I am going to use Rundeck in production.
While reading docs, I found that users management is based on local ACL files.
And AD authentication is available.
My question is: Is it possible to manage users access to Jobs and Nodes by AD groups?
Fox example:
AD groups: rundeck_restrat_svcName1, rundeck_restrat_svcName2, ect..
Thanks for any information.
Yes.. You can do that.
1, Create a jaas configuration file for AD, say jaas-AD.conf at /etc/rundeck folder like this
2, Modify the profile file's two lines.
export RDECK_JVM="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/etc/rundeck/jaas-AD.conf
-Dloginmodule.name=activedirectory
3,In AD create a new group, say rundeck_users and create an .aclpolicy file to set the ACL. There you have to use group as rundeck_users. You can create .aclpolicy file yml frame by rd-acl binary

We can create objects like Users and Groups via LDAP.
The question is how to create keytab file using LDAP?
I need somehow to run the following command and obtain the ffs.keytab file using LDAP.
ktpass -princ HTTP/xyzid.xzu.io#DC.YOURADDOMAIN.LINK -mapuser
ffs#DC.YOURADDOMAIN.LINK -crypto ALL -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -pass
+rndPass -out c:\ffs.keytab
What do you think about Kerberos.NET? This library contains several features for integrate LDAP with dot net core applications, include create keytab files. Here have one thread commented by Steve Syfuhs, principal contributor of this library.
LDAP is a protocol to access the directory but it cannot be used to run some command on the server. So the answer for your question is you cannot create keytab using LDAP
For better understanding the use of Kerberos and LDAP, check the below link

You can create objects like users and groups using LDAP because it was the actual purpose for LDAP designed to access the directory and make the changes within the directory whereas keytab is mainly used for authentication and getting auth ticket without the need for password.
If you could explain the purpose for your requirement, some may have solution for you in different way but not using LDAP.
We have an application where we store users login name in the format domain\username. We authenticate via windows and then get additional info from our database by matching the domain\username we get from the user to our database.
Now they want to move to the cloud. We authenticate users via apps in Azure AD. However, the user identifier we get back is first.last#domain.com.
I have fiddled around with https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/email and the select command to try and get the 'old' name. Howev,er I have not yet found out how to get it.
The reason they move to the cloud is that they are merging two ADs. So some users will be DomainA and some DomainB, but in the same tenant. So my first thought was to try and convert the mail to the other format. However, the two different ADs have different naming standards. One has DOMAINA\fila (two first letters from the first name and two first letters from the last name) and the other one has DOMAINB\firlas. Also it feels really ugly to try and solve it that way.
Is it possible to fetch the users loginname formatted as domain\username via Microsoft Graph?
Using the beta edition of Graph, you can obtain the user's domain and username from the onPremisesDomainName and onPremisesSamAccountName properties:
/beta/users?$select=userPrincipalName,onPremisesDomainName,onPremisesSamAccountName
The domain is stored as a FQDN so you'll need to do some translation. For example, domainName.ad.contoso.com might translate to domainName\).
This will give you a workaround so you can match up users with your internal databases. It is however only a temporary solution. Long-term, you really want to migrate to using the userPrincipalName. This is the primary user identifier and guaranteed to be unique within a given tenant.
Azure AD is a little different than the legacy Active Directory. Certain concepts from legacy AD such as Organizational Units (OUs), Group Policy Objects (GPOs), Kerberos Authentication, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Domain trusts between multiple domains, and several others simply do not exist in the cloud.
I am working with School Data Sync(SDS) and Azure Active Directory with Microsoft Graph API with a custom Web App that is being developed.
I require read and write to the SDS objects (class, school etc) created by a SDS sync profile.
Reading https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/beta/api/educationroot_list_schools
and related documentation - I can potentially achieve the above.
Yet the required permissions (
EduRoster.Read.All, EduRoster.ReadWrite.All
)
are not available to be set in the Active Directory Portal (using application > Settings > Required Permissions > Microsoft Graph)
How can I perhaps set the required permissions, perhaps by some other means or through the portal, for my app?
The documentation you posted is right. The documentation shows Permissions's Name directly. Acutally, if you use v2 endpoint application in Microsoft App Registration Portal to choose permissions, you will see these permissions directly.
For this case, the permissions you saw in the Azure portal is the permission's Display String.
For Example:
Application permissions: EduRoster.ReadWrite.All 's Display string is Read and write the organization's roster.
So, you can add these permissions for your scenario:
You can see details about Microsoft Graph Permissions Reference in this documentation.
In our SonarQube 5.4 we authenticate in Active Directory using LDAP plugin and specifying just one property in sonar.properties:
sonar.security.realm=LDAP
(according to http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Microsoft+Active+Directory)
It's a shame they removed the feature to disable updating user properties on every login:
sonar.security.updateUserAttributes = false
See this:
https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-7219
We've been using it, as update on every login removes assignment of users to SonarQube built-in groups, e.g. sonar-administrators.
I can give individual users whatever rights in Administration > Security > Global Permissions, but I'd prefer to do this for SonarQube groups, as we have lots of users.
Reflecting the whole setup of groups in AD is difficult, as our Infrastructure teams are too slow and bureaucratic
Is there any other way to achieve what we want?
UPDATE
I've tried configuring empty values for group properties:
ldap.group.baseDn=
ldap.group.request=
ldap.group.idAttribute=
But it doesn't help - every login group membership is resynchronized again from AD and membership in internal SQ groups is removed.
In order to disable group synchronisation from LDAP, you can simply remove properties ldap.group.*.
See "Group Mapping" http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/LDAP+Plugin.

I can check user in active directory, if he exist then I give him permission to open app window, but what if an application has many levels of permission? Do I create special groups of permission in active direcotry and check if user belongs to one of them? . Can application log in automaticaly, or there is always need to enter password?
Active Directory can fulfill two related but seperate functions for an application: Authorization and Authentication.
Authentication is validating that the person using your application is a valid user. If you have the user's credentials (i.e. the application prompts the user for their username and password), you can authenticate them against AD by attempting a connection using their username/password.
Authorization is what lets you determine the level of permissions a particular user has in your application. Active Directory groups are a relatively straightforward and flexible way to implement the various permissions levels. Typically, I will create very fine-grained permissions groups that represent each securable action users can perform in the application (i.e. CanDeleteWidgets, CanAddWidgets, CanEditWidgets ). Then create functional or role groups where you place the users for that role (i.e. Managers, Coordinators, Technicians, etc). Finally, you just nest the role groups into the permissions groups so if, for example, the business requirement is that Managers can delete widgets, you would add the Managers group as a member of the CanDeleteWidgets group. While this may seem more complex, it makes it extremely simple to respond to changing business security requirements (i.e. "Technicians need to be able to delete widgets" - Piece of cake. Add the Technicians role group to the CanDeleteWidgets permissions group and you're done).
As far as logging in automatically, yes, there are a number of ways you can automatically log in a user. For winforms apps, you should just be able to grab the currently logged in user and use that. For web apps, if you can use integrated authentication, you end up with the same thing. Your web server will handle the authentication piece and send over the DOMAIN\USERNAME of the user in a server header variable.
