= Configuration of Single Sign On with Kerberos in itmSUITE PMSM 8.X =
 +
 
 +
Prerequisites
 +
# Windows 2003 Server SP2 Server (or higher) with AD controller set
 +
# Windows Server 2003 Support Tools is installed on Windows 2003 server
 +
# Computer with WildFly 10.1.0 is in the domain
 +
# Clocks on computer with Windows Server and on computer with WildFly should be synchronized
 +
 
 +
== Create SPN Account ==
 +
In Domain Server:
 +
* Go to menu  “Start – Administrative Tools – Active Directory Users and Computers” and create new user [spn_user].
 +
 
 +
Set properties:
 +
 
 +
"User cannot change password"
 +
"Password never expires"
 +
 
 +
Optionally check following option to enable AES 256 Encryption for Kerberos Ticket
 +
"This account supports Kerberos AES 256 bit encryption"
 +
 
 +
Example:
 +
User logon name:
 +
wildflyuser
 +
 
 +
Account Options:
 +
"User cannot change password" checked
 +
"Password never expires" checked
 +
"This account supports Kerberos AES 256 bit encryption" checked
 +
 
 +
* Run setspn commands:
 +
setspn –S HTTP/[appserver] [spn_user]
 +
setspn –S HTTP/[appserver.domain.local] [spn_user]
 +
 
 +
where:
 +
 
 +
[appserver] – computer name of JBoss machine
 +
[domain.local] – domain name
 +
[spn_user] – SPN account login (created on previous step)
 +
 
 +
Example:
 +
setspn –S HTTP/itmsuite_server wildflyuser
 +
setspn –S HTTP/itmsuite_server.domain.local wildflyuser
 +
 
 +
To check if the settings are right run the next command:
 +
 
 +
setspn –L wildflyuser
 +
 
 +
Be careful that you do NOT register an SPN to more than one username. A username can have more than one SPN registered but an SPN can only have one username.
 +
 
 +
Avoid to copy/paste the setspn commands from a text editor to cmd window - it will not work.
 +
Is necessary to edit the setspn commands into cmd window.
 +
 
 +
== Create a service.keytab file ==
 +
There are two possible ways to generate keytab file: using ktpass command of Windows or ktab of JDK package.
 +
 
 +
=== Ktpass ===
 +
Run the following command to configure the Service Principal Mapping:
 +
 
 +
ktpass -out service.keytab -princ HTTP/[appserver]@[domain].local -pass *
 +
-mapuser [DOMAIN]\[spn_user]
 +
 
 +
Enter the password for the user name, when prompted.
 +
 
 +
Where:
 +
[appserver] – computer name of WildFly machine
 +
[DOMAIN] – domain name
 +
[spn_user] – SPN account login (created on previous step)
 +
 
 +
Example:
 +
ktpass -out service.keytab -princ HTTP/itmsuite_server@domain.local -pass * -mapuser
 +
DOMAIN\wildflyuser
 +
 
 +
 
 +
This command will modify the login of SPN User into HTTP/[appserver]
 +
 
 +
=== Ktab ===
 +
Run the following command to configure the Service Principal Mapping (from <JAVA_HOME>/bin directory):
 +
 
 +
ktab -k service.keytab -a HTTP/[appserver]@[domain].local –n 0
 +
 
 +
Enter the password for the user name, when prompted.
 +
 
 +
Where:
 +
[appserver] – computer name of WildFly machine;
 +
[domain] – domain name
 +
 
 +
Example:
 +
ktab -k service.keytab -a HTTP/itmsuite_server -n 0
 +
 
 +
Kerberos authentication is very complicated thing and depends at first from Active Directory
 +
configuration, security politics, etc. These two commands will work with default AD settings.
 +
In case of there are any modifications in AD (some none-default encryption types for example),
 +
these commands must be reviewed in order to add some extra options.
 +
 
 +
Complete the procedure by following steps:
 +
* 1. Copy file service.keytab to <WILDFLY_HOME>/standalone/configuration
 +
 
 +
* 2. Replace all variables with actual values in file <WILDFLY_HOME>/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml:
 +
 
 +
<SERVER> with computer name of WildFly machine
 +
<DOMAIN-NAME> with domain name
 +
 
 +
== Tuning of the krb5.conf file ==
 +
* Copy file Config/JbossHome/standalone/krb5.conf to to <WILDFLY_HOME>/standalone/configuration directory.
 +
 
 +
* Open file. It contains the next content:
 +
TBC
 +
 
 +
* change these settings to actual values:
 +
AD.KV4 – replace with actual domain name;
 +
cerberos.ad.kv4 – replace with actual AD controller’s computer name (with domain).
 +
 
 +
=== Tool to check Kerberos configuration ===
 +

 +
Run following command to visualize the Kerberos Tickets on client (PC where browser is running):
 +
 
 +
Klist
 +
 
 +

Configuration of Single Sign On with Kerberos in itmSUITE PMSM 8.X

Prerequisites

  1. Windows 2003 Server SP2 Server (or higher) with AD controller set
  2. Windows Server 2003 Support Tools is installed on Windows 2003 server
  3. Computer with WildFly 10.1.0 is in the domain
  4. Clocks on computer with Windows Server and on computer with WildFly should be synchronized

Create SPN Account

In Domain Server:

  • Go to menu “Start – Administrative Tools – Active Directory Users and Computers” and create new user [spn_user].

