Integrate Identity with LDAP
============================
The OpenStack Identity service supports integration with existing LDAP
directories for authentication and authorization services. LDAP back
ends require initialization before configuring the OpenStack Identity
service to work with it. For more information, see `Setting up LDAP
for use with Keystone <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenLDAP>`__.
When the OpenStack Identity service is configured to use LDAP back ends,
you can split authentication (using the *identity* feature) and
authorization (using the *assignment* feature). OpenStack Identity only
supports read-only LDAP integration.
The *identity* feature enables administrators to manage users and groups
by each domain or the OpenStack Identity service entirely.
The *assignment* feature enables administrators to manage project role
authorization using the OpenStack Identity service SQL database, while
providing user authentication through the LDAP directory.
.. NOTE::
It is possible to isolate identity related information to LDAP in a
deployment and keep resource information in a separate datastore. It is not
possible to do the opposite, where resource information is stored in LDAP
and identity information is stored in SQL. If the resource or assignment
back ends are integrated with LDAP, the identity back end must also be
integrated with LDAP.
Identity LDAP server set up
---------------------------
.. important::
If you are using SELinux (enabled by default on RHEL derivatives),
then in order for the OpenStack Identity service to access LDAP servers,
you must enable the ``authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap`` boolean value for
SELinux on the server running the OpenStack Identity service. To enable
and make the option persistent across reboots, set the following boolean
value as the root user:
.. code-block:: console
# setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap on
The Identity configuration is split into two separate back ends; identity
(back end for users and groups), and assignments (back end for domains,
projects, roles, role assignments). To configure Identity, set options
in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` file. See `Integrate Identity back end
with LDAP`_ for Identity back end configuration
examples. Modify these examples as needed.
**To define the destination LDAP server**
Define the destination LDAP server in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` file:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
url = ldap://localhost
user = dc=Manager,dc=example,dc=org
password = samplepassword
suffix = dc=example,dc=org
Multiple LDAP servers can be supplied to ``url`` to provide high-availability
support for a single LDAP backend. To specify multiple LDAP servers, simply
change the ``url`` option in the ``[ldap]`` section to be a list, separated by
commas:
.. code-block:: ini
url = "ldap://localhost,ldap://backup.localhost"
**Additional LDAP integration settings**
Set these options in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` file for a
single LDAP server, or ``/etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf``
files for multiple back ends. Example configurations appear below each
setting summary:
**Query option**
.. hlist::
:columns: 1
* Use ``query_scope`` to control the scope level of data presented
(search only the first level or search an entire sub-tree)
through LDAP.
* Use ``page_size`` to control the maximum results per page. A value
of zero disables paging.
* Use ``alias_dereferencing`` to control the LDAP dereferencing
option for queries.
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
query_scope = sub
page_size = 0
alias_dereferencing = default
chase_referrals =
**Debug**
Use ``debug_level`` to set the LDAP debugging level for LDAP calls.
A value of zero means that debugging is not enabled.
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
debug_level = 4095
This setting sets ``OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL`` in the underlying python library. This
field is a bit mask (integer), and the possible flags are documented in the
OpenLDAP manpages. Commonly used values include 255 and 4095, with 4095 being
more verbose and 0 being disabled. We recommend consulting the documentation
for your LDAP back end when using this option.
.. WARNING::
Enabling ``debug_level`` will negatively impact performance.
**Connection pooling**
Various LDAP back ends use a common LDAP module to interact with LDAP data. By
default, a new connection is established for each LDAP operation. This is
expensive when TLS support is enabled, which is a likely configuration in an
enterprise setup. Reusing connections from a connection pool drastically
reduces overhead of initiating a new connection for every LDAP operation.
Use ``use_pool`` to enable LDAP connection pooling. Configure the
connection pool size, maximum retry, reconnect trials, timeout (-1
indicates indefinite wait) and lifetime in seconds.
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
use_pool = true
pool_size = 10
pool_retry_max = 3
pool_retry_delay = 0.1
pool_connection_timeout = -1
pool_connection_lifetime = 600
**Connection pooling for end user authentication**
LDAP user authentication is performed via an LDAP bind operation. In large
deployments, user authentication can use up all available connections in a
connection pool. OpenStack Identity provides a separate connection pool
specifically for user authentication.
Use ``use_auth_pool`` to enable LDAP connection pooling for end user
authentication. Configure the connection pool size and lifetime in seconds.
Both ``use_pool`` and ``use_auth_pool`` must be enabled to pool connections for
user authentication.
