FreeIPA

This forumla installs and configured the FreeIPA Identity Management service and client.

Sample pillars

Client

freeipa:
  client:
    enabled: true
    server: ipa.example.com
    domain: {{ salt['grains.get']('domain', '') }}
    realm: {{ salt['grains.get']('domain', '').upper() }}
    hostname: {{ salt['grains.get']('fqdn', '') }}

To automatically register the client with FreeIPA, you will first need to create a Kerberos principal. Start by creating a service account in FreeIPA. You may wish to restrict that users permissions to only host creation (see https://www.freeipa.org/page/HowTos#Working_with_FreeIPA). Next, you will need to obtain a kerberos ticket as admin on the IPA server, then generate a service account principal.

kinit admin

ipa-getkeytab -p service-account@EXAMPLE.com -k ./principal.keytab -s freeipahost.example.com

scp ./principal.keytab user@saltmaster.example.com:/srv/salt/freeipa/files/principal.keytab

Then add to your pillar:

freeipa:
  client:
    enabled: true
    server: ipa.example.com
    domain: {{ salt['grains.get']('domain', '') }}
    realm: {{ salt['grains.get']('domain', '').upper() }}
    hostname: {{ salt['grains.get']('fqdn', '') }}
    install_principal:
      source: salt://freeipa/files/principal.keytab
      mode: 0600
      principal_user: "service-account"
      file_user: "root"
      file_group: "root"

This will allow your client to use FreeIPA's JSON interface to create a host entry with a One Time Password and then register to the FreeIPA server. For security purposes, the kerberos principal will only be pushed down to the client if the installer reports it is not registered to the FreeIPA server and will be removed from the client as soon as the endpoint has registered with the FreeIPA server.

Additionally, the openssh formula (see https://github.com/salt-formulas/salt-formula-openssh) is needed and is a dependency for this formula. Configure it thusly:

openssh:
  server:
    public_key_auth: true
    gssapi_auth: true
    kerberos_auth: false
    authorized_keys_command:
      command: /usr/bin/sss_ssh_authorizedkeys
      user: nobody

If you wish to update DNS records using nsupdate, add:

freeipa:
  client:
    nsupdate:
      - name: test.example.com
        ipv4:
          - 8.8.8.8
        ipv6:
          - 2a00:1450:4001:80a::1009
        ttl: 1800
        keytab: /etc/krb5.keytab

For requesting certificates using certmonger:

freeipa:
  client:
    cert:
      "HTTP/www.example.com":
        user: root
        group: www-data
        mode: 640
        cert: /etc/ssl/certs/http-www.example.com.crt
        key: /etc/ssl/private/http-www.example.com.key

Server

freeipa:
  server:
    realm: IPA.EXAMPLE.COM
    domain: ipa.example.com
    ldap:
      password: secretpassword

Server definition for new verion of freeipa (4.3+). Replicas dont require generation of gpg file on master. But principal user has to be defined with

freeipa:
  server:
    realm: IPA.EXAMPLE.COM
    domain: ipa.example.com
    principal_user: admin
    admin:
      password: secretpassword
    servers:
    - idm01.ipa.example.com
    - idm02.ipa.example.com
    - idm03.ipa.example.com

Disable CA. Default is True.

freeipa:
  server:
    ca: false

Disable LDAP access logs but enable audit

freeipa:
  server:
    ldap:
      logging:
        access: false
        audit: true
