With old servers, it is possible that xmlclient.connect() succeeds
but commands fail with a Kerberos error.
Verify that commands succeed by sending a ping after connecting.
Follow-up to: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3931
To make sure the installation works with older servers,
use XML-RPC directly, with a version set explicitly so the request
is not rejected.
RPC was chosen over ldapmodify, because going through the API allows
the server to process the request properly, or even cleanly reject
it if there are incompatible changes in future versions.

Use 'getent admin@domain' rather than 'getent admin@REALM' to check if nss

name does not match.

Some of the FileErrors in ipa-client-install were raised incorrectly
(without the 'reason' argument), which resulted in bad error messages
during ipa-client-install.

Add the --automount-location option to ipa-client-install. If the option is
used, ipa-client-automount is called at the end of ipa-client-install.

Improve handling of command line options related to forced client re-enrollment
in ipa-client-install:
* Make --keytab and --principal options mutually exclusive.
* Warn that using --force-join together with --keytab provides no additional
functionality.

nss-pam-ldapd in 0.8.4 changed the default to map uniqueMember to
member so it is no longer needed in the config file, and in fact
causes an error to be raised.
Add a Conflicts on older versions.

We should respect already configured options present in
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf when generating our own configuration.
With this patch, we only rewrite URI, BASE and TLS_CACERT options
only if they are not configured. In the case they are, our suggested
configuration is inserted as a comment.
Also adds tab as a delimeter character in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf

This patch makes sure that sss is not removed from nsswitch.conf
which causes probles with later uses of sssd. Makes sure that
authconfig with --disablesssd option is not executed during
ipa client uninstall.

When client enrollment fails due to the fact that host entry
already exists on the server, display an message informing the
user about the possibility of using --force-join option.

Make sure /etc/ipa is created and owned by freeipa-python package.
Report correct error to user if /etc/ipa is missing during client installation.

The CA cert (/etc/ipa/ca.crt) was not being removed
on client uninstall, causing failure on subsequent client
installation in some cases.

CA certificate retrieval function did not fallback from LDAP to
HTTP based retrieval in case of an LDAP error, when for example
GSSAPI authentication failed.

In client discovery module, we used to run up to three discovery
processes even though we received a fixed list of servers to connect
to. This could result in up to 3 identical "not an IPA server" error
messages when the passed server is not an IPA server.
Error out immediately when we are discovering against a fixed set
of servers.

Parts of client uninstall logic could be skipped in attended
uninstallation if user agreed to reboot the machine. Particulary,
the uninstall script would not try to remove /etc/ipa/default.conf
and therefore subsequent installation would fail, client being
detected as already configured.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3462https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3463
A host that has been recreated and does not have its
host entry disabled or removed, can be re-enrolled using
a previously backed up keytab file.
A new option --keytab has been added to ipa-client-install. This
can be used to specify path to the keytab and can be used instead
of -p or -w options.
A new option -f has been added to ipa-join. It forces client to
join even if the host entry already exits. A new certificate,
ssh keys are generated, ipaUniqueID stays the same.

When installing / uninstalling IPA client, the checks that
determine whether IPA client is installed now take the existence
of /etc/ipa/default.conf into consideration.
The client will not uninstall unless either something is backed
up or /etc/ipa/default.conf file does exist.
The client will not install if something is backed up or
default.conf file does exist (unless it's installation on master).
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3331
Change the discovery code to validate all servers, regardless of where
the originated (either via SRV records or --server). This will prevent
the client installer from failing if one of those records points to a
server that is either not running or is not an IPA server.
If a server is not available it is not removed from the list of configured
servers, simply moved to the end of the list.
If a server is not an IPA server it is removed.

Check to see if NSS is initialized before trying to do so again.
If we are temporarily creating a certificate be sure to delete it in order
to remove references to it and avoid NSS shutdown issues.
In the certificate load validator shut down NSS if we end up initializing
it. I'm not entirely sure why but this prevents a later shutdown issue
if we are passed the --ca-cert-file option.
Major changes ipa-client-install:
* Use GSSAPI connection to LDAP server to download CA cert (now
the default method)
* Add --ca-cert-file option to load the CA cert from a disk file.
Validate the file. If this option is used the supplied CA cert
is considered definitive.
* The insecure HTTP retrieval method is still supported but it must be
explicitly forced and a warning will be emitted.
* Remain backward compatible with unattended case (except for aberrant
condition when preexisting /etc/ipa/ca.crt differs from securely
obtained CA cert, see below)
* If /etc/ipa/ca.crt CA cert preexists the validate it matches the
securely acquired CA cert, if not:
- If --unattended and not --force abort with error
- If interactive query user to accept new CA cert, if not abort
In either case warn user.
* If interactive and LDAP retrieval fails prompt user if they want to
proceed with insecure HTTP method
* If not interactive and LDAP retrieval fails abort unless --force
* Backup preexisting /etc/ipa/ca.crt in FileStore prior to execution,
if ipa-client-install fails it will be restored.
Other changes:
* Add new exception class CertificateInvalidError
* Add utility convert_ldap_error() to ipalib.ipautil
* Replace all hardcoded instances of /etc/ipa/ca.crt in
ipa-client-install with CACERT constant (matches existing practice
elsewhere).
* ipadiscovery no longer retrieves CA cert via HTTP.
* Handle LDAP minssf failures during discovery, treat failure to check
ldap server as a warninbg in absebce of a provided CA certificate via
--ca-cert-file or though existing /etc/ipa/ca.crt file.

authconfig component changed its behavior. It no longer starts and
enables SSSD daemon when --enablesssd and --enablesssdauth options
are used. It only enables the PAM module and adds SSSD to nsswitch.
Enable SSSD on new client/server installs manually. Also make sure
that we stop&disable SSSD when we delete the configuration.

