Hi

We have kerberos working with bare metal kernel NFS exporting RBDs. I
can see in the ceph documentation[1] that nfs-ganesha should work with
kerberos but I'm having little luck getting it to work.


Could you clarify how you are deploying the ganesha instances?  I think you may be asking about cephadm deployed containers but it is not clear to me.

There are a couple of viable ways to deploy nfs-ganesha today: manually/"bare-
metal", cephadm, and rook.

Of course, my bad. Ceph version 17.2.6-100.el9cp, nfs-ganesha deployed with cephadm as pr the documentation I linked:

"
ceph nfs export create cephfs --cluster-id cephfs_noHA --pseudo-path /testkrb5p_noHA --fsname cephfs_ssd --path=/test --sectype krb5p --sectype sys
"

"
[ceph: root@lazy /]# ceph nfs export info cephfs_noHA /testkrb5p_noHA
{
   "export_id": 1,
   "path": "/test",
   "cluster_id": "cephfs_noHA",
   "pseudo": "/testkrb5p_noHA",
   "access_type": "RW",
   "squash": "none",
   "security_label": true,
   "protocols": [
     4
   ],
   "transports": [
     "TCP"
   ],
   "fsal": {
     "name": "CEPH",
     "user_id": "nfs.cephfs_noHA.1",
     "fs_name": "cephfs_ssd"
   },
   "clients": [],
   "sectype": [
     "krb5p",
     "sys"
   ]
}
"

Works with sys, not with krb5p.

Thanks.

This bit from the container log seems to suggest that some plumbing is
missing?

Thoughts?

Based on your mention of "container log" above I assume this is on either
cephadm or rook.  The rook team has been actively working on adding kerberized
nfs support and we added the `sectype` option for that work. Currently,
cephadm doesn't have support for kerberos because it lacks the server side
components needed to connect to krb5/ldap.

I would like to see this support eventually come to cephadm but it's not there
today IMO.

Missed this part first time around. Interesting.

A manual deployment of nfs-ganesha ought to also be able to make use of this option. Ultimately, this generates ganesha config blocks and is mostly agnostic
of the cluster/deployment method, but I have not tried it out myself.

The config block posted above seems fine though, or? So it wouldn't matter if deployed manually, the bits that are missing are how to get kerberos inside the container? The container host has all the bits.

Mvh.
