User is created by an external tool. User activation in IPA is done by a script on one of the IPA servers periodically. Sadly, the external tool cannot do an initial LDAP bind in order to create a users's krb LDAP attributes. I am looking for a simple way these properties are created.
Sure I could say a user has to SSH somewhere but why can't that happen if a user tries to login to IPA's WebGUI and the krb properties are missing? Or is there another option for users to accomplish this?
Because the IPA WebUI uses the Kerberos extension S4U2Proxy under the hood. It allows the WebUI to talk to the LDAP server on behalf of the user. This feature require a proper Kerberos credentials. See https://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Service_Constraint_Delegation
I already mentioned the recommended option to archive this a while ago. You may have missed the piece of information in this very long thread. IPA servers have a special /ipa/migration route (e.g. https://ipa.demo1.freeipa.org/ipa/migration/) for password migration. Under the hood the endpoint just does an LDAP bind with username and password. You can ask your users to either log into a machine with ssh or go to the migration page.
I did indeed miss that vital information. It is more than sufficient for our needs.
Thanks a lot guys. All scenarios that need to be working in our environment do actually work now.
Did something change on the IPA side? Newly created users cannot login to the WebGUI anymore. They get a "Your session has expired" error. Might have to do with this thread: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/freeipa-users@lists.fedorahoste...
You don't provide enough information to tell. Did you upgrade versions?
Per the link, do your users have SIDs?
I was asking in an unspecific way because I knew that you would have some sort of suspicion...
You were absolutely right. The user does not have a SID. Which information do you need in order to further investigate the problem?
There are a bunch of threads in freeipa-users that describe how to troubleshoot this.
