Hi All, I have recently applied the CentOS 7.4 updates which includes installation of FreeIPA 4.5. Prior to the update we were running CentOS 7.3 (the original OS for this system) and FreeIPA 4.4 and the platform has been regularly updated without issue. We operate a master and replica pair at a single location.
Since upgrading to FreeIPA 4.5 user authentication is behaving inconsistently with relation to OTP - we use password+OTP for all user authentication. Our platform is available behind a VPN provided by a Cisco ASA where the authentication is handled by FreeIPA using an interim LDAP bind on a dedicated system account (i.e. https://www.freeipa.org/page/HowTo/LDAP). Since the update *this connection does not accept OTP* tokens but does work with password only - in contrast with our security policy. Once connected the user can then SSH into the system - for this connection the normal authentication (password+otp) works - password only does not work here. With an SSH session to the IPA master I can run ldapsearch and authenticate with password+otp only. The web UI also requires password+otp. To clarify the system should not accept any user logins using password only and the acceptance of this on our VPN connection quite concerning. Is anyone able to offer advice on how to dig deeper and resolve the issue?

Not sure if that is at all relevant. Each popup appears in the apache error log as separate GSSAPI errors - shown below. Not a problem, just different. -- [Mon Sep 18 14:09:07.974254 2017] [auth_gssapi:error] [pid 7810] [client 172.18.0.1:53298] NO AUTH DATA Client did not send any authentication headers, referer: https://pci-fram-ipa1.domain.net/ipa/ui/ [Mon Sep 18 14:09:09.712143 2017] [auth_gssapi:error] [pid 3101] [client 172.18.0.1:53304] NO AUTH DATA Client did not send any authentication headers, referer: https://pci-fram-ipa1.domain.net/ipa/ui/ -- Thanks, Calllum -- Callum Guy Head of Information Security X-on -- *0333 332 0000 | www.x-on.co.uk <http://www.x-on.co.uk> | ** <https://www.linkedin.com/company/x-on> <https://www.facebook.com/XonTel> <https://twitter.com/xonuk> * X-on is a trading name of Storacall Technology Ltd a limited company registered in England and Wales.
