IPA implements read/write permissions for DNS record or zones. Provided set of permissions and privileges can, however, only grant access to the whole DNS tree, which may not be appropriate. Administrators may miss more fine-grained permissions allowing them to delegate access per-zone. Create a new IPA auxiliary objectclass ipaDNSZone allowing a managedBy attribute for a DNS zone. This attribute will hold a group DN (in this case a permission) which allows its members to read or write in a zone. Member permissions in given zone will only have 2 limitations: 1) Members cannot delete the zone 2) Members cannot edit managedBy attribute Current DNS deny ACI used to enforce read access is removed so that DNS privileges are based on allow ACIs only, which is much more flexible approach as deny ACIs have always precedence and limit other extensions. Per-zone access is allowed in 3 generic ACIs placed in cn=dns,$SUFFIX so that no special ACIs has to be added to DNS zones itselves. 2 new commands have been added which allows an administrator to create the system permission allowing the per-zone access and fill a zone's managedBy attribute: * dnszone-add-permission: Add per-zone permission * dnszone-remove-permission: Remove per-zone permission https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2511
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.
