Auto cleanup old enrolled hosts
by Russ Long 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

We're adding FreeIPA to an immutable, often rotated environment (AWS ECS Hosts). These hosts are spun up and down at least daily. Is there a way to check FreeIPA to see when a host has last communicated with the FreeIPA Cluster? I'd like to use this information to auto-delete hosts that have not reported in from the FreeIPA host list.

New plugin almost ready - postfixadmin
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 12 Nov '23

12 Nov '23

Hi, I have almost finished a plugin for FreeIPA, so that admins can have similar functionality found on Postfix Admin. https://github.com/oculos/freeipa-postfixadmin/blob/main/README.md freeipa-postfixadmin/README.md at main · oculos/freeipa-postfixadmin github.com There is already a good plugin that does a bit of that, but the goal is a bit different. My main goal is not to mix up postfix configuration with groups and hosts, but have separate entities for domain, aliases and virtual domains, in addition to mailboxes. It was written mostly to allow me to migrate my mailboxes from MySQL to FreeIPA, and I don’t have a huge postfix configuration - I only have multiple domains, mailboxes, aliases and virtual domains, so that’s the functionality I wanted with this plugin. There are a few things missing before this can go in production («production» here means to actually migrate my mailboxes to FreeIPA), adding a mailbox to ipa users on the gui being the most important one. I would appreciate any comments and feedbacks regarding this plugin. It wasn’t easy to understand the logic on how to write one, but I got the hang of it (for simple stuff). Best, Francis

Allow sysaccount to view its own entry
by Adam Bishop 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

I have a piece of software that tries to look up its own uid to check that LDAP is correctly configured. This check fails because the sysaccount cannot view anything under cn=etc,cn=sysaccounts. Is there an existing permission/privilege that I can use to allow it to read the sysaccounts tree (or better, just its own entry)? Many Thanks, Adam Bishop

Installing FreeIPA server + replica using Ansible Role FreeIPA
by Finn Fysj 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

The installation of IPA server and replica does not produce desired result. Even though the mkhomedir is set to true the feature is not enabled in the authselect. Also the replica server does not replicate SUDO and HBAC rules from the IPA master. Is the only solution to re-install the whole IPA server/replicas stuff? Kinda stupid. Example of the IPA server role: - role: freeipa.ansible_freeipa.ipaserver vars: ipaserver: "{{ ansible_hostname }}.example" ipaserver_hostname: "{{ ansible_hostname }}.example" ipaadmin_password: "test123" ipadm_password: "test321" ipaserver_domain: "example.com" ipaserver_realm: "EXAMPLE.COM" ipaserver_no_host_dns: true ipaserver_mem_check: true ipaserver_install_packages: true ipaserver_setup_dns: false ipaserver_no_pkinit: true ipaserver_no_hbac_allow: true ipaserver_no_ui_redirect: false ipaclient_no_ntp: true ipaclient_mkhomedir: true ipaclient_no_sudo: false

by T A 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

On FreeIPA version 4.6.8-5 realized that pki-tomcatd wouldnt start ipactl status pki-tomcatd Service: STOPPED Ran 'getcert list' and found the 'pki-tomcat' cert was expired Rolled back the system clock to before the cert expired, now starts up ipactl status pki-tomcatd Service: STARTED Tried to renew with 'ipa-getcert resubmit -i "123456"' but it shows "status: CA_UNREACHABLE" 'ipa-cert fix' didnt work either Checked logs again 'journalctl -t certmonger' and found 'ns-slapd' was giving out this error when it tried to renew 'csngen_adjust_local_time - Adjustment limit exceeded: value - 435060 limit - 86400' Any way to change the adjustment limit or force this cert to renew anyway?

kinit: KDC can't fulfill requested option while renewing credentials - which approach?
by Pieter Baele 20 Sep '23

20 Sep '23

I tried various approached to get Renewable tickets : modifying the kdc modifying krb5.conf using kadmin.local on every replica to modify the principal; which is not working - as designed (?)- in IPA What should I do to get a ticket with the correct R flag from IPA ? I don't think this is SSSD related (the service needing the renewable ticket this way is Apache Storm) Thanks a lot!

AIX - IPA group membership
by Ronald Wimmer 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

I can and use IPA users on an AIX client. As well as groups. But somehow group membership does not seem to be configured correctly... # id y179768 uid=1246660005(y179768) gid=1246660005(y179768) # lsgroup -R LDAP ipa-aix-g ipa-aix-g id=1246690508 users= registry=LDAP Anyone has a hint what could be misconfigured?

2FA only for certain hosts/host groups
by Ronald Wimmer 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Is it possible to enforce the second factor for a user only when trying to login to specific hosts/host groups? List here says yes... https://blog.delouw.ch/2016/10/16/freeipa-selective-2fa-authentication-indi… I'm gonna give it a try. Cheers, Ronald

Custom ssl cert for freeipa docker
by Leo O 26 Aug '23

26 Aug '23

Hello Guys, I'm would like to use custom ssl certificates for http and ldap, I saw the following: https://www.freeipa.org/page/Using_3rd_part_certificates_for_HTTP/LDAP But I wonder how would this be done when using freeipa in a docker/podman container. I mean the container is started with "--read-only" flag. So it's not clear to me what the correct approach here would be. I hope it's not that you have to re-build an own image with the ssl certificates every time? Background Info: I'm using acme.sh in a VM, which creates my wildcard letsencrypt certificates and puts them on an nfs share. Freeipa should simply use that certificates for http and ldap and that's it. No renewing as this is done by the acme.sh VM itself.

Visibility/access of Freeipa users to windows on trusted AD
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Hi, I have searched this everywhere, but can't find it. I want to grant access to a FreeIPA user to a Windows machine. When I try to grant the user access on windows, adding it like FREEIPADOMAIN\freeipauser, I get an error. There is a trust between both domains, but every place where I see the trusted domain on Windows (for example when configuring a GPO) I can't search for FreeIPA users. Is this how it is supposed to be, or how can I see my FreeIPA users on Windows the same way I see AD users on my freeipa linux clients? Best, Francis -- Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay Oslo, Norway
