Two remaining questions.
1) Creating the NFS user folders on the server itself is not a problem however I would like to trap events that indicate USER logged into a client host. On this event, a home directory could then be created on the FreeIPA side. Without such an event I can't precreate it. So when a user logs into a client machine, is there any SSSD call initiated to the FreeIPA server that would show up in a log for example that I could in turn use to run a small shell script to precreate the user's home folder, if it doesn't exist?
2) Is there a way to get SSSD to retrieve the unixHomeDirectory that's defined in the UNIX Attribute on the AD side? Would be handy if I want to control all home directory locations on the AD side. The override_homedir works to force a folder but when I try the %o option to override_homedir, it appears to take the FreeIPA default home directory, not the AD one.

Hey Guy's,
For newly added AD or IPA users, is there a way to automatically create the user folders on the FreeIPA server under say /nfs/home/bill, for example so that when the remote client logs in, it sees the NFS mounted folder?
Instructions that I can find right now require precreating the folders. Need them precreated via the FreeIPA master servers anytime someone attempts to login on a client using their AD credentials. Is this possible? Assume the NFS server will be local to the FreeIPA masters.
One needs to create home directories on the NFS server itself. If home directories are mounted via NFS, then you need to have enough permission to create the folder at the NFS root which is not what you'd want to allow a regular user. Thus, it needs to be solved outside of a log-in flow.
We don't provide any means to solve this in FreeIPA because file sharing/hosting is not a FreeIPA problem. If your NFS server is running on an IPA master, though, you might want to consider not using NFS mounts on that server itself. In this case a normal oddjob-based pam_mkhomedir would create the directories just fine.
Found steps like the one below but step 5) still requires pre creation of the folders.

This is not something FreeIPA can help with. We already have pam_oddjob_mkhomedir module and its default configuration provides you a way to create directories out of band using oddjob-mkhomedir helper. I think at the very least you can have a wrapper that: - would check some configuration and push a message to some server to create a home directory somewhere else - would wait for a response back that a directory is created (either by polling a home directory appearance or communicating some other way with the remote tool that creates a directory) - would otherwise call a standard helper provided by oddjob-mkhomedir

unixHomeDirectory is the default for ldap_user_home_directory for AD provider. Since all IPA trusted subdomains are using AD provider, unixHomeDirectory would just be used automatically.

I'm able to write a small python job that will send the username logging in to the remote server for directory creation. Not great but a start. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but curious how get the user logging in and pass it to this script from within the oddjobd daemon?
Anyway, I can't pass the user logging in into the code.

This is most likely due to the nfs mount having 'root_squash" set which prevents remote servers root from from writing as root (typically nobody or nfsnobody). If you are confident that the servers are secure, you could mount the NFS share with 'no_root_squash'. It has some security concerns but it would allow oddjob_mkhomedir to create homedirs. Another option would be to add '<allow user="apache"/>' in addition to root.

I use this in a cron job that's dropped by Puppet.
https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-simp_nfs/blob/master/templates/etc/cron....
https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-simp_nfs/blob/master/manifests/create_ho...
There's really no way to do this in real time without a LOT of additional infrastructure since you're looking at rapid cross-system based on enterprise-wide log processing. Users can generally wait the <=60 minutes that a cron job will entail.

Hey Guy's,
For newly added AD or IPA users, is there a way to automatically create the user folders on the FreeIPA server under say /nfs/home/bill, for example so that when the remote client logs in, it sees the NFS mounted folder?
Instructions that I can find right now require precreating the folders. Need them precreated via the FreeIPA master servers anytime someone attempts to login on a client using their AD credentials. Is this possible? Assume the NFS server will be local to the FreeIPA masters.
One needs to create home directories on the NFS server itself. If home directories are mounted via NFS, then you need to have enough permission to create the folder at the NFS root which is not what you'd want to allow a regular user. Thus, it needs to be solved outside of a log-in flow.
We don't provide any means to solve this in FreeIPA because file sharing/hosting is not a FreeIPA problem. If your NFS server is running on an IPA master, though, you might want to consider not using NFS mounts on that server itself. In this case a normal oddjob-based pam_mkhomedir would create the directories just fine.
Found steps like the one below but step 5) still requires pre creation of the folders.

