February 2022 - FreeIPA-users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Yehuda Katz

We have an operational need to track the userClass attribute for our IPA hosts over time, specifically in a git repository (don't ask). I thought of several ways of doing this and I am looking for suggestions as to the best option. I also want to make the smallest possible modifications to FreeIPA. 1. Monitor the `cn=changelog` tree for changes affecting hosts. We would keep the last date our script ran and query the tree for items more recent than that. The major issue is that it doesn't look like you can query for ">=" against modifyTimestamp (at least, I get no results). 2. I found references to FreeIPA using `RFC 4533` instead of the old changelog sync. It seems like that might have been superseded by RFC 3928, but I can't find any documentation about that. I have also found references to 389ds supporting Persistent Searches, but again there doesn't seem to be great documentation. I am not sure I want to implement something without documentation about it being a supported feature. Both options 1 and 2 would probably need a full sync every so often to make sure they didn't miss changes. 3. Create a FreeIPA plugin. This seems like overkill since I just need LDAP data and we would need to make sure it gets installed on all of our systems. 4. Just schedule a normal LDAP query every so often (i.e. maybe once an hour) and assume that changes aren't made so quickly that anything important would be lost. I like this option least since I don't know that I can trust that assumption. Any thoughts about these (or other) methods? Thank you, - Y

new DNS setup

by Stephen Berg, Code 7309

New-ish ipa-4.9.6 setup on rocky linux 8.5. Initially we just setup the basic IPA services without DNS. I've started setting up ipa-dns now and not quite sure what the best way to proceed. Hypothetical settings: All hosts are set up as: hostname.domain.com All hosts have an alias: hostname.realm.domain.com I do not administer the authoritative DNS but I can add and delete records for the areas I manage. We currently run a few dnsmasq servers on our subnets with manually managed /etc/hosts on each. I want to utilize the ipa-dns to take over for our dnsmasq servers. I've done the ipa-dns-install, pointed forwarders to our authoritative DNS servers. What I can't quite wrap my head around is the best way to proceed from that point? Should I add the zone for the realm version hostnames and a separate zone for the domain level hostnames? Or add one zone and then add a CNAME for the other hostname? Should the zone I setup be the hostname.realm.domain version or the hostname.domain version. Or does it really matter much? I do have quite a few hostnames that do not have a realm hostname setup. They are mostly service ports and won't ever be bound to IPA. After starting to add some of those I seem to be unable to resolve them to an IP. -- Stephen Berg, IT Specialist, Ocean Sciences Division, Code 7309 Naval Research Laboratory W: (228) 688-5738 DSN: (312) 823-5738 C: (228) 365-0162 Email: stephen.berg(a)nrlssc.navy.mil <- (Preferred contact) Flank Speed: stephen.p.berg.civ(a)us.navy.mil

How to configure random serial numbers for the CA in the Docker container

by Mark Sibering

I am running FreeIPA 4.9.8 as a Docker container and Firefox refuses the certificate as the serial has been reused. I found this post: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747959 and this post: https://galenabell.com/2018/10/23/random-certificate-serials-in-freeipa/, but the files mentioned do no longer exist in FreeIPA 4.9.8 (or I cannot find them). I tried adding: ``` PKI_RANDOM_SERIAL_NUMBERS_ENABLED="true" export PKI_RANDOM_SERIAL_NUMBERS_ENABLED ``` to /usr/share/pki/etc/pki.conf and I tried adding PKI_RANDOM_SERIAL_NUMBERS_ENABLED=TRUE as environment variable in the docker-compose file. Neither worked. During install I see the variable being set to false in the logs. Any suggestion on how to have random serials after an unattended install?

SSHFP records

by Simon Matthews

When enrolling a client, I get the message: Could not update DNS SSHFP records. Everything seems to be working. Is this an issue I need to worry about? The reason it can't update these records is that the master DNS for the network is on a different server and it needs a TSIG in order to accept an update.

certificate management - best practices - ?

by lejeczek

Hi guys. I ponder what I think must be trivial for at the same time, also an obvious idea - services & hosts. All the hosts, domain members and all possible or maybe just a handful services, one might run on those hosts - should you want a unique certificate for each host+service or perhaps a single cert for a host which then be used by all services on the host, is a better practice? All ideas & notions shared are greatly appreciated. many thanks, L.

Need help with confusing query results

by Edward Valley

Hi there. I'm using latest FreeIPA available on Rocky Linux 8.5 VERSION: 4.9.6, API_VERSION: 2.245 When I run the following LDAP query: ldapsearch -H "ldap://idm-host:389" -x -s sub \ -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w "dm-password" \ -b "cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=..." \ '(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)' \ uid entryUUID I get the following result: (entryUUID is present) # user1, users, accounts, ... dn: uid=user1,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=... uid: user1 entryUUID: aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee # user2, users, accounts, ... dn: uid=user2,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=... uid: user2 entryUUID: aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-ffffffffffff But, when I use this query: ldapsearch -H "ldap://idm-host:389" -x -s sub \ -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w "dm-password" \ -b "cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=..." \ '(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=user1))' \ uid entryUUID The result is this one: (No entryUUID attribute) # user1, users, accounts, ... dn: uid=user1,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=... uid: user1 Can somebody please guide me on what's happening here? If you need more info just tell me. Thank you very much.

by Sascha Hartl

Hello I'm looking for a solution to use IPA and AD Users via IPA-provider for xorg Sessions on OL8. I've found some methods with "access_provider = ad" or "access_provider = simple" but i use "access_provider = ipa" in the sssd.conf to enforce rules. The login an sudo-rulset works fine, i added the service xrdp to the rules on the server. sssd.conf [domain/mydomain.com] id_provider = ipa dns_discovery_domain = mydomain.com ipa_server = server.mydomain.com ipa_domain = mydomain.com ipa_hostname = host.mydomain.com auth_provider = ipa chpass_provider = ipa access_provider = ipa cache_credentials = True ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/ipa/ca.crt krb5_store_password_if_offline = True ldap_sudo_smart_refresh_interval = 900 ldap_sudo_full_refresh_interval = 300 [sssd] services = nss, pam, ssh, sudo domains = mydomain.com [nss] homedir_substring = /home [pam] [sudo] [autofs] [ssh] [pac] [ifp] [secrets] but i don't know if i have to set some informations in the xrdp.ini [Xorg] name=Xorg lib=libxup.so username=ask password=ask ip=127.0.0.1 port=-1 code=20
