#5765 [RFE] Web UI: allow Federated authentication
Closed: wontfix 3 years ago by pcech. Opened 8 years ago by pvoborni.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1317377

Description of problem:
IdM Web UI in RHEL-7.2 or older only allows Kerberos or Password
authentication. The Web UI capabilities should be extended to also allow
Federated authentication, targeting especially Cloud environments or FreeIPA
running out of corporate internal network, where Kerberos is not allowed.

This change means changing current Web UI authentication architecture, which
does a kinit internally, when a password is passed. This cannot be done with
the Federation as Web UI does not have access to any Kerberos material.

User Story:
As an User with an account in a corporate Identity Management (IdM, AD)
solution and with IdP exposed to outer world, I want to authenticate with my
federated account to IdM Server in a Cloud, so that I can setup my SSH Public
Key used for authentication to Cloud Virtual Machines.

4.4.0 was released, moving open tickets to 4.4.1

Moving to next major version. Fixing this bug is not critical in stabilization release.

Base for Federated authenticate landed in 4.5 with privilege separation patches. Currently a configuration is missing. It could be probably added manually, but the core config API and user UI and allowing it in Web UI login page will not happen in 4.5
