LDAP groups with FreeIPA

doncornelius
Hi,
I've been able to connect my UTM 9.3 to FreeIPA 3.3.x for basic user/password authentication to the web portal and ssl client vpn.  However, I've been unable to get the UTM to use the user groups on FreeIPA to determine a user's access to an object.  I suspect the problem has to do with FreeIPA using nested groups.  I'm wondering if anyone has solved this, perhaps even using a version of Active Directory or other backend?  Thanks for any tips!

    Create User Groups on the UTM, then add your backend authentication user accounts to those.

    You can create groups attached to the FreeIPA the trick is to get the right attributes:

    It should go like this:

    Group type: Backend Membership

    check an LDAP Attribute

    Attribute: memberOf
    Value: cn=usergroup,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=domain,dc=local

    Hi,

    first of all shouldn't this be documented by Sophos? How can one predict the ldap Attribute and Value?

    Anyway,

    I did what you suggested but still not getting it done.

    Where Values, I suppose I leave it like that, not replacing with my credentials, right?

     

     

     

     

     

    Is there something I can check on my freeipa server? Syslog not showing anything when I click on "test" on Sophos.

    I think is time for Sophos to make a Document about how to connect Freeipa to Sophos hence there is already for AD and openldap is rubbish.

    Thank you.

    Never heard of your product.  Does it have market share among  potential paying customers for UTM?

    Read my LDAP post in the WiKi.  To make LDAP work, you have to know your available attributes, your directory structure, and LDAP syntax.  The first comes from your LDAP vendor, the second from you, the third from the standards bidies or the web.  You need to use your problem as your learning opoortunity.

    Do you mean that you read everything in this post, and yet found nothing that provided insight to your LDAP implementation?

    I mean that you didn't provide any post, you just asked me if "my product" has "market share among potential paying customers for UTM".

    There ARE critical holes in the documentation, which I and others have tried to address as we have learned the product.   Everyone needs to read most everything in the wiki, to deploy the product securely, because of what is not in the manual. Additional resources are pinned to the top of most forum sections.   So keep reading

    But at the dane time, show gratitude that home users have access to such a powerful priduct for free.

    Geiasou and welcome to the UTM Community!

    You must [Save] a server definition first, and then you can [Test] it.  I recommend that you use a unique user for the 'Bind DN' so that changing the admin password doesn't create issues for the UTM configuration.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi Bob,

    I see you 've done some research (Geiasou) ;)
    Are you administrating this site?

    Well I would appreciate some exact directions and screenshots, for me and for the future generations :p

    F.i.: Server Definition you mean: Definitions and users/network definitions/new network definition.

    Choose: type: host
                 DNS settings-->Hostname: sub.example.com

                  save

    Then go to network definitions/authentication services/servers/new authentication server

    Choose the network definition you created before and fill in the Bind DN like this "uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=your_domain,dc=com"


    Then it should work:





    In my case I was previously trying to get it to work installing freeipa-server on Ubuntu 18 and this was a no go... I installed it on Fedora and it seems to be working.


    However test does not work with 636 port and SSL activated. But I 'm happy for the moment and will dig deeper.

    I 've no Idea how to set up users and groups in Sophos for LDAP but I just wanted to answer this one and will keep trying.

    Cheers.
