RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 Martin Kosek 2016-08-12 11:17:02 UTC 
Bug 1317379 implemented experimental support of Smart Card authentication to IdM Web UI. This bug is tracking implementation of a version without the security concerns in the original solution.

+++ Original description of Bug 1317379 +++

Description of problem:
IdM Web UI in RHEL-7.2 or older only allows Kerberos or Password authentication. The Web UI capabilities should be extended to also allow Smart Card authentication for environments leveraging Smart Card authentication instead of Kerberos.

This change means changing current Web UI authentication architecture, which does a kinit internally, when a password is passed. This cannot be done with the Smart Cards as Web UI does not have access to it.


User Story:
As an Administrator in Government Sector (required to use Smart Cards), I want to authenticate to the IdM Web UI with my Smart Card, so that I am not forced to enable password authentication which is forbidden in my environment.

--- Additional comment from Martin Kosek on 2016-08-12 07:02:35 EDT ---

This feature was investigated and implemented as a POC for IdM in RHEL-7.3. Given current IdM Server architecture around it's Web (Apache) service, the solution cannot unfortunately be claimed as ready for production use due to security concerns and lack of privilege separation.

Therefore, the feature will be only presented as Experimental feature for users, where they can qualify it, test in their environment and report back if it works and satisfies the expectations/requirements. The feature won't be enabled by default and will require configuration (including API/CLI and Web UI plugins). 

Upstream feature page is here:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/External_Authentication

Current configuration procedure is being developed here:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/External_Authentication/Setup

Given above, I am changing the feature to "Experimental". A new Bugzilla will be created to track "proper" implementation that is secure and better suited for production use.

It should be noted that there were problems with logging in as different users.  I will post that under bug #1430675 though.  For the basic purpose of this bug covering WebUI authentication with Smart Cards, it appears to work for this version.
Comment 18 Martin Kosek 2017-05-26 09:39:40 UTC 
Please note that Red Hat officially released public RHEL-7.4 Beta this week, as announced here:
https://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/red-hat-enterprise-linux-74-beta-now-available

The new RHEL-7.4 release includes a lot of new IdM functionality, including this RFE. Highlights can be found in RHEL-7.4 Release Notes, especially in the Authentication & Interoperability chapter:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7-Beta/html/7.4_Release_Notes/new_features_authentication_and_interoperability.html

IdM Engineering team would like to encourage everyone interested in this new functionality (and especially customers or community members requesting it) to try Beta and provide us with your feedback!
