Apache SSO through Kerberos using Machine Account
- by watkipet
I'm attempting to get Apache on Ubuntu 12.04 to authenticate users via Kerberos SSO to a Windows 2008 Active Directory server. Here are a few things that make my situation different:
I don't have administrative access to the Windows Server (nor will I ever have access). I also cannot have any changes to the server made on my behalf.
I've joined Ubuntu server to the Active Directory using PBIS open.
Users can log into the Ubuntu server using their AD credentials. kinit also works fine for each user.
Since I can't change AD (except for adding new machines and SPNs), I cannot add a service account for Apache on Ubuntu.
Since I can't add I service account, I have to use the machine keytab (/etc/krb5.keytab), or at least use the machine password in another keytab. Right now I'm using the machine keytab and giving Apache readonly access (bad idea, I know).
I've already added the SPN using
net ads keytab add HTTP -U
Since I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, the only encoding types that get added during "net ads keytab add" are arcfour-hmac, des-cbc-crc, and des-cbc-md5. PBIS adds the AES encoding types to the host and cifs principals when it joins the domain, but I have yet to get "net ads keytab add" to do this.
ktpass and setspn are out of the question because of #1 above.
I've configured (for Kerberos SSO) and tested both IE 8 Firefox.
I'm using the following configuration in my Apache site config:
<Location /secured>
AuthType Kerberos
AuthName "Kerberos Login"
KrbMethodNegotiate On
KrbMethodK5Passwd On
KrbAuthRealms DOMAIN.COM
Krb5KeyTab /etc/krb5.keytab
KrbLocalUserMapping On
require valid-user
</Location>
When Firefox tries to connect get the following in Apache's error.log (LogLevel debug):

Let me know if you'd like additional log and config files--the initial question is getting long enough.
