Selecting a Profile

Use the authselect utility to select a profile and make it active.

To work with a specific profile and take advantage of its authentication features, you must first select it to be the active profile. You do this using the authselect select command.

The syntax is as follows:

sudo authselect select profile [features] [options] 

• For example, to set the sssd profile:

  sudo authselect select sssd

• You can select a profile and enable one or more of its features at the same time. For example, to select the sssd profile and enable its with-faillock and with-mkhomedir features, use the following command:

  sudo authselect select sssd with-faillock with-mkhomedir
