Operation Mincemeat Characters as IT People

I am painfully aware of how small the overlap is on the Venn diagram of Broadway Nerds and IT Nerds, so I'm not sure who else is going to get these jokes, hey, but it's my Tumblr, and I do what I want. :)

Charles Cholmondeley: That Linux Guy. You know, THAT one. Arch Linux Do or Die. Doesn't understand why people would use Microsoft Active Directory when OpenLDAP is so intuitive and logical.

Hester Leggatt: That one COBOL programmer who supplicants approach on bended knee when that one Too-Big-To-Fail-Or-Be-Taken-Offline application that the entire modern world has relied on since the late 1980s needs updating.

Jean Leslie: She is that most valuable of all creatures: a fast, efficient and effective coder who documents well and is a good team player. Has a massive fanbase on Stack Overflow thanks to her astonishingly useful submissions.

Johnny Bevan: Team manager, with no changes, really. Honestly, that is kind of what managing a team of IT people looks like, only with fewer dead bodies. (Most of the time.)

Ewen Montagu: Marketing Director. Took a bath when NFTs crashed, is now hyping AI.

Containerization is great, and VyOS is good enough for a firewalling platform but I prefer to use stuff that isn’t Debian based :3 a lot of my stuff runs Arch or Arch-based distros like Manjaro depending on how lazy I feel. With Debian-based distros your best bet is going to be to set up OpenLDAPS and a Kerberos realm, and there are a ton of handy guides for it! Samba SMBD would also be used to host any file sharing. I can go more in depth if I need to but that should be a good starting point :3 OpenLDAPS would run on your controller, Kerberos would join, and Pam/SSSD would handle access

Her, busy working: “These scripts aren’t working, I wish my boss would just let me make Ansible playbooks for pre deployment tasks…”

Me, flustered when she talks about Linux: “you could choke me with any body part you wanted to. like you’re allowed to do that”

ChatGPT - 6 - how to use LDAP

Using LDAP involves the following steps:

Set up an LDAP server: This can be done using open-source software like OpenLDAP or commercial products like Microsoft Active Directory.

Define the directory structure: Decide on the organization of the information in the directory and create a schema that defines the object classes, attributes, and relationships between them.

Populate the directory: Add entries to the directory that represent the information to be stored, such as user accounts, group information, and device information.

Configure access controls: Define the permissions that govern who can access the information in the directory and what they can do with it.

Integrate with applications: Connect applications to the directory to allow them to authenticate users, authorize access to resources, and retrieve information stored in the directory.

Administer the directory: Regularly maintain and update the information in the directory, monitor its performance, and ensure its security.

The exact steps to use LDAP will depend on the specific use case and the tools and software being used. There are many tutorials and resources available online to help with implementing LDAP in specific environments.

So you just finished setting up oVirt / RHEV Virtualization platform and would like to integrate it with FreeIPA LDAP for user authentication?. Before interacting with oVirt Virtualization management system, user accounts must be configured and granted access rights. The user accounts can be local or from an LDAP store. These account sources are called user domains. Each user account has a form username@domain, this is referred to as User Principal Name (UPN). During installation process, a local domain called internal is created, which can contain local user accounts in the Virtualization platform. An initial local user with full administrative control over oVirt Virtualization environment is created in the internal domain. This user has the UPN admin@internal. Additional Local user accounts and groups can be created as discussed in the guide below: Create and Manage User Accounts on oVirt and RHEV In a corporate environment, there is a need to configure external domain that gets user information from an external directory service such as OpenLDAP, FreeIPA, Microsoft Active Directory, and any other supported options. With external domain configured, the hassle of managing local user database is eliminated. You’ll only focus with privileges and permissions management for directory users. From the administration standpoint, users and groups are created in a directory service (FreeIPA in our case). Once FreeIPA is attached to oVirt / RHEV as an external domain, users from FreeIPA directory service must be configured with roles that grants appropriate level of access on the Virtualization environment. You can grant some directory users administrative rights then use e admin@internal as an emergency administrative account in case of issues connecting to directory service. In one of our guides, we discussed on attaching Windows Active Directory to oVirt/RHEV. The article is accessible on below link: Use Active Directory for RHEV / oVirt User Authentication Note it’s also possible to attach more than one directory server to oVirt / RHEV. If more than one directory server is attached, then as administrator you can choose which one to authenticate against by selecting the correct domain at the login window. Attach FreeIPA domain server to oVirt / RHEV The requirements for this setup are: Administrative access to working FreeIPA Server (deployed and configured) Administrative access to oVirt / RHEV Portal Access to oVirt Engine / RHEV Manager Command Line interface We have few guides that can help with FreeIPA server if you don’t have one already: How To Install FreeIPA Server on CentOS 7 Install and Configure FreeIPA Server on CentOS 8 / RHEL 8 Install and Configure FreeIPA Server on Rocky Linux 8 On the side of oVirt Manager setup, refer to guides below: How To Install Standalone oVirt Engine on CentOS Install and Configure oVirt on CentOS Step 1 – Create a user for oVirt/RHEV on FreeIPA FreeIPA is a free to use and open source centralized identity, policy, and authorization service. It provides an LDAP integration interface Red Hat Enterprise Linux based systems. FreeIPA is an upstream project to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Identity Manager. In this setup, FreeIPA is used as an authentication source for your Red Hat Virtualization environment. Login to FreeIPA Server and go to Identity > Active users > Add Create a user that will be used on oVirt/RHEV manager. Update user password expiry time For a new user created in FreeIPA, a password reset is required on first login. Since we’ll use this user as service account, let’s change expiration date to later date like 2030. Get kerberos ticket for admin user. [rocky@ipa ~]$ kinit admin Password for admin@IPA.EXAMPLE.COM: [rocky@ipa ~]$ klist Ticket cache: KCM:1000 Default principal: admin@IPA.EXAMPLE.COM Valid starting Expires Service principal 01/22/22 01:47:03 01/23/22 01:46:56 krbtgt/IPA.EXAMPLE.COM@IPA.EXAMPLE.COM

