So yeah, I think I did my testing a bit too quickly.

I looked again and eenabled debug logging in sssd and the pam service
that sftp uses is sshd. I think the suggestion to use groups for access
control looks like your best bet. You might want to suggest to the
openssh folks that a different pam service would be helpful.

[Kevin Vasko via FreeIPA-users]

Rob, do you by chance maybe have sshd and sftp in your "Via Services"
permissions? If I have the sshd service enabled in my "Via services" then
"sftp" works for me as well, but it's still under the hood authenticating
with sshd even though I am trying to connect with the "sftp" command.
"pam_sss" in the logs show it's using sshd, even though I have
/etc/pam.d/sshd copied over in /etc/pam.d/sftp. I think this might have
something to do with "sftp" is actually using "sshd" to do the auth?

May 16 14:59:33 exampleserver sshd[65411]: pam_sss(sshd:auth):
authentication success; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser=
rhost=192.168.0.127 user=exampleserver
May 16 14:59:34 exampleserver sshd[65411]: pam_sss(sshd:account): Access
denied for user testuser: 6 (Permission denied)

[Freeipa-users] Re: sftp HBAC

[Kevin Vasko via FreeIPA-users]

Thanks Rob.

ipa hbactest --user testaccount --host testsystem.example.com --service sftp

Access granted: True

ipa hbactest --user testaccount --host testsystem.example.com --service sshd

Access granted: False

So the HBAC works from FreeIPA...however when I actually put rubber to the
road

"sftp testacco...@testsystem.example.com"
Password:
Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 65535
Connection closed.

On the server it is denying it because it seems to be using sshd like Ahti
Seier mentioned.

I just tested this and it works fine for me. I had to create an
allow_sshd HBAC rule which granted sshd access after I disabled the
allow_all rule.

You can test your rules with:
ipa hbactest --user admin --host replica.example.test --service sshd

and

ipa hbactest --user admin --host replica.example.test --service sftp

And replace user with whatever user can only access via sftp. It should
fail for sshd.

It would help to see the output of these hbactest runs.

[Freeipa-users] Re: sftp HBAC

[Ahti Seier via FreeIPA-users]

I don't think this can be done easily

  The way pam works is the program (sshd in this case) starts the pam
context with a specific name. Looking at sshd source it seems this is
__progname for sshd which should be the basename of the executable. There
does not seem to be a separate authentication stack for sftp part
specifically. So it does not matter if you create a pam.d/sftp
configuration as sshd is not programmed to look for it.

  sshd can however be configured to limit ssh access and allow sftp based
on a users group. So this could be achieved by having the sftp only users
in a specific user group.
