Access / Servers / LDAP
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
LDAP is the light weight directory access protocol used by Microsoft Active Directory,
|
|
OpenLDAP and Novell eDirectory, to name a few.
|
|
|
|
OPNsense can use a LDAP server for authentication purposes and for authorization
|
|
to access (parts) of the graphical user interface (web configurator). When using
|
|
LDAP for the GUI the privileges have to be defined with the local user manager,
|
|
to do so an import of the users from the LDAP source is required.
|
|
|
|
In this how-to we will show you how to configure both using Microsoft Active Directory
|
|
Server. If you only need LDAP for services like VPN, then you can skip step 3-5.
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
A functional LDAP server (example is based on MS AD) is required.
|
|
You OPNsense firewall need to be fully configured and able to access the LDAP server.
|
|
|
|
Step 1 - Add New LDAP server
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
To add a new LDAP server as authentication source, go to :menuselection:`System --> Access --> Servers`
|
|
and click on **Add server** the top right corner, just above the form.
|
|
|
|
Enter the following information:
|
|
|
|
=========================================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
================================ ======================== ===============================================================
|
|
**Descriptive name** ws2012 *Enter a descriptive name*
|
|
**Type** LDAP *Select LDAP*
|
|
**Hostname or IP address** 10.10.10.1 *Enter the IP address of you LDAP Server*
|
|
**Port value** 389 *Enter the port number, 389 is default*
|
|
**Transport** TCP - Standard *Select Standard or Encrypted*
|
|
**Protocol version** 3 *Select protocol version*
|
|
**Bind credentials**
|
|
User DN: cn=testusr,CN=Users, *Enter your credentials*
|
|
DC=opnsense,DC=local
|
|
Password: secret *alway use a strong password*
|
|
|
|
**Search scope** Entire Subtree *Select Entire Subtree to retrieve all*
|
|
**Base DN:** DC=opnsense,DC=local *Enter the Base DN*
|
|
**Authentication containers** *Select* *Click & Select the containers from the list*
|
|
**Extended Query** &(objectClass=Person) *Extend query, p.e. limit results to Persons*
|
|
**Initial Template** MicrosoftAD *Select you LDAP Server Type*
|
|
**User naming attribute** samAccountName *Auto filled in based upon Initial Template*
|
|
**Read properties** *Fetch account details after successful login*
|
|
**Synchronize groups** *Enable to Synchronize groups, requires the option above*
|
|
**Limit groups** *Select list of groups that maybe considered during sync**
|
|
**Match case insensitive** *Allow mixed case input when gathering local user settings.*
|
|
================================ ======================== ===============================================================
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
When clicking on the **Select** button right next to Authentication containers,
|
|
something similar to will show up:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/ldap_selectcontainer.png
|
|
:width: 100%
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
When using SSL/TLS, make sure the certificate authority of the remote server is configured in the :menuselection:`System -> Trust` section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Tip::
|
|
The **Extended Query** can be used to select users who are member of a specific
|
|
group (only relevant for external services, when not using the local user database).
|
|
One can use something like this:
|
|
**&(memberOf=CN=myGroup,CN=Users,DC=opnsense,DC=local)** to select only members
|
|
of the group *"myGroup"*. To add a user to a specific group under Windows just
|
|
edit the groups properties and select **Add...** to add the user under the tab
|
|
**Members**.

|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Tip::
|
|
|
|
In some cases local naming doesn't match server naming when it comes to users, the case insensitive option can
|
|
be used in that case to ignore case on login. Microsoft Access Directory for example doesn't match case sensitive,
|
|
in which case :code:`UsEr` equals :code:`user` (our system is case sensitive)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 1.1 (optional) Synchronize groups.
|
|
.........................................
|
|
|
|
When using the local database to import users, you can also synchronize configured ldap groups when the remote server
|
|
supports this. To use this feature, enable :code:`Read properties` and :code:`Synchronize groups`.
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
This feature needs the remote ldap server to respond with :code:`memberOf` when queried, how to enable this on
|
|
various ldap providers lies outside the scope of this manual.
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
Groups will be extracted from the first :code:`CN=` section and will only be considered when already existing in OPNsense.
|
|
Group memberships will be persisted in OPNsense
|
|
(you can always check which rights the user had the last time he or she successfully logged in).
|
|
|
|
Step 2 - Test
|
|
--------------
|
|
To test if the server is configured correctly, go to :menuselection:`System --> Access --> Tester`
|
|
and select your LDAP server and enter a valid username + password. Click on
|
|
**Test** and if everything is setup correctly it will show:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/ldap_testok.png
|
|
:width: 100%
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
When limited to just one group, the group name will not be shown in the listing.
|
|
|
|
If not (or your entered invalid credentials) it shows:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/ldap_testfail.png
|
|
:width: 100%
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Tip::
|
|
|
|
When :code:`Read properties` is enabled, you should also see all properties returned by the server in the tester. This
|
|
helps to identify if your server support group sync support (find :code:`memberOf` in the list).
|
|
|
|
Step 3 - Enable the authentication server
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
Go to :menuselection:`System --> Access --> Settings --> Administration` and under the **Authentication** section at the bottom, change
|
|
the **Server** dropdown to your newly added LDAP server and save.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 4 - Import Users
|
|
---------------------
|
|
If you would like to give LDAP/Active Directory users access to the GUI, you need
|
|
to import the users into the local user manager. Go to :menuselection:`System --> Access --> Users`
|
|
you will see a cloud import icon at the lower right corner of the form.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/user_cloudimport.png
|
|
:width: 39px
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click on the cloud import icon to start importing users.
|
|
|
|
A new form will be show with the individual users, select the ones you like to import.
|
|
|
|
Step 5 - Update LDAP user privileges
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
Now if you go to :menuselection:`System --> Access --> Users` you will see all users including the
|
|
newly imported LDAP users. You can create a specific group for these users to
|
|
easily manage the privileges or use one of your earlier created groups.
|
|
|
|
When opening a LDAP user (edit) via the pecil icon right next to the name, you will
|
|
notice the difference as the **User Distinguished name** will be shown from the
|
|
LDAP server, just like this:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/user_ldap_distinguishedname.png
|
|
:width: 100%
|
|
|
|
.. TIP::
|
|
See :doc:`user-local` for more information on User, Groups and privileges.
|
|
|
|
Step 6 - Update system access settings
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
Now we have configures, verified and imported the users from our LDAP server, we
|
|
need to change the default settings to allow LDAP users to login.
|
|
|
|
Go to :menuselection:`System --> Access --> Settings` and change the Authentication Server from
|
|
**Local Database** to your newly created **LDAP** server. Leave the fallback on
|
|
**Local Database** and click on **Save and Test**.
|
|
|
|
The test result should look like this:
|
|
|
|
