Support for forms based authentication was added to UI. It consist of: 1) new login page Page url is [ipa server]/ipa/ui/login.html Page contains a login form. For authentication it sends ajax request at [ipa server]/session/json/login_password. If authentication is successfull page is redirected to [ipa server]/ipa/ui if it fails from whatever reason a message is shown. 2) new enhanced error dialog - authorization_dialog. This dialog is displayed when user is not authorized to perform action - usually when ticket and session expires. It is a standard error dialog which shows kerberos ticket related error message and newly offers (as a link) to use form based authentication. If user click on the link, the dialog content and buttons switch to login dialog which has same functionality as 'new login page'. User is able to return back to the error message by clicking on a back button. login.html uses same css styles as migration page -> ipa-migration.css was merged into ipa.css. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2450
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
