The following is what we did in order to utilize all of the benefits of a FreeIPA server (on Linux) with a FreeBSD client. The software packages needed are:
Once all software is installed, ensure the following directories exist:
The tricky part was getting sudo to work with host groups. FreeIPA keeps host groups in netgroups, and FreeBSD's support for netgroups is limited. One solution would have been to enable NIS services on the FreeIPA server so that we could use proper netgroups on FreeBSD clients. We didn't like that solution, so instead we wrote a script that pulls all netgroup data from FreeIPA and stores it in /etc/netgroup. We run the script every hour via cron.
We wrote a patch for pam_sss to support ignore_unknown_user. Without that support local users could authenticate when using SSSD for authentication. We submitted the patch upstream. It was accepted by the FreeIPA team and will hopefully be ported to FreeBSD soon. Our PAM configuration to support SSSD is:
To let the system know what method to use for passwd, group, sudo, etc. we updated our /etc/nsswitch.conf:
The final step was to create a kerberos keytab on the FreeIPA server and copy it over to our FreeBSD host. On the FreeIPA server we excecuted:
We then simply copied the keytab to /etc/krb5.keytab on our FreeBSD host.
