Re: PostgreSQL (linux) configuration with GSSAPI to a Windows domain

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 

Hi Philippe,

I would increase logging level to debug since it is hard to tell from log what is happening.
Have you verified kinit for the user on the server? Sounds like you did since you are running client on the server
Also, my username in postgres database is lowercase without realm info.

At the high level, here's the setup I had:
  1. Create AD user account for PostgreSQL UNIX service.
  2. Set up identity mapping for Service Principal Name (SPN) to postgres user account.
    Note: Multiple service instances cannot map to the same user account, so user account may be created as postgres_shortHostName
  3. Generate keytab for postgres service principal.
  4. Ensure Kerberos configuration file has been created on PostgreSQL server after joining server to AD domain using SSSD and realmd utility.
  5. Configure PostgreSQL to use generated keytab file.
  6. Configure PostgreSQL host-base authentication to use GSSAPI.

My setup for PAM is using SSSD PAM module and is configured for AD:

cat /etc/pam.d/postgresql
#%PAM-1.0
auth            required        pam_sss.so
account         required        pam_sss.so

By joining domain using realm sssd you should have krb5.conf and sssd.conf generated for you automatically. You should remove existing krb5.conf before joining domain.


cat /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
[sssd]
domains = ad.corp.com
config_file_version = 2
services = nss, pam
 
[domain/ ad.corp.com]
ad_domain = ad.corp.com
krb5_realm = AD.CORP.COM
realmd_tags = manages-system joined-with-samba
cache_credentials = True
id_provider = ad
krb5_store_password_if_offline = True
default_shell = /bin/bash
ldap_id_mapping = True
use_fully_qualified_names = False
fallback_homedir = /home/%u
access_provider = ad

Hi Andre,
Thank for the followup. Here are the tests and results:

I've deleted and created service user postgres in lower case on the AD, and I've made this command.
ktpass -out postgres.keytab -princ postgres/UBUNTU.ad.corp.com@xxxxxxxxxxx -mapUser AD\postgres -pass 'postgres' -mapOp add -crypto ALL -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL

Changed pg_hba.conf to
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 gss gss include_realm=0 [http://krb_realm%3Dad.corp.com/]krb_realm=AD.CORP.COM

kinit is working

Here are the bad:

User ubuntupg is created on the AD. In postgresql, does it need to have a naming convention? At this moment, i've a user named ubuntupg and also ubuntupg@xxxxxxxxxxx

I don't know this kind of authentication, do you have more information on this? Maybe I can switch authentication method.

I think setting up PAM authentication with AD on Linux server joined to domain via realm SSSD was much easier and transparent.

Something like this worked for me to create SPN mapping and keytab in one command without need to use UPPERCASE for POSTGRES:
ktpass -out postgres.keytab -princ POSTGRES/UBUNTU.ad.corp.com@xxxxxxxxxxx -mapUser AD\POSTGRES -pass 'thepassword' -mapOp add -crypto ALL -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL

pg_hba.conf
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 gss gss include_realm=0 krb_realm=AD.CORP.COM
ktb_realm should not be needed since you have one in your krb5.conf

postgresql.conf
krb_server_keyfile = '/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/postgres.keytab'
#krb_caseins_users = off

psql.exe -h 192.168.1.143 -U ubuntupg

klist

Default principal: ubuntupg@xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm trying to configure authentication between PostgreSQL database server on linux and Windows Active Directory.

First part of configuration is working but when I'm trying to authenticate from Windows client, it is not working with message: Can't obtain database list from the server. SSPI continuation error. The specified target is unknown or unreachable (80090303)

On Windows:

Domain is AD.CORP.COM

Host is: WIN.AD.CORP.COM, IP is 192.168.1.173

On Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)

hostname is UBUNTU.ad.corp.com, IP is 192.168.1.143

DNS are configured to reach the AD sytem (.173)

PostgreSQL 9.6.9 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (Ubuntu 9.6.9-2.pgdg16.04+1), compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609, 64-bit

I've created à service user called POSTGRES and a normal user in AD called ubuntupg. 

Finally I've created the SPN:

setspn -A POSTGRES/UBUNTU.ad.corp.com POSTGRES

Generated the keytab to put on the linux server:

ktpass -out postgres.keytab -princ POSTGRES/UBUNTU.ad.corp.com@AD.CORP.COM -mapUser POSTGRES -pass 'thepassword' -crypto all -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL

On the linux /etc/krb5.conf:

[libdefaults]
  debug=true
  default_realm = AD.CORP.COM
  dns_lookup_realm = false
  dns_lookup_kdc = false
  ticket_lifetime = 24h
  renew_lifetime = 7d
  forwardable = true

[realms]
  AD.CORP.COM = {

    kdc = WIN.AD.CORP.COM
  }

[domain_realm]
  ad.corp.com = AD.CORP.COM

  .ad.corp.com = AD.CORP.COM

Making this command work and klist return a ticket:

kinit -V -k -t /etc/postgresql/9.6/main/postgres.keytab POSTGRES/UBUNTU.ad.corp.com@AD.CORP.COM

klist -k /etc/postgresql/9.6/main/postgres.keytab

POSTGRES/UBUNTU.ad.corp.com@AD.CORP.COM

Here is the added onfiguration to postgresql.conf

krb_server_keyfile = '/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/postgres.keytab'

Here is the configuration of pg_hba.conf

host    all              all            0.0.0.0/0 gss

Up to here, all is working as expected, kinit with ubuntupg is also working well. ubuntupg and ubuntupg@xxxxxxxxxxx is also created on the database. The probleme is when I try, from a Windows client, connecting to the DB.

psql.exe -h 192.168.1.143 -U ubuntupg

Can't obtain database list from the server. SSPI continuation error. The specified target is unknown or unreachable (80090303)
