Description Florence Blanc-Renaud 2020-04-02 17:25:10 UTC
Description of problem:
When configuring an AD trust agent, the command ipa-adtrust-install --add-agents is unable to configure the additional agent.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.6.8-1.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-267.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install ipa master with ipa-server-install
2. install ipa replica with ipa-replica-install
3. run ipa-adtrust-install --add-sids --a password --enable-compat --add-agents
When the command prompts for configuration of additional masters, answer yes

Actual results:
The command fails to configure the replica as a trust agent and prints:
WARNING: you MUST manually enable the Schema compatibility Plugin and 

WARNING: you MUST restart (both "ipactl restart" and "systemctl restart sssd")
the following IPA masters in order to activate them to serve information about
users from trusted forests:

<replica-fqdn>

Expected results:
The command should succeed.


Additional info:
ipa-adtrust-install launches a remote command on the replica though IPA XMLRPC. This command is using oddjob to execute a CLI but when SE linux is in enforcing mode, this mechanism fails with the following AVC:

type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(1585846187.646:486): proctitle=2F7573722F7362696E2F6F64646A6F6264002D6E002D70002F7661722F72756E2F6F64646A6F62642E706964002D7400333030

On Fedora 31+, freeipa delivers his own selinux policy and the following line was added in selinux/ipa.fc to fix the issue:

/usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/org\.freeipa\.server\.trust-enable-agent  --  gen_context(system_u:object_r:ipa_helper_exec_t,s0)

Comment 2 Lukas Vrabec 2020-04-07 15:01:02 UTC
This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. Current minor release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.

Comment 3 Florence Blanc-Renaud 2020-04-14 13:31:28 UTC
Hi,

I would like your team to re-consider this issue. AD trust is an important use case for IdM customers and without the fix, RHEL 7.9 looses the ability to easily configure additional trust agents in SELinux enforcing mode.

clearing needinfo on me as bugzilla is verified now.
