4 Understanding Active Directory and Piston OpenStack This technical support bulletin describes how to integrate the Keystone authentication service with Microsoft Active Directory. Active Directory implements Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) distributed-directory services, Kerberos authentication services, and Domain Name Service (DNS) distributed-naming services to manage objects such as users and computers in an enterprise. Integrating Keystone with Active Directory enables you to maintain user information in a single enterprise-wide repository to perform authentication and authorization of users in your Piston OpenStack cloud. Active Directory has three partitions also referred to as naming contexts in which it stores information: The domain partition contains users, groups, contacts, computers, organizational units, and other types of objects The schema partition contains classes and attribute definitions that describe the objects The configuration partition includes configuration data for services, partitions, and sites Active Directory stores objects hierarchically. Most companies, for instance, are broken up into organizational units such as Marketing, Sales, Business Development, and so on in order to group employees by their job function. Users are the entities that use the virtual machines and compute, networking, and storage services provided by a Piston OpenStack installation. Their ability to perform actions is based on permissions defined by roles. Users can be a member of multiple projects and have different roles within each. In this document users are represented by the organizationalperson object class, though other object classes can be used. Projects are high level groupings that group zero or more users and own resources such as block storage in Ceph and virtual machines in Nova. In the context of integrating Active Directory and Piston OpenStack, the groupofnames object class is used to represent projects, which are also referred to as tenants. 4

5 Roles are groupings of user or service privileges that specify the actions a user can perform in the context of the project. In this document roles are represented by the organizationalrole object class, though other object classes can be used. If you are using Active Directory you will probably have many users in your project. This document is not a comprehensive guide to implementing Active Directory, but for the purposes of the examples shown in the document you will create the objects shown in Figure 1: Active Directory Objects on page 6. 5

6 Figure 1: Active Directory Objects 6

7 Satisfying Prerequisites Important Make sure that the LDAP server does not have any of the projects or roles to be used for the Piston OpenStack cloud configured prior to successfully installing your cluster. Note that if you have to reinstall the cluster and any roles or projects exist already, the reinstallation process will fail. If you have to reinstall your cluster please contact Piston Advanced Technical Support. If you are using the hostname to connect to the Active Directory Domain Controller for LDAP then DNS must be able to resolve the hostname. You can also specify an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Entering a root domain name should also work so long as the DNS Service (SRV) records exist that direct the Keystone service to a valid Active Directory server. Do the following to determine the IP address of your Active Directory server 1. Select Start > Server Manager. 2. Select DNS. 3. The Server column displays the name of the server; the fully-qualified domain name would be that value combined with the domain name, such as: ad01.example.com 4. The IPv4 Address column displays the IP address of the server, such as: Either value can be used to configure Piston OpenStack for integration with Active Directory. Modifying the Active Directory Schema Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) is a set of Component Object Model (COM) interfaces in Active Directory that presents a single tool to manage multiple distributed resources. 7

8 In Active Directory the organizationalunit object class contains the User object class it is said to be a possible superior. This relationship is maintained through an attribute of the User object named posssuperiors, which is set to a value that contains organizationalunit as well as any other object classes that are above the User class in the relational hierarchy. In order to integrate Keystone with Active Directory the groupofnames class must be configured as a possible superior of the organizationrole class. Do the following: 1. Select Start > Administrative Tools. 2. Double-click ADSI Edit. 3. Select ADSI Edit. 4. Select Action > Connect to from the menu bar. 5. Make sure the Select a well known Naming Context radio button is enabled, then select Schema from the drop-down menu. 6. Click OK. 7. Expand Schema. 8. Select the appropriate schema. 9. Select the CN=Organizational-Role class; it should appear approximately three-quarters of the way down the list by default. 10. Select Action > Properties from the menu bar. 11. If the posssuperiors attribute is displayed, select it then click Edit; if it is not, do the following: A. Click Filter. B. Click Show only attributes that have values to de-select it. C. Select the posssuperiors attribute, then click Edit. 12. Type groupofnames in the Value to add field, then click Add. 13. Click OK to close the Multi-valued String Editor dialog. 14. Click OK to close the CN=Organizational-Role Properties dialog. 8

9 Notes Moving groupofnames objects that contain child objects such as organizationalrole objects within the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in will result in child objects not displaying properly in any Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins. Changing the schema of the organizationalrole object to enable groupofnames as a possible superior must be done before creating any groupofnames objects or else MMC snap-ins will not display them as containers and it will therefore it be impossible to add organizationalrole objects to them. 9