In summary this patch does:
* Follow the defined rules for cookies when:
- receiving a cookie (process the attributes)
- storing a cookie (store cookie + attributes)
- sending a cookie
+ validate the cookie domain against the request URL
+ validate the cookie path against the request URL
+ validate the cookie expiration
+ if valid then send only the cookie, no attribtues
* Modifies how a request URL is stored during a XMLRPC
request/response sequence.
* Refactors a bit of the request/response logic to allow for making
the decision whether to send a session cookie instead of full
Kerberous auth easier.
* The server now includes expiration information in the session cookie
it sends to the client. The server always had the information
available to prevent using an expired session cookie. Now that
expiration timestamp is returned to the client as well and now the
client will not send an expired session cookie back to the server.
* Adds a new module and unit test for cookies (see below)
Formerly we were always returning the session cookie no matter what
the domain or path was in the URL. We were also sending the cookie
attributes which are for the client only (used to determine if to
return a cookie). The attributes are not meant to be sent to the
server and the previous behavior was a protocol violation. We also
were not checking the cookie expiration.
Cookie library issues:
We need a library to create, parse, manipulate and format cookies both
in a client context and a server context. Core Python has two cookie
libraries, Cookie.py and cookielib.py. Why did we add a new cookie
module instead of using either of these two core Python libaries?
Cookie.py is designed for server side generation but can be used to
parse cookies on the client. It's the library we were using in the
server. However when I tried to use it in the client I discovered it
has some serious bugs. There are 7 defined cookie elements, it fails
to correctly parse 3 of the 7 elements which makes it unusable because
we depend on those elements. Since Cookie.py was designed for server
side cookie processing it's not hard to understand how fails to
correctly parse a cookie because that's a client side need. (Cookie.py
also has an awkward baroque API and is missing some useful
functionality we would have to build on top of it).
cookielib.py is designed for client side. It's fully featured and obeys
all the RFC's. It would be great to use however it's tightly coupled
with another core library, urllib2.py. The http request and response
objects must be urllib2 objects. But we don't use urllib2, rather we use
httplib because xmlrpclib uses httplib. I don't see a reason why a
cookie library should be so tightly coupled to a protocol library, but
it is and that means we can't use it (I tried to just pick some isolated
entrypoints for our use but I kept hitting interaction/dependency problems).
I decided to solve the cookie library problems by writing a minimal
cookie library that does what we need and no more than that. It is a
new module in ipapython shared by both client and server and comes
with a new unit test. The module has plenty of documentation, no need
to repeat it here.
Request URL issues:
We also had problems in rpc.py whereby information from the request
which is needed when we process the response is not available. Most
important was the requesting URL. It turns out that the way the class
and object relationships are structured it's impossible to get this
information. Someone else must have run into the same issue because
there was a routine called reconstruct_url() which attempted to
recreate the request URL from other available
information. Unfortunately reconstruct_url() was not callable from
inside the response handler. So I decided to store the information in
the thread context and when the request is received extract it from
the thread context. It's perhaps not an ideal solution but we do
similar things elsewhere so at least it's consistent. I removed the
reconstruct_url() function because the exact information is now in the
context and trying to apply heuristics to recreate the url is probably
not robust.

OpenSSH server included in Fedora 18 raises a validation error when
the tested AuthorizedKeysCommand/PubKeyAgent option is tested with
an empty value. It requires a command with an absolute path to be
passed. Due to this issue, sshd support is never configured on
Fedora 18.
Pass the real agent we will use later to the testing command to
avoid this error.
Fedora 16 introduced chrony as default client time&date synchronization
service:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChronyDefaultNTP
Thus, there may be people already using chrony as their time and date
synchronization service before installing IPA.
However, installing IPA server or client on such machine may lead to
unexpected behavior, as the IPA installer would configure ntpd and leave
the machine with both ntpd and chronyd enabled. However, since the OS
does not allow both chronyd and ntpd to be running concurrently and chronyd
has the precedence, ntpd would not be run on that system at all.
Make sure, that user is warned when trying to install IPA on such
system and is given a possibility to either not to let IPA configure
ntpd at all or to let the installer stop and disable chronyd.

Recent versions of authconfig do not restart sssd if only the
--enablesssd and --enablesssdauth options are used. To make sure sssd is
running after ipa-server-install is run this patch add an unconditional
restart of sssd after authconfig is run during the installation.
Since there already is some logic trying to determine if sssd needs to
be restarted or stopped if freeipa in uninstalled no changes are needed
here.

Connection error message in ipa-client-install now warns the user
about the need of opening of all the necessary ports for ipa-client
enrollment when error that might have been caused by closed ports
is encountered. Mentions the ports needed after the client
enrollment as well.
Improves other error messages during installation in various ways.

This patch addresses two issues:
1. If a client is previously enrolled in an IPA server and the server
gets re-installed then the client machine may still have a keyring
entry for the old server. This can cause a redirect from the
session URI to the negotiate one. As a rule, always clear the keyring
when enrolling a new client.
2. We save the NSS dbdir in the connection so that when creating a new
session we can determine if we need to re-initialize NSS or not. Most
of the time we do not. The dbdir was not always being preserved between
connections which could cause an NSS_Shutdown() to happen which would
fail because of existing usage. This preserves the dbdir information when
a new connection is created as part of the session mechanism.
