join active directory using fog on ubuntu /linux

Joe Schmitt

@justeverything If you install the FOG client on your linux image, you can use snapins to run a bash script that joins a machine to your domain (snapins automatically get deployed when a host is imaged).

justeverything

I will try that and write back if I have any issues. Thanks!

edit: I have configured a snapin pack (joindomain.sh and my keytab file) and specified the path to the executable. so far it looks quite good, but now I have another problem - my fog client on the client system (ubuntu 16.04) always starts as active (exited). restarting the service does not help changing this. because of that my snapins won’t work porperly. any ideas on this?

this is my log file of the client installation:

here is the output of service FOGService status:

I installed the client according to the manual for “Debian 8+, Ubuntu 13.10+, and derivatives” from https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client without noticing any error.

any ideas?

Joe Schmitt

@justeverything it seems you have a foguser on the machine? The client must be installed and run as root, and root only.

The issue according to the logs is that the installer was unable to pin the needed certificates (these are used for the security model). It would also be helpful to know what version of mono you are running.

justeverything

I used the following commands:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install xprintidle
sudo mono SmartInstaller.exe

So you said I should try installing the client not using sudo … but changing to root before using the commands? So at least do the mono thing as root?

Joe Schmitt

@justeverything it should be fine the way you did it. What’s the mono version installed? Run mono --version.

justeverything

@Joe-Schmitt I’m running mono version 4.8.0 (Stable 4.8.0.495/e4a3cf3 Web Feb 22 18:30:58 UTC 2017) so my version is better than the required version of 4.2.x.

Joe Schmitt

@justeverything so this is definitely a dependency issue here. Either there’s a bug in the recent builds of mono with Ubuntu 16, or some service is blocking the certificate pinning on this machine.

Could you try: removing the service, setting SELinux to permissive, and re-installing?

If that doesn’t work, goahead and re-enable SELinux, and try an older mono build (perhaps using the stock mono build provided in ubuntu repositories).

justeverything

@Joe-Schmitt I could need a little help on that. How do I set SELinux to permissive?

I removing the FOGService and installing it again doesn’t help.

edit: I checked an my selinux is set to diabled?

Joe Schmitt

@justeverything you can run this command: sudo setenforce 0 to temporarily set SELinux to permissive. After done testing with it, run sudo setenforce 1 to set to back to enforcing.

justeverything

@Joe-Schmitt if I try those commands it always says SELinux is disabled.

Joe Schmitt

@justeverything alright, can you test the older mono build then? So `

sudo apt-get remove --purge mono-complete
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete

And then re-test installation. (Also re-run the version command and report which one is now installed)

justeverything

@Joe-Schmitt I also had to run a sudo apt-get autoremove because of some error codes related to different mono versions. Now it is installing mono version 4.2.1.

mono --version output: Mono JIT compiler version 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-7ubuntu4)

after rerunning the SmartInstaller.exe with mono I still have FOGService active (exited)

Joe Schmitt

@justeverything active (exited) is fine, that’s just how the client wraps itself around the various linux service controllers. Whats; more important now is the log file.

justeverything

@Joe-Schmitt the installation logfile “SmartInstaller.log” says:

@justeverything thats good. That means certificate pinning worked. Simply go to the host in the web portal and hit “Reset Encryption Data” and it should work fine now.

It would seem your issue was with recent builds of mono.

justeverything

@Joe-Schmitt I will try it. If it works now you are my new personal god!

I will also post my solution to joining ubuntu to the active directory with the snapin / bash file / keytab if it works all properly in the next days. I hope this will help other users until there is a solution directly via fog for linux.

@Joe-Schmitt snapins now work perfectly! thanks a lot!

Now i just have to do some settings on my custom snapin - but I will do this tomorrow, its already late here in germany. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

justeverything

well, I have to ask another question - My Snapin does not work correctly. If I start it manually on the host pc, everything works fine. but If i run it with the fog client, it does not work. the snapin history of the client says:

joindomain	2017-03-15 10:22:44	Complete	30 seconds	0

so no error code. that’s fine I guess. I read in your wiki, that the script is run by the user root or SYSTEM and that there may be some issues with the security, but I really can’t find out where or what the issues could be.

here are my snapin settings:
Name joindomain
Type Snapin Pack
Pack Template - please select an option -
Pack File /bin/bash
Pack Arguments “[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]/joindomain.sh”
Reboot after install checked
Snapin enabled checked
Replicate? checked
Timeout after 600 seconds
Snapin Command /bin/bash “[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]/joindomain.sh”

the fog client log says the following -
so also everything seems to be fine. what else can I consider?

@justeverything at this point it’s a matter of debugging the script. Personally I’d have it use a log file somewhere (keep in mind it runs as root, so you can place it anywhere outside of the client tmp dir). Start with basic stuff like logging on script start, just to make sure it’s actually getting run.

@Joe-Schmitt thank you I finally found a little mistake that crashed everything, so now it runs perfectly. this can be marked as solved. thanks again for all your help!
