When a Fedora machine joins a domain (whether AD or IPA) the network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris should automatically be set to the domain suffix for the joined domain. This allows web clients to participate in the domain seamlessly. As it currently is users are expected to know that they should dig around in about:config, and set the network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris setting manually.
In theory realmd could try and populate this session, except for that the firefox profile is not a global thing ... Implementation ideas welcome.
It appears we can use these functions in mozilla.cfg: defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
+1 but how do you do that on user profiles ? we cannot touch /home in a rpm update, is there a way to kick an update of the settings when the user starts Firefox ?
Apparently there is a mozilla.cfg which contains global defaults. I need to figure out where it's placed exactly, but you can see it being described here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lock_Prefs We wouldn't necessarily lock the prefs, but instead provide defaults once the domain is joined.
the *.cfg file is located in mozilla lib dir, i.e. /usr/lib(64)/firefox in Fedora.
delegation-uris is a harder one to do automatically. We may have to have web apps offer to set this ... or use s4u2proxy properly.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