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
use_auth_pool = false
auth_pool_size = 100
auth_pool_connection_lifetime = 60
When you have finished the configuration, restart the OpenStack Identity
service.
.. warning::
During the service restart, authentication and authorization are
unavailable.
Integrate Identity back end with LDAP
-------------------------------------
The Identity back end contains information for users, groups, and group
member lists. Integrating the Identity back end with LDAP allows
administrators to use users and groups in LDAP.
.. important::
For OpenStack Identity service to access LDAP servers, you must
define the destination LDAP server in the
``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` file. For more information,
see `Identity LDAP server set up`_.
**To integrate one Identity back end with LDAP**
#. Enable the LDAP Identity driver in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf``
file. This allows LDAP as an identity back end:
.. code-block:: ini
[identity]
#driver = sql
driver = ldap
#. Create the organizational units (OU) in the LDAP directory, and define
the corresponding location in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf``
file:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
user_tree_dn = ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org
user_objectclass = inetOrgPerson
group_tree_dn = ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=org
group_objectclass = groupOfNames
.. note::
These schema attributes are extensible for compatibility with
various schemas. For example, this entry maps to the person
attribute in Active Directory:
.. code-block:: ini
user_objectclass = person
Restart the OpenStack Identity service.
.. warning::
During service restart, authentication and authorization are
unavailable.
**To integrate multiple Identity back ends with LDAP**
#. Set the following options in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf``
file:
#. Enable the LDAP driver:
.. code-block:: ini
[identity]
#driver = sql
driver = ldap
#. Enable domain-specific drivers:
.. code-block:: ini
[identity]
domain_specific_drivers_enabled = True
domain_config_dir = /etc/keystone/domains
#. Restart the OpenStack Identity service.
.. warning::
During service restart, authentication and authorization are
unavailable.
#. List the domains using the dashboard, or the OpenStackClient CLI. Refer
to the `Command List
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/
command-list.html>`__
for a list of OpenStackClient commands.
#. Create domains using OpenStack dashboard, or the OpenStackClient CLI.
#. For each domain, create a domain-specific configuration file in the
``/etc/keystone/domains`` directory. Use the file naming convention
``keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf``, where DOMAIN\_NAME is the domain name
assigned in the previous step.
.. note::
The options set in the
``/etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf`` file will
override options in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` file.
#. Define the destination LDAP server in the
``/etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf`` file. For example:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
url = ldap://localhost
user = dc=Manager,dc=example,dc=org
password = samplepassword
suffix = dc=example,dc=org
#. Create the organizational units (OU) in the LDAP directories, and define
their corresponding locations in the
``/etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf`` file. For example:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
user_tree_dn = ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org
user_objectclass = inetOrgPerson
group_tree_dn = ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=org
group_objectclass = groupOfNames
.. note::
These schema attributes are extensible for compatibility with
various schemas. For example, this entry maps to the person
attribute in Active Directory:
.. code-block:: ini
user_objectclass = person
#. Restart the OpenStack Identity service.
.. warning::
During service restart, authentication and authorization are
unavailable.
**Additional LDAP integration settings**
Set these options in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` file for a
single LDAP server, or ``/etc/keystone/domains/keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf``
files for multiple back ends. Example configurations appear below each
setting summary:
Filters
Use filters to control the scope of data presented through LDAP.
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
user_filter = (memberof=cn=openstack-users,ou=workgroups,dc=example,dc=org)
group_filter =
Identity attribute mapping
Mask account status values (include any additional attribute
mappings) for compatibility with various directory services.
Superfluous accounts are filtered with ``user_filter``.
Setting attribute ignore to list of attributes stripped off on
update.