Set properties:

"User cannot change password"
"Password never expires"

Optionally check following option to enable AES 256 Encryption for Kerberos Ticket

"This account supports Kerberos AES 256 bit encryption"

Example:

User logon name:
wildflyuser
Account Options:
"User cannot change password" checked
"Password never expires" checked
"This account supports Kerberos AES 256 bit encryption" checked
  • Run setspn commands:
setspn –S HTTP/[appserver] [spn_user]
setspn –S HTTP/[appserver.domain.local] [spn_user]

where:

[appserver] – computer name of JBoss machine
[domain.local] – domain name
[spn_user] – SPN account login (created on previous step)

Example:

setspn –S HTTP/itmsuite_server wildflyuser
setspn –S HTTP/itmsuite_server.domain.local wildflyuser

To check if the settings are right run the next command:

setspn –L wildflyuser

Be careful that you do NOT register an SPN to more than one username. A username can have more than one SPN registered but an SPN can only have one username.

Avoid to copy/paste the setspn commands from a text editor to cmd window - it will not work. Is necessary to edit the setspn commands into cmd window.

Create a service.keytab file

There are two possible ways to generate keytab file: using ktpass command of Windows or ktab of JDK package.

Ktpass

Run the following command to configure the Service Principal Mapping:

ktpass -out service.keytab -princ HTTP/[appserver]@[domain].local -pass * 
-mapuser [DOMAIN]\[spn_user]

Enter the password for the user name, when prompted.

Where:

[appserver] – computer name of WildFly machine
[DOMAIN] – domain name
[spn_user] – SPN account login (created on previous step)

Example:

ktpass -out service.keytab -princ HTTP/itmsuite_server@domain.local -pass * -mapuser 
DOMAIN\wildflyuser


This command will modify the login of SPN User into HTTP/[appserver]

Ktab

Run the following command to configure the Service Principal Mapping (from <JAVA_HOME>/bin directory):

ktab -k service.keytab -a HTTP/[appserver]@[domain].local –n 0

Enter the password for the user name, when prompted.

Where:

[appserver] – computer name of WildFly machine;
[domain] – domain name

Example:

ktab -k service.keytab -a HTTP/itmsuite_server -n 0

Shall be possible define a precise OU of domain to be considered in connection

Example: connection to Organizational Unit "TechUser" belongs to domain itmSUITE.local shall be inserted as OU=TechUsers,DC=itmSUITE,DC=local

Server Type Type of domain controller AD (active Directory) and OpenLDAP are supported
Active If checked: the connection is active

By click on button Add New is possible to add a domain connection by filling the following properties

Field Description Comment
Configuration Name Mandatory. The name of current Domain connection
Host Mandatory. Domain server address or host name
Server Type Mandatory. Type of domain controller AD (active Directory) and OpenLDAP are supported
BaseDN Mandatory. The domain Distinguished Name It shall contain the domain name parts separated by ",".

Example: itmSUITE.local shall be inserted as DC=itmSUITE,DC=local

Shall be possible define a precise OU of domain to be considered in connection

Example: connection to Organizational Unit "TechUser" belongs to domain itmSUITE.local shall be inserted as OU=TechUsers,DC=itmSUITE,DC=local

Bind User Domain user login it will be used for current connection
Bind Password Domain user password it will be used for current connection
Active If checked: the connection is active Current connection can't be active until it is not checked
Sample user's login Domain user login used for check inserted parameters
Sample user's password Domain user password used for check inserted parameters
Checked If checked: the connection has been verified

A domain connection shall be activable only after it was checked: use button Check to verify it.

At click on button Check: itmSUITE will send a request to domain with inserted credentials.

If at least 1 connection is active the user with same login on domain could use domain credentials instead of user credentials.

The basic condition to use domain credentials is: domain login shall exists into itmSUITE PMSM database too. To support this basic condition: itmSUITE allows the Domain synchronization with import from LDAP function (see below).

In this case the authentication follows these steps:

  • 1. itmSUITE checks if login inserted is existing in its DB, otherwise access is not allowed.
  • 2. itmSUITE sends a request with pair login, password to domain controller.
  • 3. The domain controller checks if the login inserted is existing in domain and if password is correct.
  • 4. If domain controller response is positive: itmSUITE allows access.
  • 5. If domain controller response is negative: itmSUITE checks password on its DB and grants access if check is positive, otherwise access is not allowed.

More than one connection to domain(s) can be active at the same time: in this case the above step 2 is executed on each active connection.

Configuration of Single Sign On with NTLM in itmSUITE PMSM 7.X

SSO (Single Sign On) via NTLM and Microsoft AD ( Active Directory ) can be managed in General\System\LM Settings with superadmin role in Tab 'NTLM'.

Configuration of Single Sign On with Kerberos in itmSUITE PMSM 7.X

Prerequisites:

  • Windows 2003 Server SP2 (or next) with AD controller set
  • Windows Server Support Tools installed
  • Computer with JBoss AS is in the domain
  • Clocks on Domain Server and Server with JBoss AS should be synchronized

Create SPN Account

In Domain Server:

  • Go to menu “Start – Administrative Tools – Active Directory Users and Computers” and create new user.
Set properties
“User cannot change password”
“Password never expires”
  • Run setspn commands:
setspn –S HTTP/appserver wildflyuser
setspn –S HTTP/appserver.domain.local wildflyuser
where:
appserver – computer name of JBoss machine;
domain.local – domain name;
wildflyuser – SPN account login (created on previous step)

To check if the settings are right run the next command: setspn –L service_acc. Avoid to copy/paste the setspn commands from a text editor to cmd window - it will not work. Is necessary to edit the setspn commands into cmd window.
