Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1242821

Description of problem:

The EXTERNAL auth source only gets created when the first user gets auto-created based on external authentication (enabled with --foreman-ipa-authentication=true). That's why the admin will not even see the tab to specify external group mapping when creating/editing user groups.

The EXTERNAL auth source should either be always present, or created when --foreman-ipa-authentication=true is used.

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

How reproducible:

Satellite 6.0 but the same behaviour in 6.1 as well.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable external authentication via IdM using --foreman-ipa-authentication=true.
2. Attempt to define mapping of external groups to Satellite (Foreman) user groups.

Actual results:

Not possible, the tab is there because the EXTERNAL auth source is not there.

Expected results:

It should be possible even before the first externally-authenticated user has logged in / was auto-populated in the user database.

History

#1 Updated by Marek Hulán over 5 years ago

  • Subject changed from External group mapping cannot be set when --foreman-ipa-authentication=true is used and no EXTERNAL user has been created yet to External group mapping cannot be set when --foreman-ipa-authentication=true is used and no EXTERNAL user has been created yet
  • Category set to Authentication
  • Target version set to 115

The problem is in all versions of Foreman released so far since external authentication was implemented. I think we should simply seed the external auth source so it's there when someone configures e.g. Apache to do the authentication externally.

Is this not a duplicate of #15286?

This was a prerequisite but it turns out the hammer command works well if there's the external auth source. So I'll close the other one as dup of this, thanks.

@marek, any chance to get this into 1.15?

#9 Updated by Marek Hulán over 5 years ago

It was merged after the branching and I'm afraid it would be rejected. This also required a patch in Katello to avoid test failures - #19174
Daniel would you accept this cherry-pick? It's tiny yet useful fix.
