NAME¶

ipa-adtrust-install - Prepare an IPA server to be able to establish trust relationships with AD domains

SYNOPSIS¶

ipa-adtrust-install [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION¶

Adds all necessary objects and configuration to allow an IPA server to create a trust to an Active Directory domain. This requires that the IPA server is already installed and configured.

Please note you will not be able to establish a trust to an Active Directory domain unless the realm name of the IPA server matches its domain name.

ipa-adtrust-install can be run multiple times to reinstall deleted objects or broken configuration files. E.g. a fresh samba configuration (smb.conf) file and registry based configuration can be created. Other items like e.g. the configuration of the local range cannot be changed by running ipa-adtrust-install a second time because with changes here other objects might be affected as well.

OPTIONS¶

-d, --debug

Enable debug logging when more verbose output is needed.

--netbios-name=NETBIOS_NAME

The NetBIOS name for the IPA domain. If not provided then this is determined based on the leading component of the DNS domain name. Running ipa-adtrust-install for a second time with a different NetBIOS name will change the name. Please note that changing the NetBIOS name might break existing trust relationships to other domains.

--add-sids

Add SIDs to existing users and groups as one of the final steps of the ipa-adtrust-install run. If there a many existing users and groups and a couple of replicas in the environment this operation might lead to a high replication traffic and a performance degradation of all IPA servers in the environment. To avoid this the SID generation can be run after ipa-adtrust-install is run and scheduled independently. To start this task you have to load an edited version of ipa-sidgen-task-run.ldif with the ldapmodify command info the directory server.

--add-agents

Add IPA masters to the list that allows to serve information about users from trusted forests. Starting with IPA 4.2, a regular IPA master can provide this information to SSSD clients. IPA masters aren't added to the list automatically as restart of the LDAP service on each of them is required. The host where ipa-adtrust-install is being run is added automatically.

Note that IPA masters where ipa-adtrust-install wasn't run, can serve information about users from trusted forests only if they are enabled via ipa-adtrust-install run on any other IPA master. At least SSSD version 1.13 on IPA master is required to be able to perform as a trust agent.

-U, --unattended

An unattended installation that will never prompt for user input.

--rid-base=RID_BASE

First RID value of the local domain. The first POSIX ID of the local domain will be assigned to this RID, the second to RID+1 etc. See the online help of the idrange CLI for details.

--secondary-rid-base=SECONDARY_RID_BASE

Start value of the secondary RID range, which is only used in the case a user and a group share numerically the same POSIX ID. See the online help of the idrange CLI for details.

-A, --admin-name=ADMIN_NAME

The name of the user with administrative privileges for this IPA server. Defaults to 'admin'.

-a, --admin-password=password

The password of the user with administrative privileges for this IPA server. Will be asked interactively if -U is not specified.

The credentials of the admin user will be used to obtain Kerberos ticket before configuring cross-realm trusts support and afterwards, to ensure that the ticket contains MS-PAC information required to actually add a trust with Active Directory domain via 'ipa trust-add --type=ad' command.

--enable-compat

Enables support for trusted domains users for old clients through Schema Compatibility plugin. SSSD supports trusted domains natively starting with version 1.9. For platforms that lack SSSD or run older SSSD version one needs to use this option. When enabled, slapi-nis package needs to be installed and schema-compat-plugin will be configured to provide lookup of users and groups from trusted domains via SSSD on IPA server. These users and groups will be available under cn=users,cn=compat,$SUFFIX and cn=groups,cn=compat,$SUFFIX trees. SSSD will normalize names of users and groups to lower case.

In addition to providing these users and groups through the compat tree, this option enables authentication over LDAP for trusted domain users with DN under compat tree, i.e. using bind DN uid=administrator@ad.domain,cn=users,cn=compat,$SUFFIX.

LDAP authentication performed by the compat tree is done via PAM 'system-auth' service. This service exists by default on Linux systems and is provided by pam package as /etc/pam.d/system-auth. If your IPA install does not have default HBAC rule 'allow_all' enabled, then make sure to define in IPA special service called 'system-auth' and create an HBAC rule to allow access to anyone to this rule on IPA masters.

As 'system-auth' PAM service is not used directly by any other application, it is safe to use it for trusted domain users via compatibility path.

EXIT STATUS¶

0 if the installation was successful

1 if an error occurred
