Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2015-03-03 12:27:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

When configuring external authentication using katello-installer's --foreman-ipa-authentication=true option, some options are hardcoded, for example KrbLocalUserMapping On. It should be possible for the admin to tweak those values -- KrbLocalUserMapping to achieve Namespace Separation per http://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_App_Authentication#Namespace_Separation, but other possible values as well.

One possibility is to add multitude of installer options to tweak various options of Apache modules. Another is to make it possible to drop Apache module snippets to some conf.d directories and have them loaded from appropriate places. That way the admin will have free hand to configure other aspects of the setup, beyond what is explicitly supported by the installer, without the danger of manually editing puppet-managed configuration files -- those changes will get lost.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite 6.0.x.

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to tweak Apache configuration of Satellite 6, for example (but not limited to) KrbLocalUserMapping.

Actual results:

It's hard, there's danger next run of katello-installer will remove those changes.

Expected results:

There is a supported way to do that.

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Comment 4 Stephen Benjamin 2016-10-14 13:20:13 UTC 
I think adding arbitrary additional apache configuration options is the best, and there's a number of BZ's opened with similar goals that would be solved by this.  

Given the depth of apache's configuration options, it'd be a LOT of installer switches.

Consolidating these all under BZ1305782.
