[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 0108 Add support for compatibility tree for trusted domain users

Hi!

Attached patch allows to enable serving trusted domain users and groups
through Schema Compatibilty plugin.

The patch only does FreeIPA master configuration settings, the real work
is done by the changes to slapi-nis plugin (in a separate email).

Since ipa-adtrust-install can safely be run multiple times, one can
re-run it on the IPA master to enable serving old clients, by specifying

ipa-adtrust-install --enable-compat

or answering 'yes' to the interactive question.

I have expanded man page for ipa-adtrust-install to cover this option.

Once enabled, following is possible:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI -b cn=compat,dc=vda,dc=li '(&(cn=domain admins at ad.lan)(objectclass=posixgroup))'
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started

and for users:

# ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI -b cn=compat,dc=vda,dc=li
# '(uid=administrator at ad.lan)'

# search result

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently PAM authentication is a bit broken due to yet-to-hunt bug in
SSSD or my environment (Jakub was unable to reproduce it) where SSSD
thinks that AD DC is offline during authentication step.

However, if you don't hit the bug, you can check authentication by doing
following bind and entering a password for your AD administrator:
# ldapsearch -D uid=administrator at ad.lan,cn=users,cn=compat,dc=vda,dc=li \
  -W -x -C -a always  -b dc=vda,dc=li '(uid=admin)'

The bind operation needs to be performed _after_ user lookup.

All these commands are only examples, I'm currently working on seeing
how to configure pam_ldap/nss_ldap to use compat plugin this way.

Subject: [PATCH] ipa-adtrust-install: configure compatibility tree to serve
 trusted domain users

Enables  support  for  trusted  domains  users  for old clients through Schema
Compatibility plugin.  SSSD supports trusted domains natively starting with
version 1.9 platform. For platforms that lack SSSD or run older SSSD version
one needs  to  use  this  option.  When  enabled, slapi-nis  package  needs  to
be  installed  and schema-compat-plugin will be configured to provide lookup of
users and groups from trusted domains via SSSD on IPA server. These users and
groups will be available under  cn=users,cn=compat,$SUFFIX  and
cn=groups,cn=compat,$SUFFIX trees.  SSSD will normalize names of users and
groups to lower case.

In  addition  to  providing  these users and groups through the compat tree,
this option enables authentication over LDAP for trusted domain users with DN
under compat tree, i.e. using bind DN uid=administrator at ad.domain,cn=users,cn=compat,$SUFFIX.

This authentication  is related to  PAM  stack  using  'system-auth' PAM
service. If you have disabled HBAC rule 'allow_all', then make sure there is
special service called 'system-auth' created and HBAC rule to allow access to
anyone to this rule on IPA masters is added. Please note that system-auth PAM
service is  not used directly by any other application, therefore it is safe to
create one specifically to support trusted domain users via compatibility path.