10 Planning Your LDAP Objects To integrate Active Directory with Piston OpenStack you must configure Piston OpenStack first as described in Configuring and Installing Piston OpenStack on page 14 and then create the users and organizational units as described in Creating Objects in Active Directory on page 21. To facilitate this process, plan the objects you will be creating. In Table 1: Environment-Specific LDAP Properties on page 10, the values in the column named Property on page 10 are configuration options you will have to provide values for during the process described in Configuring and Installing Piston OpenStack on page 14. The column named Description on page 10 describes how you will determine what values to set each property to. Record the planned value in the column named Value in Your Environment on page 10 for use in Configuring and Installing Piston OpenStack on page 14. Table 1: Environment-Specific LDAP Properties Property Description Value in Your Environment url Record here the value ldap:// followed by the name or IP address of your Active Directory Server Example: ldap://

11 Property Description Value in Your Environment bind_dn Record here the distinguished name of a user account that has the permissions required to search the appropriate Active Directory tree Example: CN=ldapadmin,CN=Users, DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM bind_password suffix Record here the password for the user specified for bind_dn on page 11 Set this to the distinguished name of the domaindns object in your Active Directory tree Example: DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM 11

12 Property Description Value in Your Environment dumb_member The member attribute of groupofnames objects is required, making it impossible to have an empty group; if any groups in the tree are empty you will need to specify a dummy member to be automatically added Record here the distinguished name of a dummy user Example: CN=dumbmember, CN=Users,DC=EXAMPLE, DC=COM user_tree_dn Record here the distinguished name of the Users container Example: CN=Users,DC=EXAMPLE, DC=COM 12

13 Property Description Value in Your Environment user_objectclass Set this to the name of the object class that represents users Example: organizationalperson inetorgperson tenant_tree_dn Record here the distinguished name of the organizationalunit object you will create to represent projects Example: OU=Projects, OU=OpenStack, DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM role_tree_dn Record here the distinguished name of the organizationalunit object you will create to represent projects Example: OU=Roles, OU=OpenStack, DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM 13

14 Configuring and Installing Piston OpenStack Configuring Piston OpenStack Edit the cloud.conf file on your Piston CloudKey so that it is configured to use Active Directory. Appendix B: Example LDAP Configuration on page 36 contains a sample section, though the structure will be different in your environment.

Installing Piston OpenStack Make sure that all of the nodes and switches in your environment are powered off, then insert the CloudKey into your Arista switch or your boot node and power them on. The CloudBoot process begins and should take between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the number of nodes in your cloud. 20

21 Creating Objects in Active Directory Have the Active Directory administrator use the Active Directory Users and Computers interface to create users for your Piston OpenStack, and use ADSI Edit to create projects and roles. If you are performing an installation of Piston OpenStack and are not familiar with the Active Directory tools, perform the instructions in the following sections: Creating Users in Active Directory on page 21 Creating Piston OpenStack Objects in ADSI Edit on page 22 Note that this document should not be used as an authoritative resource on creating objects in Active Directory; see the Microsoft Active Directory documentation. Creating Users in Active Directory Use the Active Directory Users and Computers interface to create users for your Piston OpenStack. Do the following: 1. Select the user container in the console tree that equates to the value you specified for the user_ tree_dn configuration parameter, such as the default Users container. 2.

Click Finish. 21

22 3. Select the users container again, then repeat the actions performed in step 2 to create a user that will have administrative privileges. Creating Piston OpenStack Objects in ADSI Edit Next use the ADSI Editor to create the necessary objects. Appendix A: Example LDAP Objects on page 33 contains a sample LDIF of these objects, though the structure will be different in your environment. You will create an organizationalunit object to contain all your OpenStack objects, as well as organizationalunit objects for your OpenStack projects and roles. You will also create organizationalrole objects to represent the roles of administrator and basic project member, specifying values for their cn and displayname attributes, and setting their roleoccupant attribute to the distinguishedname of the appropriate user in your Active Directory Users container. And you will create groupofnames objects for projects and roles in their respective organizationalunit objects. Do the following: 1. In ADSI Editor, select ADSI Edit. 2. Select Action > Connect to from the menu bar. 3. Make sure the Select a well known Naming Context radio button is enabled, then select Default naming context from the drop-down menu. 4. Click OK. 5.
