Very slow response from Web UI and command line on master server
by Alex Georgopoulos 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Recently we have noticed that our master server is borderline unusable. The webui will time out with the message 'Web UI got in unrecoverable state during "metadata" phase.' Running commands on the command line take minutes to run. While trouble shooting this I found these errors in the http error_log. DOMAIN.NET is our redacted name.

IPAM that integrates well with FreeIPA
by TomK 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hey Guy's, I'm looking for an IPAM (IP Address Management) tool that will integrate with FreeIPA to provide: 1) IP Management 2) Provides DHCP 3) *Integrates well with FreeIPA* Many of the tools I saw provide conflicting capabilities. Would be great if the IPAM tool checked FreeIPA to see if the IP is already used. Has anyone come across such a tool and tried it with FreeIPA? -- Cheers, Tom K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Living on earth is expensive, but it includes a free trip around the sun.

ipa service vault - cannot find
by Dmitry Perets 02 Mar '19

02 Mar '19

Hi, Sorry, I am probably missing something very basic in the way how the vault should work for services... So my task is simple: let's say I want to store a secret for a script. That is, the script must be able to retrieve it in an unattended way. The script is running on a Linux server server.mydomain.com, which is enrolled in FreeIPA domain. The script is running under user "svc-user" which I've created on the FreeIPA just for that (so, its principal is svc-user(a)MYDOMAIN.COM). Additionally, I've also created a service "MYSVC" on the FreeIPA (so I now also have the principal MYSVC\server.mydomain.com(a)MYDOMAIN.COM). Finally, I did not set any password for the user "svc-user" and I've configured its shell to be /sbin/nologin. Not sure if it will make any difference. And now, with all this ready, I am trying to store my secret as admin, so that my script can retrieve it. I create a vault (I tried also standard one, but here I am showing an example with asymmetrical one, because all examples I found use it): kinit admin <Entering password for admin> ipa vault-add svc-vault --service MYSVC\server.mydomain.com --type asymmetric --public-key-file svc.pub.pem ipa vault-archive svc-vault --service MYSVC\server.mydomain.com --data <secret_data_in_base64> OK, secret is stored. And here is my vault: # ipa vault-find --services --------------- 1 vault matched --------------- Vault name: svc-vault Type: asymmetric Vault service: MYSVC\server.mydomain.com(a)MYDOMAIN.COM ---------------------------- Number of entries returned 1 ---------------------------- Finally, I generate a keytab for my script: ipa-getkeytab -p MYSVC\server.mydomain.com -k /var/kerberos/krb5/user/856500016/client.keytab OK... now I clean up with "kdestroy" and try to run my script as a user "svc-user". And the script is trying to do this: kinit MYSVC\server.mydomain.com -k -t /var/kerberos/krb5/user/856500016/client.keytab klist ipa vault-find --services ... And the problem is that it simply doesn't find the svc-vault. It does seem like it manages to get the Kerberos ticket, this is the output from klist (inside the script): Default principal: MYSVC\server.mydomain.com(a)MYDOMAIN.COM Valid starting Expires Service principal 02/27/2019 17:04:58 02/28/2019 17:04:58 krbtgt/MYDOMAIN.COM(a)MYDOMAIN.COM Now... If I add the user "svc-user" as a member to my svc-vault, add the svc-user to the keytab and then use "kinit svc-user" in my script, then it seems to work. But I don't understand then the whole point of "service vault"... what's the purpose of the MYSVC/server.mydomain.com principle here actually...? And another question - can't exactly the same (with "svc-user" in keytab) work also for a standard vault, without keys...? Because it looks like it becomes exactly the same usecase as if I just interactively use the vault shared with svc-user... Thanks!

Set up ipa-client via Ansible
by Ronald Wimmer 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Hi, I set up relevant ansible files exaclty like described in: https://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/ClientInstallationWithAnsible#Ansible_ipacl… The ipaclient role was fetched from here: https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa/tree/master/roles Uninstalling an ipaclient works. Installing an ipaclient fails with: > ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled > module name, or incorrect module path. > > The error appears to have been in '/srv/ansible/install.yml': line 12, > column 5, but may > be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. > > The offending line appears to be: > > > - name: Configure IPA client > ^ here Most likely the ipaclient module cannot be found. I downloaded https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa/tree/master/module_utils and put the three python files into the library directory next to my install.yml playbook file. I also put them into ~/.ansible/plugins/modules. But that still did not work. This is my install.yml: > --- > - name: Playbook to configure IPA clients with username/password > hosts: ipaclients > become: true > > tasks: > - name: Install IPA client package > package: > name: ipa-client > state: present > > - name: Configure IPA client > ipaclient: > state: present > domain: "{{ ipaclient_domain }}" > realm: "{{ ipaclient_realm }}" > principal: "{{ ipaclient_principal }}" > password: "{{ ipaclient_password }}" > extra_args: "{{ ipaclient_extraargs }}" And this my inventory file: > [ipaclients] > ipa-test.linux.mydomain.at > > [ipaclients:vars] > ipaclient_domain=linux.mydomain.at > ipaclient_realm=LINUX.MYDOMAIN.AT > #ipaclient_extraargs=[ '--kinit-attempts=3', '--mkhomedir'] > ipaclient_principal=enroll > ipaclient_password=somepass What am I missing here? Cheers, Ronald

Autofs maps for students directories divided by first letter of username
by Kristian Petersen 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Is there a way to set up the maps to mount a users home directory if they are divided up under a directory that is the first letter of their username without mounting all such directories for every user? We have thousands of students needing home directories and so they have divided up this way. Example: /home/students/a/aardvark or /home/students/b/bugsbunny. The docs I have read on autofs maps haven't been very clear on how to define this kind of mapping, especially in FreeIPA. -- Kristian Petersen System Administrator BYU Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry
