Re: [Freeipa-users] OTP vs VPN
We've found it easier to integrate a 2FA solution into OpenVPN and local login separately. If you go with a solution that works with PAM, setting it up with OpenVPN Access Server (the commercial product) and local login (FreeIPA-backed) is pretty straightforward. The only thing it won't protect is the FreeIPA web UI, but if you put that behind a VPN or IP whitelist it should be less of an issue.

The VPN would allow users of that group to auth, using userid and password+OTP to successfully. I've been reading through docs on the freeipa and red hat sites, e.g., https://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/OTP/Detail and http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/OTP#Enabling_OTP_and_RADIUS, to determine if or how that might be doable. From what I read, an alternate approach from FreeIPA's built-in OTP might be to set up a stand-alone OTP solution and use radius and/or a PAM module to handle the VPN auth. I've DL'd the source, but there's so much there it'll take me some time to figure out what's happening. Any pointers on what approach I should take or where to find some notes and examples on how this might be accomplished would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Freeipa-users] Common Name for the ipa-cacert-manage command
With respect, neither option is realistic in the common case. Unless I'm mistaken, a CA-less installation will break in ~1 year when host certificates expire and are not automatically renewed via certmonger. Option 2 (sub-CA) is, as far as I can tell, also not feasible since no public CA will sell subordinate CA certificates commercially. At least not that I can find. In our case, the only option is to resign ourselves to using self-signed certificates for the UI. End users can import IPA CA root cert if they choose.

So basically changing the CA to a trusted CA that will not bring scare the users with Site security cannot be verified, return to safety. The problem with the CN is that when it is read from the CSR the CN=Certificate Authority. Which is not an acceptable CN according to the tool we use for generating certs, The tool we use expects a CN of something along the lines of example.com. That sounds odd. The CN of a CA doesn't represent a machine or a specific domain, it represents itself. Granted Certificate Authority isn't all that unique a name either, but it's what we defaulted to, IIRC based on the dogtag defaults. Changing it might have other odd side-effects too as it's hardcoded in a few other places. I'm not exactly sure what would break, if anything. It sounds like your tool is issuing a server cert, not a CA cert. A server cert traditionally has used cn=FQDN,rest of subject. That doesn't really apply to a CA. So it's changeable if you hack some installer code, but there be dragons. rob Thanks, Bill On 4/21/15 2:55 PM, Rob Crittenden wrote: William Graboyes wrote: Hi List, I am having yet another issue, when I run the following command: ipa-cacert-manage renew --external-ca It does output the CSR, however the CN is not a valid name (Certificate Authority).

What I am trying to do is change from the internal self signed certs to an external CA signing system. What isn't valid about the name? This would make the IPA CA a subordinate of the external CA.

Re: [Freeipa-users] IPA Web UI behind proxy
Hi Fraser, I actually attempted that procedure ( https://www.freeipa.org/page/Using_3rd_part_certificates_for_HTTP/LDAP) but it completely broke my IPA install. I could no longer log in with any users including admin, enrollment/client auth broke, etc. Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to roll back to the self-signed CA cert so I ended up having to do a full re-provision and reinstall. Needless to say, I'm a bit reticent to try that again.
