IPA plugin for Hybrid Cloud Console

The ipa-hcc plugin provides schema extension of IPA for Hybrid Cloud Console integration. The plugin must be installed on all FreeIPA servers, preferable before the server/replica is installed.

If the plugin is installed later, then the local schema cache may be outdated and ipa command may not be aware of the new attributes. In that case the local schema cache can be refreshed by enforcing a schema check ipa -eforce_schema_check=True ping or by purging the cache with rm -rf ~/.cache/ipa.

Installation requires a server upgrade ipa-server-upgrade and restart of services ipactl restart. The post transaction hook of the RPM package takes care of both. A server upgrade can take a while and can disrupt normal operations on the machine. It is advised to serialize the operation and install the plugin on one server at a time.

Additional host attributes

  • HCCOrgId: string
  • HCCSubscriptionId: string
  • HCCInventoryId: string
  • HCCCertSubject: string (auto-generated)

Server config

  • HCCOrgId: string
  • HCCDomainId: string

Host groups

Host group hcc-enrollment is created on server upgrade. Hosts with a HCCSubscriptionId are automatically added to the host group by an automember rule.

certmap rule

A certmap rule rhsm-cert matches subject of RHSM certificates to host's ``HCCCertSubject` attribute.

service principal

Each IPA server has a hcc-enrollment/$FQDN service with role HCC Enrollment Administrators.

Indexes

  • Index on HCCSubscriptionId for presence and equality
  • Index on HCCInventoryId for presence and equality
  • Index on HCCCertSubject for presence and equality
  • Uniqueness of HCCCertSubject attributes

Command line extension

$ ipa host-mod --help
  ...
  --hccsubscriptionid=STR
  --hccinventoryid=STR
  ...
$ ipa host-show host.test.example
  ...
  organization id: 42
  subscription id: 1f84492f-a824-41b8-8ccd-a4e9e1ab2f3d
  inventory id: e98a6828-faf2-4917-8f0f-7af27fad3683
  RHSM certificate subject: O=42,CN=1f84492f-a824-41b8-8ccd-a4e9e1ab2f3d
  ...
$ ipa config-mod --help
  ...
  --hccorgid=STR  organization id
  --hccdomainid=STR  domain id

Internal IPA API extension

The hccjwk plugin adds internal APIs:

  • hccjwk_add
  • hccjwk_find
  • hccjwk_show
  • hccjwk_revoke
  • hccjwk_del

Schema / server updater

The update file 85-hcc.update for ipa-server-upgrade creates:

  • host group hcc-enrollment
  • automember rule for host group
  • certmap rule rhsm-cert
  • additional role and privileges
  • new indexes and unique constraint
  • runs update_hcc update plugin

The update_hcc update plugin:

  • modifies KRB5 KDC config file to trust the RHSM certificate chain and restarts the service if necessary.
  • checks HCCOrgId setting in IPA's global configuration. If the option is not set, then it sets the value based on the subject org name of server's RHSM certificate (/etc/pki/consumer/cert.pem).
  • set/update HCCSubscriptionId of the server's host entry based on the subject CN of the server's RHSM certificate.

The update file 86-hcc-enrollment-service.update runs the update_hcc_enrollment_service plugin, whoch

  • creates service account hcc-enrollment/$FQDN@$REALM
  • adds the service to the HCC Enrollment Administrators role
  • creates or validates the keytab for hcc-enrollment/$FQDN@$REALM service account

Server test setup

  1. Prepare host
$ hostnamectl set-hostname ipaserver.ipahcc.test
$ vi /etc/hosts
# add public IPv4 address to /etc/hosts
$ dnf install ipa-server ipa-server-dns
  1. Install an IPA server with DNS
$ ipa-server-install -n ipahcc.test -r IPAHCC.TEST -p DMSecret123 -a Secret123 \
     --setup-dns --auto-forwarders --no-dnssec-validation -U
  1. Configure trusted_network ACL in /etc/named/*.conf and systemctl restart named.service, e.g.
# /etc/named/ipa-ext.conf
acl "trusted_network" {
   localnets;
   localhost;
   10.0.0.0/8;
};

# /etc/named/ipa-options-ext.conf
allow-recursion { trusted_network; };
allow-query-cache { trusted_network; };
listen-on-v6 { any; };
dnssec-validation no;
  1. Add client hostname to DNS
$ kinit admin
$ ipa dnsrecord-add ipahcc.test ipaclient1 --a-rec=...
  1. Create a Red Hat API refresh token and save it in /etc/ipa/hcc/refresh_token.
cat > /etc/ipa/hcc/refresh_token
...
EOF
chown ipahcc:root /etc/ipa/hcc/refresh_token
chmod 640 /etc/ipa/hcc/refresh_token

WARNING the token has the same privileges as your user account.

