Merging FreeIPA and Tripleo Undercloud Apache installs

My Experiment yesterday left me with a broken IPA install. I aim to fix that.

To get to the start state:

From my laptop, kick off a Tripleo Quickstart, stopping prior to undercloud deployment:

./quickstart.sh --teardown all -t  untagged,provision,environment,undercloud-scripts  ayoung-dell-t1700.test

SSH in to the machine …

ssh -F /home/ayoung/.quickstart/ssh.config.ansible undercloud

and set up FreeIPA;

$ cat install-ipa.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname --static undercloud.ayoung-dell-t1700.test
export address=`ip -4 addr  show eth0 primary | awk '/inet/ {sub ("/24" ,"" , $2) ; print $2}'`
echo $address `hostname` | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
sudo yum -y install ipa-server-dns
export P=FreIPA4All
sudo ipa-server-install -U -r `hostname -d|tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]"` -p $P -a $P --setup-dns `awk '/^name/ {print "--forwarder",$2}' /etc/resolv.conf`

Backup the HTTPD config directory:

 sudo cp -a /etc/httpd/ /root

Now go continue the undercloud install

./undercloud-install.sh 

Once that is done, the undercloud passes a sanity check. Doing a diff between the two directories shows a lot of differences.

sudo diff -r /root/httpd  /etc/httpd/

All of the files in /etc/httpd/conf.d that were placed by the IPA install are gone, as are the following module files in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d

Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 00-base.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 00-dav.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 00-lua.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 00-mpm.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 00-proxy.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 00-systemd.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 01-cgi.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 10-auth_gssapi.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 10-nss.conf
Only in /root/httpd/conf.modules.d: 10-wsgi.conf

TO start, I am going to backup the existing HTTPD directory :

 sudo cp -a /etc/httpd/ /home/stack/

Te rest of this is easier to do as root, as I want some globbing. First, I’ll copy over the module config files

 sudo su
 cp /root/httpd/conf.modules.d/* /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/
 systemctl restart httpd.service

Test Keystone

 . ./stackrc 
 openstack token issue

Get a token…good to go…ok, lets try toe conf.d files.

sudo cp /root/httpd/conf.d/* /etc/httpd/conf.d/
systemctl restart httpd.service

Then as a non admin user

$ kinit admin
Password for admin@AYOUNG-DELL-T1700.TEST: 
[stack@undercloud ~]$ ipa user-find
--------------
1 user matched

  User login: admin
  Last name: Administrator
  Home directory: /home/admin
  Login shell: /bin/bash
  UID: 776400000
  GID: 776400000
  Account disabled: False
  Password: True
  Kerberos keys available: True
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1

This is a fragile deployment, as updating either FreeIPA or the Undercloud has the potential to break one or the other…or both. But it is a start.
