Current approach to host user management by Teleport when doing ssh is broken for many reasons.
The ideal solution would be to support the LDAP protocol for Teleport proxies.
The
teleport
instance on the host should bind to 127.0.0.1. (Say, with a port of 3389 for example.)PAM should be configured the speak LDAP to 127.0.0.1:3389 in this case.
The Teleport proxy will process RBAC logic as part of the PAM authorization flow.
[LDAP is a requirement because LDAP support is a standard part of PAM for all Unix systems. Developing and distributing a PAM module that uses the Teleport REST API to authorize users is not feasible.]