  1. Install plugin and other services
dnf install 'dnf-command(copr)'
dnf copr enable @podengo/ipa-hcc
dnf install --refresh ipa-hcc-server

NOTE It is possible to install a server/replica with ipa-hcc-server package pre-installed. Both variants are supported and yield the same result. The token and /etc/ipa/hcc.conf must be set before the server is installed.

Client test setup

  1. Install packages

RHEL 8.8+ or RHEL 9.2+

dnf install 'dnf-command(copr)'
dnf copr enable @podengo/ipa-hcc
dnf install --refresh ipa-client ipa-hcc-client

  1. Configure DNS and hostname. The client must be able to discover its IPA domain and IPA servers with DNS SRV discovery.

  2. Enable the auto-enrollment service

systemctl enable ipa-hcc-auto-enrollment.service
  1. Register system with RHSM and Insights

RHEL >= 8:

rhc connect

RHEL 7:

subscription-manager register ...
insights-client --register
rhc connect

The ipa-hcc-auto-enrollment.service triggers after rhc starts the rhcd service. The enrollment service runs the script ipa-hcc-auto-enrollment.py, which uses DNS SRV discovery to locate IPA servers, connects to /hcc WSGI app to self-register the host and finally runs ipa-client-install.

Client test setup (step by step)

  1. Copy /var/lib/ipa-client/pki/kdc-ca-bundle.pem from server to client.

  2. Register system with RHSM and Insights

rhc connect

Older RHEL versions may require manual registration with insights

insights-client --register
  1. Self-register host with IdM
curl \
  --cacert /root/kdc-ca-bundle.pem \
  --cert /etc/pki/consumer/cert.pem \
  --key /etc/pki/consumer/key.pem \
  https://ipaserver.hmsidm.test/hcc
  1. Enroll host with IdM
ipa-client-install \
  --pkinit-identity=FILE:/etc/pki/consumer/cert.pem,/etc/pki/consumer/key.pem \
  --pkinit-anchor=FILE:/root/kdc-ca-bundle.pem \
  --server ipaserver.hmsidm.test --domain hmsidm.test -U -N

Notes

  • IPA's KDC plugin caches certmap rules for 5 minutes. For rapid testing restart the KDC with systemctl restart krb5kdc.service. See ipa_kdc_certauth.c: DEFAULT_CERTMAP_LIFETIME.
  • ipa certmap-match is only implemented for users. It cannot be used to test cert mappings for hosts.

Workarounds

IdM does not implement #9272 "Install CA certificates only for PKINIT or TLS client auth", yet.

  • Apache HTTPd is configured to load extra CA certs for client cert authentication from CA path /usr/share/ipa-hcc/cacerts/.
  • Kerberos KDC loads extra PKINIT trust anchors from DIR:/usr/share/ipa-hcc/cacerts.

Known issues

Global authentication types affect host auth

IPA's KDC KDB plugin has a known issue related to global user auth configuration. If an admin sets a global policy for user auth types and does not include pkinit, then the KDC refuses cert authentication for hosts.

$ ipa config-mod --user-auth-type=password --user-auth-type=otp
$ ipa config-show
...
Default user authentication types: password, otp

ipa-client-install fails with:

kinit: KDC policy rejects request while getting initial credentials

and /var/log/krb5kdc.log contains:

PKINIT pre-authentication not allowed for this user.: host/host.ipa.example@IPA.EXAMPLE for krbtgt/IPA.EXAMPLE@IPA.EXAMPLE, KDC policy rejects request

Workaround: also enable pkinit:

ipa config-mod --user-auth-type=password --user-auth-type=otp --user-auth-type=pkinit
