oVirt Engine Extension AAA LDAP

Copr build status

Welcome to the oVirt Engine AAA LDAP Extension source repository. This repository is hosted on GitHub:ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap

This repository contains extension to use LDAP servers to authenticate users to oVirt Engine.

##QUICK START

USING INSTALLER

Install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup and execute:

 # ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup

The setup will guide you throughout the process of most common use cases.

USING CONFIGURATION FILES

Examples are available at the following directory:

/usr/share/ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap*/examples

Content is relative to /etc/ovirt-engine directory.

  1. Per your setup, copy recursive examples/ad/. (Active Directory) or examples/simple/. to /etc/ovirt-engine, optionally modify the profile1 within the file names and profile1 within the content to a value that suites your environment.

  2. Customize the vars.* variables within files to meet your setup.

  3. Test drive your configuration

    oVirt 3.6/4.x

    Test drive can be done as standalone process.

    a. Test login:

    Execute:

    # ovirt-engine-extensions-tool aaa login-user \
         --profile=@PROFILE@ --user-name=@USER@
    

    Replace:

    • @PROFILE@ with authn ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.profile.name.
    • @USER@ with user you want to test.

    Inspect output for initialization errors.

    Inspect PrincipalRecord and GroupRecord within the output and verify it matches expectations.

    b. Test search:

    Search by executing:

    # ovirt-engine-extensions-tool aaa search --extension-name=@AUTHZ@ \
         --entity=@ENTITY@ --entity-name=@NAME@
    

    Optionally add the following to enable group resolution: --authz-flag=resolve-groups --authz-flag=resolve-groups-recursive

    Replace:

    • @AUTHZ@ with authz extension name.
    • @ENTITY@ with either 'principal' or 'group'.
    • @NAME@ with requested name to search.

    Inspect output for initialization errors.

    Inspect PrincipalRecord and GroupRecord within the output and verify it matches expectations.

    c. Restart ovirt-engine, verify no startup errors.

    oVirt 3.5

    a. Restart ovirt-engine, verify no startup errors.

    b. Within ovirt-engine try to search for users, add a user and assign SuperUser system roles.

    c. Try to login using the newly added user.

  4. Complete customization of profile, such as enabling startTLS.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

Implementation uses UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. Many of the terms and configuration options derived from the SDK terms. More information can be found at UnboundID site[1].

Refer to README.unboundid-ldapsdk for known issues and limitations.

EXTENSION CONFIGURATION

AUTHZ

Configure authorization extension.

/etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/@AUTHZ_NAME@.properties

ovirt.engine.extension.name = @AUTHZ_NAME@
ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.ldap
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.ldap.AuthzExtension
ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Authz
config.profile.file.1 = @PROFILE_CONFIGURATION@

@AUTHZ_NAME@
    Extension instance name.
@PROFILE@
    Profile name, visible to user.
@PROFILE_CONFIGURATION@
    Profile configuration file, may be relative to extension configuration.

AUTHN

Configure authentication extension.

/etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/@AUTHN_NAME@.properties

ovirt.engine.extension.name = @AUTHN_NAME@
ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.ldap
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.ldap.AuthnExtension
ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Authn
ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.profile.name = @PROFILE@
ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.authz.plugin = @AUTHZ_NAME@
config.profile.file.1 = @PROFILE_CONFIGURATION@

@AUTHN_NAME@
    Extension instance name.
@AUTHZ_NAME@
    Authz extension instance name.
@PROFILE@
    Profile name, visible to user.
@PROFILE_CONFIGURATION@
    Profile configuration file, may be relative to extension configuration.

REMOVING CONFIGURED PROFILE

Following steps describe how to remove a configured LDAP profile (profile name 'profile1' is assumed in commands, please adapt to profile name that should be removed):

  1. Remove profile configuration files

    rm /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/profile1-authn.properties
    rm /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/profile1-authz.properties
    rm /etc/ovirt-engine/aaa/profile1.properties
    
  2. Restart ovirt-engine

    systemctl restart ovirt-engine
    

Note: The above steps will remove profile configuration, so users from this profile will no longer be able to login into engine. But those users still have permissions defined in engine, so if you want to remove those permissions you need to do following:

1. Login into webadmin and switch to Users tab
2. Remove all users from the provider you have removed above (they should
   have their Authorization provider set to 'profile1-authz'

PROFILE CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES

OPENLDAP/389DS/IPA/...

