I've been looking at what we can get away with (i.e. what must be configured and what doesn't have to) for client terminals (PCs, laptops, etc) to connect to a Moonshot infrastructure.
Clients wanting to use SSH:
- Must have moonshot-gss-eap and dependents installed
- Must have /etc/gss/mech configured (Can we possibly get this file created/installed as part of the moonshot-gss-eap RPM?)
- Must have ssh_config configured with GSSAPIAuthentication and GSSAPIKeyExchange set to yes (as per instructions)
- Do *not* require radsec.conf configuration (authentication occurs at the remote SSH host)
- Do *not* require a ssh client to be Moonshot-modified (i.e. a special Moonshot openssh-clients package)
For GNOME2 and console login (i.e. using pam_gss)
- Must have moonshot-gss-eap and dependents installed and configured
- Must have radsec.conf configured (authentication occurs locally, security implication is the RADIUS secret)
- Securing radsec.conf with "chmod 600" is sufficient for services that require it to continue functioning
