Chapter 90. Enabling authentication using AD User Principal Names in IdM 90.1. User principal names in an AD forest trusted by IdM As an Identity Management (IdM) administrator, you can allow AD users to use alternative User Principal Names (UPNs) to access resources in the IdM domain. A UPN is an alternative user login that AD users authenticate with in the format of user_name@KERBEROS-REALM . As an AD administrator, you can set alternative values for both user_name and KERBEROS-REALM , since you can configure both additional Kerberos aliases and UPN suffixes in an AD forest. For example, if a company uses the Kerberos realm AD.EXAMPLE.COM , the default UPN for a user is user@ad.example.com . To allow your users to log in using their email addresses, for example user@ example.com , you can configure EXAMPLE.COM as an alternative UPN in AD. Alternative UPNs (also known as enterprise UPNs ) are especially convenient if your company has recently experienced a merge and you want to provide your users with a unified logon namespace. UPN suffixes are only visible for IdM when defined in the AD forest root. As an AD administrator, you can define UPNs with the Active Directory Domain and Trust utility or the PowerShell command line tool. Note To configure UPN suffixes for users, Red Hat recommends to use tools that perform error validation, such as the Active Directory Domain and Trust utility. Red Hat recommends against configuring UPNs through low-level modifications, such as using ldapmodify commands to set the userPrincipalName attribute for users, because Active Directory does not validate those operations. After you define a new UPN on the AD side, run the ipa trust-fetch-domains command on an IdM server to retrieve the updated UPNs. See Ensuring that AD UPNs are up-to-date in IdM . IdM stores the UPN suffixes for a domain in the multi-value attribute ipaNTAdditionalSuffixes of the subtree cn=trusted_domain_name,cn=ad,cn=trusts,dc=idm,dc=example,dc=com .

Ensuring that AD UPNs are up-to-date in IdM After you add or remove a User Principal Name (UPN) suffix in a trusted Active Directory (AD) forest, refresh the information for the trusted forest on an IdM server. Prerequisites IdM administrator credentials. Procedure Enter the ipa trust-fetch-domains command. Note that a seemingly empty output is expected: Verification Enter the ipa trust-show command to verify that the server has fetched the new UPN. Specify the name of the AD realm when prompted: The output shows that the example.com UPN suffix is now part of the ad.example.com realm entry. 90.3. Gathering troubleshooting data for AD UPN authentication issues Follow this procedure to gather troubleshooting data about the User Principal Name (UPN) configuration from your Active Directory (AD) environment and your IdM environment. If your AD users are unable to log in using alternate UPNs, you can use this information to narrow your troubleshooting efforts. Prerequisites You must be logged in to an IdM Trust Controller or Trust Agent to retrieve information from an AD domain controller. You need root permissions to modify the following configuration files, and to restart IdM services. Procedure Open the /usr/share/ipa/smb.conf.empty configuration file in a text editor. Add the following contents to the file. Save and close the /usr/share/ipa/smb.conf.empty file. Open the /etc/ipa/server.conf configuration file in a text editor. If you do not have that file, create one. Add the following contents to the file. Save and close the /etc/ipa/server.conf file. Restart the Apache webserver service to apply the configuration changes: Retrieve trust information from your AD domain: Review the debugging output and troubleshooting information in the following log files: /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/samba/log.* Additional resources Using rpcclient to gather troubleshooting data for AD UPN authentication issues (Red Hat Knowledgebase)
