option for details.
Defaults to a starting point of 1.
A starting point of 0 will disable the generation of sudoOrder
attributes in the resulting LDIF file.
.It Fl V , -version
Print the
.Nm
and
.Em sudoers
grammar versions and exit.
.El
.Pp
Options in the form
.Dq keyword = value
may also be specified in a configuration file,
.Pa @sysconfdir@/cvtsudoers.conf
by default.
The following keywords are recognized:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It Sy expand_aliases = Ar yes | no
See the description of the
.Fl e
command line option.
.It Sy input_format = Ar ldif | sudoers
See the description of the
.Fl i
command line option.
.It Sy match = Ar filter
See the description of the
.Fl m
command line option.
.It Sy order_increment = Ar increment
See the description of the
.Fl I
command line option.
.It Sy order_start = Ar start_port
See the description of the
.Fl O
command line option.
.It Sy output_format = Ar json | ldif | sudoers
See the description of the
.Fl f
command line option.
.It Sy sudoers_base = Ar dn
See the description of the
.Fl b
command line option.
.El
.Pp
Options on the command line will override values from the
configuration file.
