What is it

SpaceFED is an inter-(hacker)space federated authentication platform which currently offers the following services:

  • spacenet - federated authentication using RADIUS, useful for 802.1X and more
  • spacesaml - federated authentication for cloudservices

We have implemented SpaceNET on the E4200 access point. This means we have an LDAP with users, hashes and other stuff, and a FreeRADIUS server for wireless authentication (802.1x) which uses the fore-mentioned LDAP to authenticate. This all runs on nurdservices.

Also, in the future we can use SpaceSAML to authenticate our webservices (mediawiki, gallery, i dunno) against this database.

How do I use it

New users

You will need to start by logging in to the LDAP from within the network with their new LDAP user account.

The reason for this is that passwords of new accounts are set in the field sambaLMPassword, but spacenet works with the NTPassword field. Changing your password via the FusionDirectory web interface changes both these fields to the same new value. You can also just re-enter your old password.

Linux

To log into SpaceNet (SSID spacenet) follow these steps.

Windows

Current status

29-04-2012: basic setup was working, OrganisationalUnits were made, 2 test users were added, and then buZz reindexed the database and wrecked it all.

18-06-2012 AK47 and Wilco of bitlair came and fixed nearly everything :P

11-04-2013 FwD moved SpaceNet to the E4200 and designated the WRT54GS as a fallback without SpaceNet
