I have Windows 2012 AD server and all of the linux computers (CentOS) are joined to AD.

Recently, Quest defender 2FA has been activated, so all the domain users require soft token when SSH to any of CentOS systems. Now, I need to exclude some of the domain service accounts from 2FA when SSH to Centos systems for different services.

Here is the current setting

[root@Linux]# less /etc/pam_radius_acl.conf
sshd:*

[root@Linux]# /etc/pam.d/sshd

auth required pam_sepermit.so
auth requisite pam_defender.so
auth requisite pam_defender.so
auth substack password-auth
auth include postlogin
-auth optional pam_reauthorize.so prepare
account required pam_nologin.so
account include password-auth
password include password-auth
session required pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_loginuid.so
session required pam_selinux.so open env_params
session required pam_namespace.so
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session include password-auth
session include postlogin
-session optional pam_reauthorize.so prepare

[root@Linux]# less /etc/ssh/sshd_config
UsePAM yes
ChalllengeResponseAuthentication yes


Secondly, I want to setup centralize access management meaning apply login policy for all the centos sytems. For example, a user in admin dept, she can login only to Centos systems which belong to admin dept only. She will not able to login to Engineering dept systems using her domain credentials.

Can configure GPO on Windows AD server and push down to all the linux systems? My CentOS version is 7.4

Thanks much.
