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!

    In fact, I had friends in university from Greece, but, yeah, languages, dialects and accents are a hobby.

    No, just a Moderator, not an Administrator.

    Saving authentication server definitions before testing is another one of those tricks that isn't documented.  I hadn't noticed that the SSL option was added, but all of my clients use internal servers or connect to them via encrypted tunnels (RED/IPsec/SSL VPN).  You might try creating a new server definition instead of changing from 389 to SSL 636 in an existing definition - did that work?

    See #6 in Rulz for guidance on when users should be synced from the authentication server to the UTM.  Configuring HTTP/S proxy access with AD SSO also applies to LDAP in most places.  I think Douglas has a thread somewhere that delves more deeply into LDAP.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi Bob,

    then I guess we have the same hobby...

     

    So, I created a "sophos" group and a "sophosuser" in freeipa.



    This user authenticates successfully under /authentication services/server/user authentication test

     

     

    But when I try to log in to the firewall WebAdmin with this user I can't log in.

    I have the feeling that I am missing something big here, so big that I can't see it :)



    This is how ldap group in the firewall looks like:



    Should I create another group in the firewall? If yes, then how would that look like? The already existing "local" users would they be double then?

    Thanx

    So...

     

    In the ldap group Attributes I inserted the following:
    cn=sophos,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=mydomain,dc=com

    Note that "sophos" is the group created in the freeipa server.

    Then In the firewall under management/Webadmin settings I chose the LDAP users to be able to login.



    And it worked!
