Password change capability for form-based auth

2012-06-12T03:07:03+00:00

IPA server web form-based authentication allows logins for users
which for some reason cannot use Kerberos authentication. However,
when a password for such users expires, they are unable change the
password via web interface.

This patch adds a new WSGI script attached to URL
/ipa/session/change_password which can be accessed without
authentication and which provides password change capability
for web services.

The actual password change in the script is processed by LDAP
password change command.

Password result is passed both in the resulting HTML page, but
also in HTTP headers for easier parsing in web services:
  X-IPA-Pwchange-Result: {ok, invalid-password, policy-error, error}
  (optional) X-IPA-Pwchange-Policy-Error: $policy_error_text

Return consistent expiration message for forms-based login

2012-04-17T01:53:01+00:00

We need to inform users when a forms-based login fails due to the
password needing to be reset. Currently there is no way to distinguish
a reset case vs an incorrect password.

This will bind the user using a simple LDAP bind over ldapi (by default)
and if that is successful, check the expiration date against the current
time.

The UI portion of this that uses this message will come later.

Fix little test errors

2012-04-03T20:19:43+00:00

Two test methods in test_rpcserver had the same name; the first didn't get
to run.
Another duplicate pair was in test_hbac_plugin with the same name; the ignored
test had small error in it.
check_TypeError used a wrong constant name
An error reporting function in test.util used uninitialized argument names.

This patch fixes these problems.

subclass HTTP_Status from plugable.Plugin, fix not_found tests

2012-03-01T02:04:10+00:00

HTTP_Status needs to subclass from Plugin because it does its own logging.

Add tests for other methods of HTTP_Status

Implement password based session login

2012-02-27T10:57:43+00:00

* Adjust URL's
  - rename /ipa/login -> /ipa/session/login_kerberos
  - add /ipa/session/login_password

* Adjust Kerberos protection on URL's in ipa.conf

* Bump VERSION in httpd ipa.conf to pick up session changes.

* Adjust login URL in ipa.js

* Add InvalidSessionPassword to errors.py

* Rename krblogin class to login_kerberos for consistency with
  new login_password class

* Implement login_password.kinit() method which invokes
  /usr/bin/kinit as a subprocess

* Add login_password class for WSGI dispatch, accepts POST
  application/x-www-form-urlencoded user & password
  parameters. We form the Kerberos principal from the server's
  realm.

* Add function  krb5_unparse_ccache()

* Refactor code to share common code

* Clean up use of ccache names, be consistent

* Replace read_krbccache_file(), store_krbccache_file(), delete_krbccache_file()
  with load_ccache_data(), bind_ipa_ccache(), release_ipa_ccache().
  bind_ipa_ccache() now sets environment KRB5CCNAME variable.
  release_ipa_ccache() now clears environment KRB5CCNAME variable.

* ccache names should now support any ccache storage scheme,
  not just FILE based ccaches

* Add utilies to return HTTP status from wsgi handlers,
  use constants for HTTP status code for consistency.
  Use utilies for returning from wsgi handlers rather than
  duplicated code.

* Add KerberosSession.finalize_kerberos_acquisition() method
  so different login handlers can share common code.

* add Requires: krb5-workstation to server (server now calls kinit)

* Fix test_rpcserver.py to use new dispatch inside route() method

Tweak the session auth to reflect developer consensus.

2012-02-27T10:54:29+00:00

* Increase the session ID from 48 random bits to 128.

* Implement the sesison_logout RPC command. It permits the UI to send
  a command that destroys the users credentials in the current
  session.

* Restores the original web URL's and their authentication
  protections. Adds a new URL for sessions /ipa/session/json. Restores
  the original Kerberos auth which was for /ipa and everything
  below. New /ipa/session/json URL is treated as an exception and
  turns all authenticaion off. Similar to how /ipa/ui is handled.

* Refactor the RPC handlers in rpcserver.py such that there is one
  handler per URL, specifically one handler per RPC and AuthMechanism
  combination.

* Reworked how the URL names are used to map a URL to a
  handler. Previously it only permitted one level in the URL path
  hierarchy. We now dispatch on more that one URL path component.

* Renames the api.Backend.session object to wsgi_dispatch. The use of
  the name session was historical and is now confusing since we've
  implemented sessions in a different location than the
  api.Backend.session object, which is really a WSGI dispatcher, hence
  the new name wsgi_dispatch.

* Bullet-proof the setting of the KRB5CCNAME environment
  variable. ldap2.connect already sets it via the create_context()
  call but just in case that's not called or not called early enough
  (we now have other things besides ldap which need the ccache) we
  explicitly set it early as soon as we know it.

* Rework how we test for credential validity and expiration. The
  previous code did not work with s4u2proxy because it assumed the
  existance of a TGT. Now we first try ldap credentials and if we
  can't find those fallback to the TGT. This logic was moved to the
  KRB5_CCache object, it's an imperfect location for it but it's the
  only location that makes sense at the moment given some of the
  current code limitations. The new methods are KRB5_CCache.valid()
  and KRB5_CCache.endtime().

* Add two new classes to session.py AuthManager and
  SessionAuthManager. Their purpose is to emit authication events to
  interested listeners. At the moment the logout event is the only
  event, but the framework should support other events as they arise.

* Add BuildRequires python-memcached to freeipa.spec.in

* Removed the marshaled_dispatch method, it was cruft, no longer
  referenced.

Move the compat module from ipalib to ipapython.

2012-02-14T03:22:49+00:00

Fixes import problems trying to import just ipalib/compat.py.

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/754

Fix attempted write to attribute of read-only object.

2012-01-02T08:51:26+00:00

Add new class "cachedproperty" for creating property-like attributes
that cache the return value of a method call.

Also fix few issues in the unit tests to enable them to succeed.

Add plugin framework to LDAP updates.

2011-11-23T04:57:10+00:00

There are two reasons for the plugin framework:
1. To provide a way of doing manual/complex LDAP changes without having
   to keep extending ldapupdate.py (like we did with managed entries).
2. Allows for better control of restarts.

There are two types of plugins, preop and postop. A preop plugin runs
before any file-based updates are loaded. A postop plugin runs after
all file-based updates are applied.

A preop plugin may update LDAP directly or craft update entries to be
applied with the file-based updates.

Either a preop or postop plugin may attempt to restart the dirsrv instance.
The instance is only restartable if ipa-ldap-updater is being executed
as root. A warning is printed if a restart is requested for a non-root
user.

Plugins are not executed by default. This is so we can use ldapupdate
to apply simple updates in commands like ipa-nis-manage.

Add a function for formatting network locations of the form host:port for use in URLs.

2011-10-05T08:58:25+00:00

If the host part is a literal IPv6 address, it must be enclosed in square
brackets (RFC 2732).