Using simple bind transport using startTLS:

    # select one
    include = <openldap.properties>
    #include = <389ds.properties>
    #include = <rhds.properties>
    #include = <ipa.properties>
    #include = <iplanet.properties>
    #include = <rfc2307-generic.properties>
    #include = <rfc2307-389ds.properties>
    #include = <rfc2307-rhds.properties>
    #include = <rfc2307-openldap.properties>
    #include = <rfc2307-edir.properties>

    vars.server = ldap1.company.com
    vars.user = uid=search,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=company,dc=com
    vars.password = 123456

    pool.default.serverset.single.server = ${global:vars.server}
    pool.default.auth.simple.bindDN = ${global:vars.user}
    pool.default.auth.simple.password = ${global:vars.password}
    pool.default.ssl.startTLS = true
    pool.default.ssl.truststore.file = ${local:_basedir}/${global:vars.server}.jks
    pool.default.ssl.truststore.password = changeit

Round robin configuration:

    pool.default.serverset.type = round-robin
    pool.default.serverset.round-robin.1.server = ${global:vars.server1}
    pool.default.serverset.round-robin.2.server = ${global:vars.server2}

In case sasl mechanism is used, such as gssapi, set the following within extension configuration:

   # Except of active directory
   config.globals.bindFormat.simple_bindFormat = realm

More supported configuration at README.profile.

ACTIVE DIRECTORY

Active Directory 2003 R2 and above is supported.

Using simple bind transport using startTLS. Unfortunately, SASL does not provide bind failure reasons.

User name is the userPrincipalName field of the user, the suffix is usually the domain name.

Connect to Domain Controller DNS Server directly, use SRV record to resolve hosts.

    include = <ad.properties>

    vars.forest = company.com
    vars.user = search@${global:vars.forest}
    vars.password = 123456
    vars.dns = dns://dc1.${global:vars.forest} dns://dc2.${global:vars.forest}

    pool.default.serverset.type = srvrecord
    pool.default.serverset.srvrecord.domain = ${global:vars.forest}
    pool.default.auth.simple.bindDN = ${global:vars.user}
    pool.default.auth.simple.password = ${global:vars.password}
    pool.default.serverset.srvrecord.jndi-properties.java.naming.provider.url = ${global:vars.dns}
    pool.default.socketfactory.resolver.uRL = ${global:vars.dns}
    pool.default.ssl.startTLS = true
    pool.default.ssl.truststore.file = ${local:_basedir}/${global:vars.forest}.jks
    pool.default.ssl.truststore.password = changeit

More supported configuration at README.profile.

Single Sign-On for Virtual Machines

If you are going to use Single Sign-On for Virtual Machines, your authz name has to match your real domain name.

If you are going to use ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup, you will be asked to support Single Sign-On for Virtual Machines or not. So generated configuration files will be created upon answer to that question.

If you are going to create your configuration files manually, please beware that by default authz name is specified with '-authz' suffix in all examples, so please make sure to correct it in your final configuration file.

Once rhbz#1133137 is resolved, this behaviour would not be longer needed.

X.509 CERTIFICATE TRUST STORE

When using TLS/SSL to communicate with LDAP server an X.509 certificate trust store should be provided if the certificate of the LDAP server is not signed by well known certification authority.

The trust store can be anything Java supports, by default it is JKS (Java Key Store) format.

Use the following command to create a JKS myrootca.jks trust store using password 'changeit' and import the certificate myrootca.pem into alias myrootca:

 $ keytool -importcert -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias myrootca \
       -file myrootca.pem -keystore myrootca.jks -storepass changeit

The root certificate should be obtained from the LDAP server, exact method is vendor specific.

