Kerberos

Please check your easydb contract, whether you have licensed “authentication”.

Installation

Install modules needed for the apache2 to use kerberos as sso service:

apt install libapache2-mod-auth-kerb krb5-user

SSO activation in easydb5

A list of all available variables for the sso configuration, can be found at: SSO

As programmfabrik we recommend any one, to split their configuration into different files. During this task, we will create a kerberos.yml located at /srv/easydb/config/easydb-server.d/. Since no groups are sent via. kerberos, the groups must be fetched from the ldap. As valid configuration for the kerberos sso service, you can take a look at the following example:

plugins:
  enabled+:
    - base.sso

sso:
  environment:
    mapping:
      m_login:
        attr: REMOTE_USER
        regex_match: '@.*$'
        regex_replace: ''
    user:
      login: "%(m_login)s"
  auth_method:
    client:
      login:
        visible: true
        show_errors: true

ldap:
  - user:
      protocol: ldap
      server: ldap.example.com
      basedn: dc=example,dc=com
      filter: '(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%(Login)s))'
    group:
      protocol: ldap
      server: ldap.example.com
      basedn: dc=example,dc=com
      filter: '(&(|(member=%(user.distinguishedName)s)(gidNumber=%(user.primaryGroupID)s))(objectClass=group))'
    environment:
      user:
        login: '%(user.sAMAccountName)s'
        displayname: '%(user.displayName)s'
      groups:
        - attr: group.cn

Apache2 configuration

The following configuration assumes that you have configured https.

Add following lines to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/easydb.conf below <VirtualHost *:443>

Before ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=X_REMOTE_USER:%{LA-F:REMOTE_USER}]
RequestHeader set X-Remote-User "%{X_REMOTE_USER}e"

After ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse:

<Location /api/v1/session/sso/authenticate>
		AuthType Kerberos
		AuthName "Kerberos login"
		KrbServiceName HTTP/kerberos.easydb.example.com
		KrbAuthRealms EXAMPLE.COM
		Krb5Keytab /etc/apache2/krb5.keytab
		KrbMethodNegotiate off
		KrbVerifyKDC off
		KrbMethodK5Passwd on
		Require valid-user
</Location>