Set user expiry date to 31/12/2030 [rocky@ipa ~]$ ipa user-mod ovirtadmin --setattr=krbPasswordExpiration=20301231011529Z -------------------------- Modified user "ovirtadmin" -------------------------- User login: ovirtadmin First name: oVirt Last name: Admin Home directory: /home/ovirtadmin Login shell: /bin/sh Principal name: ovirtadmin@IPA.EXAMPLE.COM Principal alias: ovirtadmin@IPA.EXAMPLE.COM User password expiration: 20301231011529Z Email address: ovirtadmin@ipa.example.com UID: 1827000003 GID: 1827000003 Account disabled: False Password: True Member of groups: ipausers Kerberos keys available: True Test login on FreeIPA web portal as ovirtadmin user created. Confirm expiry date for the password. Step 3 – Create test user on FreeIPA Server We need additional user account that will be used to validate successful FreeIPA attachment on RHEV/oVirt Manager server. Step 3 – Install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap on oVirt/RHEV Manager The ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap is a software package created to provide integration support for LDAP directory services with oVirt/RHEV Manager. Login to your RHEV Manager / oVirt Engine instance and install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap package. sudo yum install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap This package we just installed contains the oVirt Engine LDAP Users Management Extension to manage users stored in LDAP server. $ which ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup /usr/bin/ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup The script above is used to configure LDAP integration with oVirt/RHEV Manager. In the next discussion we shall explore how this configuration is accomplished. Step 4 – Attach FreeIPA identity service to oVirt/RHEV Manager Before we begin the configuration, the following information is required: The fully qualified DNS domain name of the FreeIPA server (Should be resolvable from RHEV Manager machine) For a secure communication, the public TLS/SSL CA certificate that validates the LDAP server’s TLS certificate, in PEM format is also required FreeIPA directory server administrator password Obtain base distinguished name (DN) of FreeIPA server A FreeIPA user account configured used to perform search and login queries The details used in this example are: FreeIPA Server FQDN: ipa.example.com FreeIPA public TLS/SSL CA certificate: http://ipa.example.com/ipa/config/ca.crt Search user DN: uid=ovirtadmin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com Profile name visible to users: FreeIPA With all the prerequisites met, we run the ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup to interactively configure RHEV Manager server to use FreeIPA as external domain for user information.

Jan 22 02:42:14 ovirt-manager.example.com systemd[1]: Started oVirt Engine. Step 5 – Assign FreeIPA Users/Groups Permissions on RHEV/oVirt By default, new users created in FreeIPA are not authorized to access RHEV/oVirt environment. You need to grant permission to these user accounts before they can perform actions in the environment. Users in the virtualization environment have permissions that allow them to perform actions on objects such as data centers, clusters, hosts, networks, or virtual machines. A role is a set of permissions permitting access to objects at various levels. Access ovirt/RHEV Administration portal on https:///ovirt-engine and navigate to Administration > System Permissions > Add Assign FreeIPA User permissions Select “User” for Permission type, “FreeIPA” on Search Drop-down list, then input FreeIPA user to set permission for. Hit the Go button when done and select user found in the search list. Select the Role to set for user under “Role to Assign” section. With all information set, save the changes by pressing “OK“. Assign FreeIPA Group permissions The same process is used to assign permissions to a group. Only that this time you choose Group type. Create a group on FreeIPA web portal – In this example it’s called ovirtadmins Add users to the group A user called computingpost has been added in the scenario shared in screenshot below. Use Add button after user selection and move to the right section. On oVirt/RHEV Manager, navigate to Administration > System Permissions > Add. Choose “Group” and “FreeIPA” under Search. You then input group name in search box and Go. Tick on the selected group to modify. Assign a role to the group. Here we assigned the group “SuperUser” role. Click “OK” to assign the group a role. Visit oVirt documentation on roles to understand all types available and descriptive permissions in the role. Assigning Resource-specific Roles to Users You can also assign user a role that only applies to a subset of resources, example is role specific to Data Center, Cluster, Networks e.t.c. Data Center resource role: Cluster resource role: Network resource role: Step 6 – Test access to oVirt/RHEV Portal using FreeIPA user On RHEV Administration Portal, select “FreeIPA” profile we attached earlier. Provide username and password to login with. Make sure this user has role assigned on RHEV/oVirt or is part of a group with a role that has correct access permissions. You should now gain access to oVirt / RHEV Portal. If you encounter authorization error like below, it simply means a role with relevant permissions was not configured for the user or group with the user attached. In this article we’ve been able to integrate FreeIPA to oVirt/RHEV Virtualization platform.

We also created user/group on FreeIPA and assigned roles, then tested login access on the portal. If this guide was of help to you, let us know through the comments section below. Feel free to check out more guides on RHEV/oVirt Virtualization platform in the links shared here.
