[Freeipa-users] how can i create home directories automatically on solaris while IPA user login

[sipazzo]

This is how use the automounter to automatically create home directories for ipa users under /export/home/ and mount them under /home/ on Solaris 10, as well as copy over the profile files and assign appropriate owner and group:
We first created a service account called "auth" in ipa to allow ldap lookups with no password expiration

On the clients create a "mkhomedir" script in /usr/local/adm (or where ever you like):#!/bin/ksh -p

HOMEDIRPATH=/home

PHYSICALDIRPATH=/export/home

hdir=~$1

phdir="$PHYSICALDIRPATH/$1"

if [ -d "$phdir" ]; then
        echo "localhost:$phdir"
        exit
fi

mkdir -p $phdir

#Perform ldap lookup to get user and group of logged in user 
GID=`ldapsearch -h idmserver.example.com -D "uid=auth,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,d
c=com" -w 'authpassword' -b "cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com" "(uid=$1)"
 | grep gid | cut -d " " -f2`

#Copy profile filescp /etc/skel/.bash_profile $phdir/.bash_profile
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc $phdir/.bashrc
cp /etc/skel/.profile $phdir/.profile
cp /etc/skel/.vimrc $phdir/.vimrc

#Change the owner and group to logged in user
chown -R "$1":"$GID" $phdir

echo "localhost:$phdir"

You need to change permissions on the "mkhomedir" script to 755


Login to client directly as root so you can move home directories around (edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config if needed to allow this)

Ensure no one else is logged in
Ensure nothing else is mounted in /export/homeCopy home directories to /export/home 
rsync -av /home/ /export/home/
Add this line to the /etc/auto_master file so the "mkhomedir" script runs at login
/home           /usr/local/adm/mkhomedir
Remove original /home/ directories
rm -rf /home/*
Restart autofs so the change takes effect
svcadm restart autofs
Make sure you change your sshd_config back if you don't wish to allow root ssh access.

Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] how can i create home directories automatically on solaris while IPA user login  from BZ  "While we value your interest in IPA Solaris support, the implementation of the DUA profile is not on our nearest schedule at the moment. We lack both knowledge and resources to focus on integration with Solaris. This is where we need a help (ideally patches) and contribution from the community to help us push these features in.I checked your example DUAConfigProfile and I think it cannot be just added to FreeIPA right away. E.g. for defaultServerList or preferredServerList, you would need to expand installers and ipa-replica-manage to handle these lists and update them when replica is added or updated to prevent it being outdated. printers or aliases serviceSearchDescriptor refers to objects not being available and so on. It is not as straightforward as it seems.  What I think that we can work on is to work together onhttp://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/FreeIPA_Guide/Configuring_an_IPA_Client_on_Solaris.html#Configuring_an_IPA_Client_on_Solaris_10... and add all the steps needed to make IPA work on Solaris 10. I could for example prepare an updated page and you could review it. Would that work for you?"  this what i followed util now. but's not authenticate with AD, IPA user can login on solaris box      On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 9:11 PM, Dmitri Pal <dpal at redhat.com> wrote:On 03/11/2015 01:56 PM, Ben .T.George wrote:
HI   yea , i saw that mail thread and he claims that he achieved somehow. but not clear.  and the  steps mentioned is too technical for me. :) as i am very new to IPA it's bit confusing.   later that thread also closed without proper explanation.   i think you guys can contact him to change existing wiki :) as there are many solaris related documents which is pretty old.  anyway still waiting for rply

Have you found the BZ? They are very detailed.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815515
The DUA profile is attached to the bug.

HI    thanks for the rply.  even i tried native auto_master file with directory checking script. if i feed the user manually to the script, the directory is creating and while login request comes, it didn't.  i don't think no one did full solaris integration util now as i asked many questions related to that.  now i am little bit confident up to this level. and if everything is working fine, i will try to create automated script for IPA join

I really do not know Solaris that well. There are some threads from this and last week about Solaris. You can find them in the mail archive for March.
There are pointers to wikis and bugzillas in those threads. The bugzilla bugs have some extended info on how to configure Solaris clients. They were pretty detailed. May be they have the automount info you are looking for.

HI   i can able to reach upto level that IPA user can able to login on solaris box,  but how can i create home directories automatically on solaris while IPA user login.  even i change the shell in IPA web interface that is getting affected. i saw some option in IPA 3.3 web interface like automount and that is not in IPA 4.1.2 

All the options are still there. The menus got re-arranged a bit.
Hopefully someone with a Solaris knowledge will help you with the rest.


  please anyone tell me where it is and how can i achieve this  regards,Ben
