Feature #4462

Updated by Jan Pazdziora almost 11 years ago

The form-based authentication should be able to consume external authentication, for example PAM authentication and access control provided by mod_intercept_form_submit. 

 The generic approach is documented at 

   http://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_App_Authentication 

 For Foreman, the goal is to be able to say 

 <pre> 
 LoadModule intercept_form_submit_module modules/mod_intercept_form_submit.so 
 <Location /users/login> 
   InterceptFormPAMService foreman-prod 
   InterceptFormLogin login[login] 
   InterceptFormPassword login[password] 
 </Location> 
 </pre> 

 and be able to authenticate against foreman-prod PAM service. 

 In case the Foreman machine is IPA-enrolled, additional user attributes should be consumable just link in case of projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Foreman_and_mod_auth_kerb. The mod_lookup_identity module configuration would then need to be amended to 

 <pre> 
 LoadModule lookup_identity_module modules/mod_lookup_identity.so 
 <LocationMatch ^/users/(ext)?login$> 
   LookupUserAttr mail REMOTE_USER_EMAIL " " 
   LookupUserAttr givenname REMOTE_USER_FIRSTNAME 
   LookupUserAttr sn REMOTE_USER_LASTNAME 
 </LocationMatch> 
 </pre> 

 to support both the Kerberos-based /users/extlogin, and /users/login.
