QA:Testcase nfs connectathon secure

Description

This test case is to validates a secure NFSv4 root setup by running the connectathon test suite.

How to test

1. This test requires at least 3 systems in the same domain. The first one is a Key Distribution Server (KDC) server, the second one is a NFS server, and the third one is a NFS client.

First, configure the KDC server.

1. Install the krb5-libs, krb5-server, and krb5-workstation if have not done so.

   yum -y install krb5-libs krb5-server krb5-workstation

2. Edit the /etc/krb5.conf and /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf configuration files to reflect the realm name and domain-to-realm mappings. For example, for domain .redhat.com.

   [logging]

   default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log

   kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log

   admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

   [libdefaults]

   default_realm = REDHAT.COM

   dns_lookup_realm = false

   dns_lookup_kdc = false

   ticket_lifetime = 24h

   renew_lifetime = 7d

   forwardable = yes

   [realms]

   REDHAT.COM = {

   kdc = <KDC server hostname>:88

   admin_server = <KDC server hostname>:749

   }

   [domain_realm]

   .redhat.com = REDHAT.COM

   redhat.com = REDHAT.COM

3. Create the database using the kdb5_util utility from a shell prompt:

   /usr/kerberos/sbin/kdb5_util create -s

4. Configure the KDC server to sync time using NTP to sync the clock for later kerberos communications.

   service ntpd restart

5. Edit the /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl file to have only this line.

   */admin *

6. Type the following kadmin.local command at the KDC terminal to create the first principal:

   /usr/kerberos/sbin/kadmin.local -q "addprinc root/admin"

7. Modify the firewall rule to allow kerberos communications, or disable the firewall temporarily.

   iptables -F

   ip6tables -F

8. Start Kerberos using the following commands:

   /sbin/service krb5kdc start

   /sbin/service kadmin start

Next, configure the NFS client.

1. If you have not already done so, install krb5-libs first.

   yum -y install krb5-libs

2. Configure the NFS client to sync time using NTP to sync the clock for later kerberos communications.

   service ntpd restart

3. Backup the original krb5.conf, and use the same krb5.conf as the as above.
4. Now, use kadmin to create the server principal.

   kadmin

   kadmin: addprinc -randkey nfs/<NFS client hostname>

   kadmin: ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal -k /tmp/keytab nfs/<NFS client hostname>

   kadmin: quit

   cp /etc/krb5.keytab /etc/krb5.keytab.orig

   cp /tmp/keytab /etc/krb5.keytab

5. Start rpcsvcgssd service.

   service rpcsvcgssd restart

   If the above failed, and you sense something like this in /var/log/messages.

#: ERROR: GSS-API: error in gss_acquire_cred(): Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information - Key table entry not found #: unable to obtain root (machine) credentials #: do you have a keytab entry for nfs/<your.host>@<YOUR.REALM> in /etc/krb5.keytab?

1. It is likely due to incorrect reserve DNS lookup to a loopback address. Look at /etc/hosts, if it has something like this,

#: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 <NFS client FQDN> #: ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 <NFS client FQDN>

1. Remove the above <NFS client FQDN> from the line, and restart the daemon again.

Then, configure the NFS server to find the KDC server.

1. If you have not already done so, install krb5-libs first.

   yum -y install krb5-libs

2. Configure the NFS server to sync time using NTP to sync the clock for later kerberos communications.

   service ntpd restart

3. Backup the original krb5.conf, and use the same krb5.conf as the as above.
4. Now, use kadmin to create the server principal.

   kadmin

   kadmin: addprinc -randkey nfs/<NFS server hostname>

   kadmin: ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal -k /tmp/keytab nfs/<NFS server hostname>

   kadmin: quit

   cp /etc/krb5.keytab /etc/krb5.keytab.orig

   cp /tmp/keytab /etc/krb5.keytab

5. Next, create an NFS export and restart NFS daemon.

   cp /etc/exports /etc/exports.orig

   echo '/nfs *(sec=sys:krb5:krb5i:krb5p,rw)' >/etc/exports

   mkdir /nfs

   service nfs restart

6. Create test tree structure on the server.

   git clone git://fedorapeople.org/~steved/cthon04

   cd cthon04

   ./runcthon --mkdirs /nfs

Finally, start the test from the client.

1. Download the connectathon testsuite from client.

   git clone git://fedorapeople.org/~steved/cthon04

2. Run the connectathon testsuite from the client.

   cd cthon04

   make

   ./runcthon --mkdirs /mnt/

   ./runcthon --server <NFS server IP> --serverdir /nfs

Expected Results

1. Step #1 completes without error.
2. The testsuite finishes without error; no nfs*.error files in /tmp.
