Description
Using POSIX attributes defined in AD in FreeIPA
Setup
- Setup an Active Directory server (2008 R2 or above).
- Install Services for Identity Management for UNIX Components: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731178.aspx
How to test
Planned configuration
Instructions below will assume following setup:
- There is Active Directory domain, set up under name AD.LAN. Domain controller for AD.LAN server is dc.ad.lan and has IP-address DC-AD.
- There is FreeIPA realm, set up under name IPA.LAN. FreeIPA server for the realm IPA.LAN is dc.ipa.lan and has IP-address DC-IPA.
FreeIPA realm will gain a short name used for NetBIOS communication, known as 'domain name' in SMB. Usually it is the same as leftmost component of the realm, i.e. IPA for IPA.LAN.
Configure FreeIPA server for trusts
If your
Adding a trust (letting FreeIPA detect the POSIX support)
First we need to check that there are no remnants of the previous trusts on the server.
# ipa idrange-find
--------------- 1 range matched --------------- Range name: DOM139.TBAD.IDM.LAB.ENG.BRQ.REDHAT.COM_id_range First Posix ID of the range: 278400000 Number of IDs in the range: 200000 First RID of the corresponding RID range: 1000 First RID of the secondary RID range: 100000000 Range type: local domain range ---------------------------- Number of entries returned 1 ----------------------------
# ipa trust-find
---------------- 0 trusts matched ---------------- ---------------------------- Number of entries returned 0 ----------------------------
Make sure that the time with the AD is synchronized.
# ntpdate advm.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
Add the trust. This can take a while as the FreeIPA is querying AD DC for UNIX information by default.
# ipa trust-add --type=ad $AD_DOMAIN --admin Administrator --password

Checking that user from AD has correct UID (as defined in AD)
# getent passwd testuser@TBAD.IDM.LAB.ENG.BRQ.REDHAT.COM
