第9章 Authenticating as an Active Directory user using PKINIT with a smart card


Active Directory (AD) users can use a smart card to authenticate to a desktop client system joined to IdM and obtain a Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) for single sign-on (SSO) authentication from the client. This process is intended for AD user accounts that require smart card authentication, which prevents them from using password-based logins.

重要

You cannot use these instructions to access IdM resources for which their Kerberos service has pkinit authentication indicator requirement. This is because the process obtains a TGT from the Active Directory Kerberos Distribution Center (AD KDC), not the IdM KDC. As a result, the TGT does not contain the necessary authentication indicator, and the IdM service will deny your access.

To enable PKINIT authentication for IdM users to access IdM services see Managing Kerberos ticket policies.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Configure the Kerberos client to trust the CA that issued the smart card certificate:

    1. On the IdM client, open the /etc/krb5.conf file.
    2. Add the following lines to the file:

      [realms]
        AD.DOMAIN.COM = {
          pkinit_eku_checking = kpServerAuth
          pkinit_kdc_hostname = adserver.ad.domain.com
        }
  2. If the user certificates do not contain a certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution point extension, configure AD to ignore revocation errors:

    1. Save the following REG-formatted content in a plain text file and import it to the Windows registry:

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
      
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc]
      "UseCachedCRLOnlyAndIgnoreRevocationUnknownErrors"=dword:00000001
      
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\Kerberos\Parameters]
      "UseCachedCRLOnlyAndIgnoreRevocationUnknownErrors"=dword:00000001

      Alternatively, you can set the values manually by using the regedit.exe application.

    2. Reboot the Windows system to apply the changes.
  3. Authenticate by using the kinit utility on an Identity Management client. Specify the Active Directory user with the user name and domain name:

    $ kinit -X X509_user_identity='PKCS11:opensc-pkcs11.so' ad_user@AD.DOMAIN.COM

    The -X option specifies the opensc-pkcs11.so module as the pre-authentication attribute.
