Many attributes in IPA (e.g. manager, memberuser, managedby, ...) are used to store DNs of linked objects in IPA (users, hosts, sudo commands, etc.). However, when the linked objects is deleted or renamed, the attribute pointing to it stays with the objects and thus may create a dangling link causing issues in client software reading the data. Directory Server has a plugin to enforce referential integrity (RI) by checking DEL and MODRDN operations and updating affected links. It was already used for manager and secretary attributes and should be expanded for the missing attributes to avoid dangling links. As a prerequisite, all attributes checked for RI must have pres and eq indexes to avoid performance issues. Thus, the following indexes are added: * manager (pres index only) * secretary (pres index only) * memberHost * memberUser * sourcehost * memberservice * managedby * memberallowcmd * memberdenycmd * ipasudorunas * ipasudorunasgroup Referential Integrity plugin is updated to enforce RI for all these attributes. Unit tests covering RI checks for all these attributes were added as well. Note: this update will only fix RI on one master as RI plugin does not check replicated operations. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2866
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.
