Currently the NSS database in /etc/httpd/alias is installed with the system trust module enabled. This is problematic for a number of reasons: * IPA has its own trust store, which is effectively bypassed when the system trust module is enabled in the database. This may cause IPA unrelated CAs to be trusted by httpd, or even IPA related CAs not to be trusted by httpd. * On client install, the IPA trust configuration is copied to the system trust store for third parties. When this configuration is removed, it may cause loss of trust information in /etc/httpd/alias (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1427897). * When a CA certificate provided by the user in CA-less install conflicts with a CA certificate in the system trust store, the latter may be used by httpd, leading to broken https (https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2016-July/msg00360.html). Disable the system trust module on install and upgrade to prevent the system trust store to be used in /etc/httpd/alias and fix all of the above issues. https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6132 Reviewed-By: Stanislav Laznicka <slaznick@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Christian Heimes <cheimes@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 managment 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
