Hi Thu, Rob, and All, 

Have you made the necessary migration to FreeIPA. I too have migrated from an 
OpenLDAP to freeipa but have encountered some problems.  
 
After I have imported all the users from the OpenLDAP server to FreeIPA, I 
can't seem to get a Kerberos ticket.  Is there any workaround on how I can make 
this migration work.  All the entries have been successfully added and bind to 
the FreeIPA server works but doing kinit doesn't.

TIA.

John Robert Mendoza

Thanks Rob very much. I will try of course on the test system :)

We don't currently have instructions on how to do this.



Basically what you need to do is:



- install freeIPA

- get an ldif dump of your OpenLDAP server

- remove any unneeded structural and configuration options from the ldif

- convert this ldif to the IPA DIT

- load the ldif



You can see the DIT we use at http://freeipa.org/page/UsingRhdsWithIpa



When converting to our DIT you'll also need to ensure that the user

entries are set up properly. This means having:



- the krbprincipalname attribute set to <uid>@<REALM>

- update the objectclass list

- set gidnumber to the ipausers group



You'll end up with a bunch of users that will work with simple auth but

don't have kerberos keys yet so kinit will fail. You'll need to create

some mechanism where they authenticate using their user password in

order to get kerberos keys.



And of course, do this on a test system first to make sure I haven't

missed something :-)
