[Freeipa-users] IPA client installation for Solaris 11.

Proxy user is only necessary if you disable anonymous bind on the IPA LDAP.

Example configuration for making Solaris 11 work as an IPA client. 
If you want autofs of shared NFS home directory too, let me know and i can provide it.
I will add this and more to IPA Wiki when i can find the time to go through it properly and polish away some rough edges.
I hope it can provide some help.

Solaris 11.1 IPA lient configuration.

First make sure that the Solaris 11 machine are using the proper DNS and NTP servers.

On the IPA server or Client run:

ipa host-add --force --ip-address=192.168.0.1 solaris.example.com

ipa-getkeytab -s ipaserver.example.com -p host/solaris.example.com -k /tmp/solaris.keytab

Move the keytab to the Solaris machine /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab

Make sure it have the proper owner and permissions:

chown root:sys /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab
chmod 700 /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab

Edit /etc/nsswitch.ldap, replace "ldap" with "dns" from the "hosts" and "ipnodes" lines:

hosts:          files dns 
ipnodes:	files dns

Edit /etc/krb5/krb5.conf:

[libdefaults]
        default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM
        verify_ap_req_nofail = false
[realms]
        EXAMPLE.COM = {
                kdc = ipaserver.example.com
                admin_server = ipaserver.example.com
        }

[domain_realm]
        example.com = EXAMPLE.COM
        .example.com = EXAMPLE.COM


Run the ldapclient with the default DUAProfile.
The "-a domainName= example.com" is needed so that ldapclient does not stop and complain about missing nisdomain name.

ldapclient -v init -a profilename=default -a domainName=example.com ipaserver.example.com

In Solaris 11.1 the pam configuration have changed but for simplicity i still use the /etc/pam.conf:

login   auth requisite          pam_authtok_get.so.1
login   auth required           pam_dhkeys.so.1
login	auth required		pam_unix_cred.so.1
login   auth sufficient         pam_krb5.so.1 
login   auth required           pam_unix_auth.so.1
login   auth required           pam_dial_auth.so.1

other   auth requisite          pam_authtok_get.so.1
other   auth required           pam_dhkeys.so.1
other   auth required           pam_unix_cred.so.1
other   auth sufficient         pam_krb5.so.1
other   auth required           pam_unix_auth.so.1

other   account requisite       pam_roles.so.1
other   account required        pam_unix_account.so.1
other   account required        pam_krb5.so.1

other   password requisite      pam_authtok_check.so.1 force_check
other   password sufficient     pam_krb5.so.1
other   password required       pam_authtok_store.so.1

There are a number of different profile levels available, see
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1455/ldapsecure-66.html#ldapsecure-74

proxy is usually a shared account that the Solaris box uses to
authenticate to the LDAP server.

I didn't experiment using a proxy password inside a profile. I'll bet
that if you manually enroll a client then you can dig out the password
on that local system and store that in the profile.

There is also a self level which uses Kerberos. I've never used it
myself (it may be newer than my experience with Solaris) but there are
some fairly detailed docs on it at
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1455/clientsetup-49.html#gdzpl
