PKI has its own internal knowledge of servers and services in its securitydomain. This has not been cleaned up in the past but is becoming more of an issue as PKI now relies on its securitydomain for more things, and it has a healthcheck that reports inconsistencies. Removing entries is straightforward using the PKI REST API. In order to operate on the API access is needed. There was an unused Security Domain Administrators group that I've added to the resourceACLS we created for managing the securitydomain. The ipara user is added as a member of this group. The REST API binds to the CA using the IPA RA certificate. Related commits areb3c2197b7eandba4df6449a. These resourceACLS were originally created as a backwards compatibility mechanism for dogtag v9 and later only created when a replica was installed purportedly to save a restart. I don't see any reason to not have these defined. They are apparently needed due to the PKI database upgrade issues. In any case if the purpose was to suppress these ACLS it failed because as soon as a replica with a CA was installed they were as well, and we need this ACL in order to manage the securitydomain. https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/8930 Signed-off-by: Rob Crittenden <rcritten@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Florence Blanc-Renaud <flo@redhat.com>
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
