Re: [Freeipa-users] FreeIPA backend. Mavericks server shows UIDs instead of usernames in File Sharing.

2014-04-23 Thread Fredy Sanchez
Hi all,

Sorry for the delay.

I am sharing with you a couple of scripts and files we use to enroll our
Macs (ML and Mavericks) into our FreeIPA domain. Using Luggage (
https://github.com/unixorn/luggage), we package all of these into a one
click installer that can be deployed via ARD, Munki, etc. Now, our
environment has very specific requirements, so feel free to ask if there's
something you don't understand or that seems incomplete.

These assume you already know what FreeIPA is, and have it up and running.
These also assume that all the server pre-staging (for example, that all
applicable DNS records are already created) for the enrollee is done. In
sum, these are ideal if all you are missing is to start enrolling Macs into
the FreeIPA domain. And you'll have to modify the files to match your
FreeIPA domain; we are using example.com for this.

The preflight script (freeipa-client-preinstall.sh) will clean the
environment of the enrollee, and backup existing files that will be
modified during the enrollment process. It
* Sets the DNS search domain
* Adds a local search domain to the enrollee to speed up the login
process if no FreeIPA server is available during login
* Backs up edu.mit.Kerberos if it exists
* Backs up krb5.conf if it exists
* Backs up any existing LDAP info
* Backs up /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist

The postflight script (freeipa-client-postinstall.sh) performs the
enrollment. It
* Sets email notifications to know if the enrollment failed or succeeded.
These notifications will include the who and the why, and a hardware
profile from the enrollee that we find useful
* Sets and tests many variables needed for a successful enrollment like NTP
syncing, a valid hostname, and whether or not all applicable hosts resolve
thru your DNS servers
* Adjusts /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow to work properly w/
FreeIPA accounts
* Gets opendirectoryd ready for FreeIPA
* Enrolls the host to FreeIPA thru multiple keytab manipulations
* Gets around problems with anonymous binds in LDAP by using a hidden
user for enrollments
* Configures the SSH client for GSSAPI authentication
* Creates host keys and adds them to FreeIPA
* Deletes local user account and leaves home directory intact. This will
allow the owner of the machine to log back in using his/her FreeIPA
credentials w/out noticing any changes. Of course, for this to happen
transparently the home directory has to be massaged. Please let me know if
you'd like to know how we do this. I am omitting the details for now as
this outside the scope, me thinks.

The files inside the Payload folder are:

The authorization and screensaver files are FreeIPA ready ones. The
postflight script above puts them where they need to go
(/private/etc/pam.d).

The postflight will add a /private/etc/ipa folder to the enrollee. This
folder must contain the following files: ca-crt, ca-crt-selfsigned,
example.enroll.keytab. These will make more sense as you go thru the code.
These are private, so I am not sharing them.

The postflight script will also put FreeIPA ready versions of
edu.mit.Kerberos and multiple LDAP config files where they need to go
(follow the folder structure in the .zip file attached). These we are
sharing; you will have to modify them to match your FreeIPA domain.

And this is it. Apologies for the long read. We welcome your feedback; if
you have any please send it my way :-)

reinstalling the Mac server app from scratch, re-binding to the 
FreeIPA backend, changing mappings in Directory Utility (for example, 
mapping GeneratedUID to uid, which is the username), recreating the 
shares and permissions, etc. Here are more details about the binding:


* The binding happens thru a custom package we created based primarily 
on 
http://linsec.ca/Using_FreeIPA_for_User_Authentication#Mac_OS_X_10.7.2F10.8
* Sys Prefs, Users  Groups, Login Options show the server bound to 
the FreeIPA backend with the green dot
* The following mappings are in place in Directory Utility, Services, 
LDAPv3, FreeIPA backend

Users: inetOrgPerson
 AuthenticationAuthority: uid
 GeneratedUID: random number in uppercase
 HomeDirectory: #/Users/$uid$
 NFSHomeDirectory: #/Users/$uid$
 OriginalHomeDirectory: #/Users/$uid$
 PrimaryGroupID: gidNumber
 RealName: cn
 RecordName: uid
 UniqueID: uidNumber


I do not have a clue about such setup but if the UID shows somewhere it 
should not be and there is a mapping attribute that can be mapped to 
different unique identifiers and currently points to UID I would start 
there. Have you tried mapping UniqueID to uid instead of uidNumber?



 UserShell: loginShell
Groups: posixgroup
 PrimaryGroupID: gidNumber
 RecordName: cn
The search bases are correct
* Directory Utility, Directory Editor shows the right info for the users.
* $ id $USERNAME shows the right information for the user

FreeIPA is working beautifully for our Mac / Linux environment. We 
provide directory services to about 300 hosts, and 200 employees using 
it; and haven't had any problems LDAP wise until now. So we think we 
are missing a mapping here. Any ideas?

[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA backend. Mavericks server shows UIDs instead of usernames in File Sharing.

2014-04-12 Thread Fredy Sanchez
Hi all,

We asked this same question at discussions.apple.com, but figured we'd have
better luck here. I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum.

We are switching from Synology (DSM 5) to Mavericks server (v3.1.1. running
in Mavericks 10.9.2) for File Sharing. We use a FreeIPA (ipa-server.x86_64
3.0.0-37.el6) backend for SSO, and the Mac server seems correctly
bound to it. Unfortunately, although we can add usernames to the shares for
the initial config, the usernames transform to UIDs after (only for SSO
accounts; local accounts are not affected). That is, when we go to edit the
permissions for a share, all we see are UIDs. We can always figure out the
username from the UID, but this is an extra step we don't want to have.
We've tried reinstalling the Mac server app from scratch, re-binding to the
FreeIPA backend, changing mappings in Directory Utility (for example,
mapping GeneratedUID to uid, which is the username), recreating the shares
and permissions, etc. Here are more details about the binding:

* The binding happens thru a custom package we created based primarily on
http://linsec.ca/Using_FreeIPA_for_User_Authentication#Mac_OS_X_10.7.2F10.8
