#2728 [RFE] Support KDC proxying of trusted domain operations to IPA master
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 8 years ago by abbra.

With FreeIPA 4.2 a support of KDC proxy was added. This allows to proxy requests to KDCs not directly accessible by SSSD clients.

Since use of KDC proxy requires explicit configuration at a client side, and given that for trusted AD domains there is no information about trusted realms until the trust is established, it would be good to add a support of dynamically generating the configuration for proxying requests to these KDCs via IPA masters based on run time discovery done by SSSD.

SSSD already discovers list of trusted domains when using IPA id_provider and writes down a set of krb5.conf configurations. If IPA master SSSD talks to would show it has KDC proxy enabled, and configuration of IPA master allows to proxy to AD DCs, SSSD would then write down realm stanzas for these AD domains by pointing their KDCs to IPA master's proxy.

This is useful for cases like DMZ deployment where only IPA masters would have direct access to AD infrastructure.

Looks like we're getting more and more interest in this use-case, bumping.

priority: major => critical

This would be nice-to-have for 1.14, but we have a number of high-priority tickets already.

milestone: SSSD 1.14 beta => SSSD 1.14 backlog

Since the 1.14 branch is transitioning into maintenance mode and new functionality is being developed in master which will become 1.15 eventually, I'm mass-moving tickets from the 1.14 backlog milestone to the "Future releases" milestone.

Thank you for taking time to submit this request for SSSD. Unfortunately this issue was not given priority and the team lacks the capacity to work on it at this time.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request I am closing the issue as wontfix.

If the issue still persist on recent SSSD you can request re-consideration of this decision by reopening this issue. Please provide additional technical details about its importance to you.

Thank you for understanding.