I have no_root_squash enabled temporarily as I test everything out (It's only a LAB) and I can make the folder as root from within the client (ie by typing the command in myself) but it just doesn't work from within oddjobd / mkhomedir for some reason unless it's on a local UNIX filesystem. It appears only able to change directory to an NFS v4 mount, not actually create anything on it.
What I'm trying to do is follow an earlier suggestion and send the directory creation over to the NFS v4 Cluster I have by setting up a client-server type of python code. The code opens up a port on the NFSv4 server and accepts a set of messages. Then the client send the server a message and waits for a reply, then the client logs the user in once directory is created and available. I've succeeded so far as to get oddjobd to run my custom code and send 'something' over to the server but I can't get oddjobd to give up the user it's trying to create the directory for.
To be perfectly open, I'm not yet convinced having this TCP/IP client-server code would be much better then no_root_squash but optimistic that via python, I can provide better security in the long run, if not the short run.
Seems this might be related to the first problem above. Maybe I'm not getting a user via oddjobd.conf because the NFSv4 mount isn't recognized? (This is a guess and I'm really stretching here.)
It should be noted that I'm not using FreeIPA. This _might_ work since it's working when you try it from the commandline:
account required pam_exec.so /sbin/mkhomedir_helper $PAM_USER
Of course, that's essentially what the pam_mkhomedir module is doing...
Is there any chance SELinux is getting in the way?
I have several systems using NFSv4 and the oddjob dbus command runs fine from a script as a non-root user (with the config change I mentioned). The only time I've seen this fail is when it can't actually look up user info. I'm assuming the systems logs aren't providing any useful feedback? You might add 'debug' to the end of the pam configs that call oddjob to see if something more helpful shows up.

Two remaining questions.
- Creating the NFS user folders on the server itself is not a problem
however I would like to trap events that indicate USER logged into a client host. On this event, a home directory could then be created on the FreeIPA side. Without such an event I can't precreate it. So when a user logs into a client machine, is there any SSSD call initiated to the FreeIPA server that would show up in a log for example that I could in turn use to run a small shell script to precreate the user's home folder, if it doesn't exist?
This is not something FreeIPA can help with. We already have pam_oddjob_mkhomedir module and its default configuration provides you a way to create directories out of band using oddjob-mkhomedir helper. I think at the very least you can have a wrapper that:
- would check some configuration and push a message to some server to create a home directory somewhere else
- would wait for a response back that a directory is created (either by polling a home directory appearance or communicating some other way with the remote tool that creates a directory)
- would otherwise call a standard helper provided by oddjob-mkhomedir
See /etc/oddjobd.conf.d/oddjobd-mkhomedir.conf for details.
Ty. Yes, thinking along those lines. Netcat w/ bash maybe ( https://tinyurl.com/yat9k3hv), but simpler. Not sure yet.
I'm able to write a small python job that will send the username logging in to the remote server for directory creation. Not great but a start. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but curious how get the user logging in and pass it to this script from within the oddjobd daemon?
Anyway, I can't pass the user logging in into the code.
# cat oddjobd-mkhomedir.conf . . . <interface name="com.redhat.oddjob_mkhomedir">
<method name="mkmyhomedir"> <helper exec="/bin/it.py" arguments="0" prepend_user_name="yes"/> <!-- no acl entries -> not allowed for anyone --> </method> <method name="mkhomedirfor"> <helper exec="/bin/it.py ITDNWORK" arguments="1" prepend_user_name="yes"/> <allow user="root"/> </method> </interface>. . .
Btw, above mkhomedir doesn't work on NFS v4 mounted folders anyway.
- Is there a way to get SSSD to retrieve the unixHomeDirectory that's
defined in the UNIX Attribute on the AD side? Would be handy if I want to control all home directory locations on the AD side. The override_homedir works to force a folder but when I try the %o option to override_homedir, it appears to take the FreeIPA default home directory, not the AD one.
unixHomeDirectory is the default for ldap_user_home_directory for AD provider. Since all IPA trusted subdomains are using AD provider, unixHomeDirectory would just be used automatically.
Only override_homedir works for me. User 'tom' in AD has unixHomeDirectory set to /home/tom but on a unix client connected to FreeIPA home directory is always /home/my.dom/tom instead of just /home/tom .

I noted before that we have a Kerberized mkhomedir. There’s a pam module, pam_kmkhomedir. It does a kerberized call to a service on the NFS server or some other system that has the file system mounted in a way that it can create directories. We did this because we use Kerberized NFS. Root can’t create home directories if NFS is kerberized. However presumably a daemon on the NFS server can. Since we use a Netapp, we had to do a non-Kerberos export to a secure service host, and run the daemon there. But normally I’d expect the daemon to run on the NFS server itself.

This is most likely due to the nfs mount having 'root_squash" set which prevents remote servers root from from writing as root (typically nobody or nfsnobody). If you are confident that the servers are secure, you could mount the NFS share with 'no_root_squash'. It has some security concerns but it would allow oddjob_mkhomedir to create homedirs. Another option would be to add '<allow user="apache"/>' in addition to root. =G= On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 3:53 AM, TomK <tomkcpr@mdevsys.com mailto:tomkcpr@mdevsys.com> wrote: On 2/28/2018 11:19 PM, TomK wrote: On 2/27/2018 3:40 AM, Alexander Bokovoy wrote: On ti, 27 helmi 2018, TomK via FreeIPA-users wrote: On 2/26/2018 1:27 AM, Alexander Bokovoy via FreeIPA-users wrote: Thanks Alex. + SSSD mailing list.