For example, you can mask Active Directory account status attributes
in the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` file:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
user_id_attribute = cn
user_name_attribute = sn
user_mail_attribute = mail
user_pass_attribute = userPassword
user_enabled_attribute = userAccountControl
user_enabled_mask = 2
user_enabled_invert = false
user_enabled_default = 512
user_default_project_id_attribute =
user_additional_attribute_mapping =
group_id_attribute = cn
group_name_attribute = ou
group_member_attribute = member
group_desc_attribute = description
group_additional_attribute_mapping =
It is possible to model more complex LDAP schemas. For example, in the user
object, the objectClass posixAccount from `RFC2307 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2307>`_
is very common. If this is the underlying objectClass, then the ``uid``
field should probably be ``uidNumber`` and the ``username`` field should be
either ``uid`` or ``cn``. The following illustrates the configuration:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
user_id_attribute = uidNumber
user_name_attribute = cn
Enabled emulation
OpenStack Identity supports emulation for integrating with LDAP servers that
do not provide an ``enabled`` attribute for users. This allows OpenStack
Identity to advertise ``enabled`` attributes when the user entity in LDAP
does not. The ``user_enabled_emulation`` option must be enabled and the
``user_enabled_emulation_dn`` option must be a valid LDAP group. Users in
the group specified by ``user_enabled_emulation_dn`` will be marked as
``enabled``. For example, the following will mark any user who is a member
of the ``enabled_users`` group as enabled:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
user_enabled_emulation = True
user_enabled_emulation_dn = cn=enabled_users,cn=groups,dc=openstack,dc=org
If the directory server has an enabled attribute, but it is not a boolean
type, a mask can be used to convert it. This is useful when the enabled
attribute is an integer value. The following configuration highlights the
usage:
.. code-block:: ini
[ldap]
user_enabled_attribute = userAccountControl
user_enabled_mask = 2
user_enabled_default = 512
In this case, the attribute is an integer and the enabled attribute is
listed in bit 1. If the mask configured ``user_enabled_mask`` is different
from 0, it retrieves the attribute from ``user_enabled_attribute`` and
performs an add operation with the ``user_enabled_mask``. If the sum of the
operation matches the mask, then the account is disabled.
The value of ``user_enabled_attribute`` is also saved before applying the
add operation in ``enabled_nomask``. This is done in case the user needs to
be enabled or disabled. Lastly, setting ``user_enabled_default`` is needed
in order to create a default value on the integer attribute (512 = NORMAL
ACCOUNT in Active Directory).
When you have finished configuration, restart the OpenStack Identity
service.
.. warning::
During service restart, authentication and authorization are
unavailable.
Secure the OpenStack Identity service connection to an LDAP back end
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We recommend securing all connections between OpenStack Identity and LDAP. The
Identity service supports the use of TLS to encrypt LDAP traffic. Before
configuring this, you must first verify where your certificate authority file
is located. For more information, see the `OpenStack Security Guide SSL
introduction <https://docs.openstack.org/
security-guide/secure-communication/introduction-to-ssl-and-tls.html>`_.
Once you verify the location of your certificate authority file:
**To configure TLS encryption on LDAP traffic**
#. Open the ``/etc/keystone/keystone.conf`` configuration file.
#. Find the ``[ldap]`` section.
#. In the ``[ldap]`` section, set the ``use_tls`` configuration key to
``True``. Doing so will enable TLS.
#. Configure the Identity service to use your certificate authorities file.
To do so, set the ``tls_cacertfile`` configuration key in the ``ldap``
section to the certificate authorities file's path.
.. note::
You can also set the ``tls_cacertdir`` (also in the ``ldap``
section) to the directory where all certificate authorities files
are kept. If both ``tls_cacertfile`` and ``tls_cacertdir`` are set,
then the latter will be ignored.
#. Specify what client certificate checks to perform on incoming TLS
sessions from the LDAP server. To do so, set the ``tls_req_cert``
configuration key in the ``[ldap]`` section to ``demand``, ``allow``, or
``never``:
.. hlist::
:columns: 1
* ``demand`` - The LDAP server always receives certificate
requests. The session terminates if no certificate
is provided, or if the certificate provided cannot be verified
against the existing certificate authorities file.
* ``allow`` - The LDAP server always receives certificate
requests. The session will proceed as normal even if a certificate
is not provided. If a certificate is provided but it cannot be
verified against the existing certificate authorities file, the
certificate will be ignored and the session will proceed as
normal.
* ``never`` - A certificate will never be requested.
When you have finished configuration, restart the OpenStack Identity
service.
.. NOTE::
If you are unable to connect to LDAP via OpenStack Identity, or observe a
*SERVER DOWN* error, set the ``TLS_CACERT`` in ``/etc/ldap/ldap.conf`` to
the same value specified in the ``[ldap] tls_certificate`` section of
``keystone.conf``.
On distributions that include openstack-config, you can configure TLS
encryption on LDAP traffic by running the following commands instead.
.. code-block:: console
# openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf \
ldap use_tls True
# openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf \
ldap tls_cacertfile ``CA_FILE``
# openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf \
ldap tls_req_cert ``CERT_BEHAVIOR``
Where:
- ``CA_FILE`` is the absolute path to the certificate authorities file
that should be used to encrypt LDAP traffic.
- ``CERT_BEHAVIOR`` specifies what client certificate checks to perform
on an incoming TLS session from the LDAP server (``demand``,
``allow``, or ``never``).
