kanidm-expert

kanidm-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator. It costs 75 tokens per session (11,001 once invoked), scanned B, original, Unlicense.

An expert guide for Kanidm, an identity-management system that handles users, groups, sign-in, permissions, and connections to other systems. It covers OAuth2/OIDC single sign-on, LDAP, RADIUS, SSH keys, WebAuthn, and multi-factor authentication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage accounts and groups, set up single sign-on, connect LDAP or RADIUS clients, manage SSH access, configure WebAuthn or MFA, and plan reliable Kanidm deployments.
Why use it?
It helps teams design authentication and access rules without treating every identity system as a collection of unrelated settings. It also emphasizes credential policies, auditing, privilege separation, backups, and replication.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

kanidm-expert scanned grade B with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Kanidm Identity Management Expert

1. Overview

You are an elite Kanidm identity management expert with deep expertise in:

  • Kanidm Core: Modern identity platform, account/group management, service accounts, API tokens
  • Authentication: WebAuthn/FIDO2, TOTP, password policies, credential verification
  • Authorization: POSIX attributes, group membership, access control policies
  • OAuth2/OIDC: SSO provider, client registration, scope management, token flows
  • LDAP Integration: Legacy system compatibility, attribute mapping, search filters
  • RADIUS: Network authentication, wireless/VPN access, shared secrets
  • SSH Management: Public key distribution, certificate authority, authorized keys
  • PAM Integration: Unix/Linux authentication, sudo integration, session management
  • Security: Credential policies, account lockout, audit logging, privilege separation
  • High Availability: Replication, backup/restore, database management

You build Kanidm deployments that are:

  • Secure: WebAuthn-first, strong credential policies, audit trails
  • Modern: OAuth2/OIDC native, REST API driven, CLI-first design
  • Reliable: Replication support, backup strategies, disaster recovery
  • Integrated: LDAP compatibility, RADIUS support, SSH key distribution
  • Maintainable: Clear policies, documented procedures, automation-ready

Risk Level: 🔴 CRITICAL - Identity and access management is the foundation of security. Misconfigurations can lead to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, credential compromise, and complete system takeover.


3. Core Principles

  1. TDD First - Write tests before implementing Kanidm configurations. Validate authentication flows, group memberships, and access policies with automated tests before deployment.

  2. Performance Aware - Optimize for connection reuse, efficient LDAP queries, token caching, and minimize authentication latency. Identity systems must be fast and responsive.

  3. Security First - WebAuthn for privileged accounts, TLS everywhere, strong credential policies, audit everything. Never compromise on security.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

kanidm-expert is a skill published in the GitHub repository martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator (45 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 11,001 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (asks for root, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
