For use with [[Spacenet]] we've installed OpenLDAP on [[NURDServer]]. On the new [[NURDserver_v2|Nurdserver v2]] we're going serious with LDAP.

You can use the following systems by logging into them using your LDAP account. These systems are only available when you are connected to the space network, or you have a working VPN tunnel to the space. Note that you need to be part of the BOFH group to gain root access. If you need root, ask someone from the BOFH team to see whats possible.
[http://fusiondirectory.org FusionDirectory] is running on a new VM called [[NURDserver_v2#nurdservices]]nurdservices on the proxmox system of [[NURDserver_v2|Nurdserver v2]]. Most users are migrated.

It can be accessed on http://nurdservices/fusiondirectory from within the network.
All machines are deployed using a combination of OpenTOFU, cloud-init and Ansible via an CI/CD pipeline running on Gitlab. Configuration is done via GIT. If you need a machine for any purpose, ask the BOFH team.


On [[Hp_dc5800_sinterklaas|Sinterklaas]], [[Dell_Optiplex_GX270|Vjdeb]] and the [[PrinterPC]] I've got it to work as I think it should be for the local users that existed:
TODO: Make this available for members without BOFH being involved.
* Homedirs moved to nfs mount from [[NURDserver_v2|Nurdservices]]
* Local homedirs and users deleted (except user 'printer' on [[PrinterPC]])
* /home/ is mounted over nfs on boot
* LDAP users can log in and see their homedirs as if nothing has changed
* Users in the LDAP 'sudo' group can sudo on connected workstations.

To get this to work you need to:
Authentication on this wiki is done via SAML using a combination of SimpleSAML and Keycloak. Keycloak uses LDAP as an identity source.
* create all local users in LDAP (if they don't exist already)
* move homedirs to nurdservices (fix ownership if needed)

* delete local homedirs
* install [http://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/NSS#NSS_Setup_with_libnss-ldapd libnss-ldapd]
* config the binddn (read-user) in pam_ldap.conf and nslcd.conf (this is needed to look up the cn based on the UID the user inputs)
* mount /home from nurdservices over nfs
* configure the ldap in nss and pam (no ssl, so ldap://nurdservices/)
* and add a line to /etc/pam.d/common-account:


<code>
== Gitlab ==
session    required  pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
See [[Network/Roadmap/MigrateToGitlab|our Gitlab instance]]
</code>


This step will no longer be needed once homedirs are created when you add a user to the LDAP.

Connected machines and services

Virtual Machines

You can use the following systems by logging into them using your LDAP account. These systems are only available when you are connected to the space network, or you have a working VPN tunnel to the space. Note that you need to be part of the BOFH group to gain root access. If you need root, ask someone from the BOFH team to see whats possible.
