[Freeipa-users] Solaris 10 as IPA Client?

[Sigbjorn Lie]

Use Base DN: dc=unix,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz. Make sure you've configured 
bluecoat to do search sub, and not search one.

You should really speak to Bluecoat support about how to configure your 
appliance. IPA merely provides a LDAP server. There is loads of 
different ways applications is configured to use LDAP.

Some appliances wants just a true/false, such as using a LDAP search, if 
a result is found the search is true, if a result is not found the 
search is considered false. Such as: 
'(&(objectclass=person)(memberOf=cn=internet-access,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=test,dc=com)(uid=username))' 
will return a record if the requested user is a member of the group, and 
return nothing if the user is not a member of the group. I just used a 
similar configuration for Squid.

Other appliances want to be pointed at a group or a set of groups, where 
the appliance contains the required logic for searching for users within 
the group or groups. If you do this, you need to configure the 
objectclasses and attributes it's looking for, as this varies between 
different LDAP servers. This is usually configurable within the appliance.

Run "ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI -b dc=unix,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz 
cn=internet-access" on your IPA server to see what object classes and 
attributes is associated with your internet-access group. This should 
give you some hints for how to configure your appliances.

What you need is some knowledge of LDAP, and to work with your vendors 
to figure out how they should be configured to work with IPA.

BTW, for a proxy appliance I believe you want Kerberos authentication to 
provide single sign on, and use LDAP merely to do the authorization.

Siggi
