Use a Class of Service template to do per-group password policy. The
design calls for non-overlapping groups but with cospriority we can
still make sense of things.
The password policy entries stored under the REALM are keyed only on
the group name because the MIT ldap plugin can't handle quotes in the
DN. It also can't handle spaces between elements in the DN.
- The aci plugin didn't quite work with the new ldap2 backend.
- We already walk through the target part of the ACI syntax so skip that
in the regex altogether. This now lets us handle all current ACIs in IPA
(some used to be ignored/skipped)
- Add support for user groups so one can do v1-style delegation (group A
can write attributes x,y,z in group B). It is actually quite a lot more
flexible than that but you get the idea)
- Improve error messages in the aci library
- Add a bit of documentation to the aci plugin
This will create a host service principal and may create a host entry (for
admins). A keytab will be generated, by default in /etc/krb5.keytab
If no kerberos credentails are available then enrollment over LDAPS is used
if a password is provided.
This change requires that openldap be used as our C LDAP client. It is much
easier to do SSL using openldap than mozldap (no certdb required). Otherwise
we'd have to write a slew of extra code to create a temporary cert database,
import the CA cert, ...
External CA signing is a 2-step process. You first have to run the IPA
installer which will generate a CSR. You pass this CSR to your external
CA and get back a cert. You then pass this cert and the CA cert and
re-run the installer. The CSR is always written to /root/ipa.csr.
A run would look like:
# ipa-server-install --ca --external-ca -p password -a password -r EXAMPLE.COM -u dirsrv -n example.com --hostname=ipa.example.com -U
[ sign cert request ]
# ipa-server-install --ca --external-ca -p password -a password --external_cert_file=/tmp/rob.crt --external_ca_file=/tmp/cacert.crt -U -p password -a password -r EXAMPLE.COM -u dirsrv -n example.com --hostname=ipa.example.com
This also abstracts out the RA backend plugin so the self-signed CA we
create can be used in a running server. This means that the cert plugin
can request certs (and nothing else). This should let us do online replica
creation.
To handle the self-signed CA the simple ca_serialno file now contains
additional data so we don't have overlapping serial numbers in replicas.
This isn't used yet. Currently the cert plugin will not work on self-signed
replicas.
One very important change for self-signed CAs is that the CA is no longer
held in the DS database. It is now in the Apache database.
Lots of general fixes were also made in ipaserver.install.certs including:
- better handling when multiple CA certificates are in a single file
- A temporary directory for request certs is not always created when the
class is instantiated (you have to call setup_cert_request())
Also, member attributes are now mapped to 'member user', 'member group',
etc. instead of 'member users', 'member groups'. In other words,
the second word is now taken from LDAPObject.object_name instead of
LDAPObject.object_name_plural.
- remove obsolete code related to PluginProxy
- remove parent_key attribute, for the purpose of nested objects
the parent's primary key is retrieved automatically
- added support for auto-generating of UUIDs
- make use of the improved attribute printing in CLI
- make LDAPDelete delete all sub-entries, not just one-level
- minor bug fixes
ipaObject is defined as an auxiliary objectclass so it is up to the
plugin author to ensure that the objectclass is included an a UUID generated.
ipaUniqueId is a MUST attribute so if you include the objectclass you must
ensure that the uuid is generated.
This also fixes up some unrelated unit test failures.
- attribute re-mapping, ordering and hiding
(Enables plugins to completely hide LDAP internals from users
and full localisation of command output.)
- translation of member DNs into object names
(No more DNs when listing group members etc.)
- support for "singleton" LDAP objects
(Objects like "pwpolicy"; not accessed by primary key.)
- new base classes for commands: LDAPModMember, LDAPAddMember
and LDAPRemoveMember
(Providing support for objects with 'member'-like attributes.)
- LDAPSearch implicit exit code changed to 1 when nothing is found
There are some operations, like those for the certificate system, that
don't need to write to the directory server. So instead we have an entry
that we test against to determine whether the operation is allowed or not.
This is done by attempting a write on the entry. If it would succeed then
permission is granted. If not then denied. The write we attempt is actually
invalid so the write itself will fail but the attempt will fail first if
access is not permitted, so we can distinguish between the two without
polluting the entry.