OpenLDAP

  • Open /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
  • Seek TLSCACertificateFile or TLSCACertificatePath.
  • Locate certificate file.

FreeIPA

  • /etc/ipa/ca.crt

Active Directory

  • Windows: > certutil -ca.cert myrootca.der
  • Linux: $ openssl -in myrootca.der -inform DER -out myrootca.pem

Most LDAP servers will provide root certificate within TLS/SSL negotiation.

  • Use the following sequence to extract:

    $ openssl s_client -connect @HOST@:636 -showcerts < /dev/null

    Copy/paste the last certificate into myrootca.pem Copy/paste the first certificate into end.pem

Check if it is a root certificate:

$ openssl verify -CAfile myrootca.pem end.pem

APACHE SSO CONFIGURATION

Authorization extension can be used in an environment in which apache preforms the authentication, common example is kerberos. Use the ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc and configure the http authentication extension to acquire principal name out of the request.

APACHE CONFIGURATION

The following example enforces kerberos authentication, and delegate principal name via HTTP headers. The actual kerberos configuration is out of scope for this document.

oVirt 3.x

# mod_auth_kerb module has to be enabled and loaded
<LocationMatch ^(/ovirt-engine/(webadmin|userportal|api)|/api)>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} ^(.*)$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,NS,P,E=REMOTE_USER:%1]
    RequestHeader set X-Remote-User %{REMOTE_USER}s

    AuthType Kerberos
    AuthName "Kerberos Login"

    # Modify to match installation
    Krb5Keytab /etc/krb5.keytab

    # Modify to match installation
    KrbAuthRealms REALM.COM

    KrbMethodK5Password off
    Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

oVirt 4.x

# mod_auth_gssapi and mod_session modules have to be enabled and loaded
<LocationMatch ^/ovirt-engine/sso/(interactive-login-negotiate|oauth/token-http-auth)|^/ovirt-engine/api>
  <If "req('Authorization') !~ /^(Bearer|Basic)/i">
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} ^(.*)$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,NS,P,E=REMOTE_USER:%1]
    RequestHeader set X-Remote-User %{REMOTE_USER}s

    AuthType GSSAPI
    AuthName "Kerberos Login"

    GssapiCredStore keytab:/etc/httpd/http.keytab
    GssapiUseSessions On
    Session On
    SessionCookieName ovirt_gssapi_session path=/private;httponly;secure;

    Require valid-user
    ErrorDocument 401 "<html><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; url=/ovirt-engine/sso/login-unauthorized\"/><body><a href=\"/ovirt-engine/sso/login-unauthorized\">Here</a></body></html>"
  </If>
</LocationMatch>

WARNING!!!

In case SSO is enforced on partial URI list (example only api), The X-Remote-User must be reseted for the remaining URIs, to avoid security bypass.

AUTHN EXTENSION

The following configuration read the X-Remote-User header and sets it as principal name.

/etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/http-authn.properties

ovirt.engine.extension.name = http-authn
ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.misc
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.misc.http.AuthnExtension
ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Authn
ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.profile.name = http
ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.authz.plugin = ldap-authz
ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.mapping.plugin = http-mapping
config.artifact.name = HEADER
config.artifact.arg = X-Remote-User

MAPPING

/etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/http-mapping.properties

ovirt.engine.extension.enabled = true
ovirt.engine.extension.name = http-mapping
ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.misc
ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engine.extension.aaa.misc.mapping.MappingExtension
ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Mapping
config.mapAuthRecord.type = regex
config.mapAuthRecord.regex.mustMatch = true
config.mapAuthRecord.regex.pattern = ^(?<user>.*?)((\\\\(?<at>@)(?<suffix>.*?)@.*)|(?<realm>@.*))$

# START-PLATFORM-DEPENDED
# Active directory:
config.mapAuthRecord.regex.replacement = ${user}${at}${suffix}${realm}
# Other
config.mapAuthRecord.regex.replacement = ${user}${at}${suffix}
# END-PLATFORM-DEPENDED
