When establishing trust to Active Directory forest, RC4 is used to encrypt trusted domain object credentials as an application-specific material in a secure channel based on AES session key. In FIPS mode it is not possible to use RC4 directly. Samba 4.14 and backports to 4.13 in Fedora 33+ and RHEL 8.4+ now provide a helper that wraps LSA RPC call CreateTrustedDomainEx2. This helper ensures that in FIPS mode we first check that LSA session key is AES before allowing RC4 use internally in Samba bindings. Thus, it becomes possible to establish trust to Active Directory forest in FIPS mode. Adopt FreeIPA code to use the helper provided by Samba when it is available. If neither the helper nor unprotected arcfour_encrypt utility is available from Samba bindings, fail import of the ipaserver.dcerpc module.

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
