When we define a group mapping for BUILTIN\Guests to 'nobody' group in
we run 'net groupmap add ...' with a default /etc/samba/smb.conf which
is now configured to use ipasam passdb module. We authenticate to LDAP
with GSSAPI in ipasam passdb module initialization.
If GSSAPI authentication failed (KDC is offline, for example, during
server upgrade), 'net groupmap add' crashes after ~10 attempts to
re-authenticate. This is intended behavior in smbd/winbindd as they
cannot work anymore. However, for the command line tools there are
plenty of operations where passdb module is not needed.
Additionally, GSSAPI authentication uses the default ccache in the
environment and a key from /etc/samba/samba.keytab keytab. This means
that if you'd run 'net *' as root, it will replace whatever Kerberos
tickets you have with a TGT for cifs/`hostname` and a service ticket to
ldap/`hostname` of IPA master.
Apply a simple solution to avoid using /etc/samba/smb.conf when we
set up the group mapping by specifying '-s /dev/null' in 'net groupmap'
call.
For upgrade code this is enough as in
a678336b8b we enforce use of empty
credentials cache during upgrade to prevent tripping on individual
ccaches from KEYRING: or KCM: cache collections.

FreeIPA Server
FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity, authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems by providing simple to install and use command line and web based management tools.
FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation of installation and configuration tasks.
FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.
Benefits
FreeIPA:
- Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials and security settings
- Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in an authenticated and secure way
- Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services and files only to specific users
- Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords, SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules
- Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users
- Integrates into Active Directory environments
Components
The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management tools for the following components:
- LDAP Server - based on the 389 project
- KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
- PKI based on Dogtag project
- Samba libraries for Active Directory integration
- DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
