Description

This test case is to validates a secure NFSv4 root setup by running the connectathon test suite. This test requires at least 3 systems in the same domain. The first one is a Key Distribution Server (KDC) server, the second one is a NFS server, and the third one is a NFS client.

How to test

First, configure the KDC server. You can use the pre-configured one for the event. If you want to setup your own KDC server, please consult Kerberos_KDC_Quickstart_Guide.
Next, configure the NFS client. If you have not already done so, install krb5-libs and ntp first.
```
 yum install krb5-libs krb5-workstation ntp
```
Configure the NFS client to sync time using NTP to sync the clock for later kerberos communications.
```
 service ntpd restart
```

Backup the original krb5.conf, and use the the following krb5.conf for the pre-configured KDC server or adjust to use your own.

[logging]
 default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
 kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
 admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

[libdefaults]
 default_realm = FEDORAPROJECT.ORG
 dns_lookup_realm = false
 dns_lookup_kdc = false
 ticket_lifetime = 24h
 renew_lifetime = 7d
 forwardable = yes

[realms]
 FEDORAPROJECT.ORG = {
  kdc = kerberos1.fedoraproject.org:88
  admin_server = kerberos1.fedoraproject.org:749
 }

[domain_realm]
 .fedoraproject.org = FEDORAPROJECT.ORG
 fedoraproject.org = FEDORAPROJECT.ORG

Now, use kadmin to create the server principal - password is "testday" for the pre-configured KDC server.
```
 kadmin root/admin
```
If it returned a similar error like this, it is likely you will need to fix your system time to be actual.
```
 kadmin: GSS-API (or Kerberos) error while initializing kadmin interface
```

Continue...

 kadmin: addprinc -randkey nfs/<NFS client hostname>
 kadmin: ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal -k /tmp/keytab nfs/<NFS client hostname>
 kadmin: quit
 cp /etc/krb5.keytab /etc/krb5.keytab.orig
 cp /tmp/keytab /etc/krb5.keytab

Change /etc/sysconfig/nfs to uncomment or add the following line.
```
 SECURE_NFS="yes"
```
Now, restart rpcgssd service.
```
 service rpcgssd restart
```

If the above failed, check the file /var/log/messages for the presence of a failure similar to the following.

 ERROR: GSS-API: error in gss_acquire_cred(): Unspecified GSS failure. Minor
   code may provide more information - Key table entry not found 
 unable to obtain root (machine) credentials
 do you have a keytab entry for nfs/your.host@YOUR.REALM in /etc/krb5.keytab?

If you find a similar failure in /var/log/messages, it is likely due to incorrect reserve DNS lookup to a loopback address. Look at /etc/hosts, if it has something like this,
```
 127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 <NFS client FQDN>
 ::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 <NFS client FQDN>
```
Remove the above <NFS client FQDN> from the line, and restart the daemon again. Then, configure the NFS server to find the KDC server.
If you have not already done so, install krb5-libs first.
```
 yum -y install krb5-libs 
```
Configure the NFS server to sync time using NTP to sync the clock for later kerberos communications.
```
 service ntpd restart
```
Backup the original krb5.conf, and use the same krb5.conf as the above.

Now, use kadmin to create the server principal - password is "testday" for the pre-configured KDC server.

 kadmin root/admin
 kadmin: addprinc -randkey nfs/<NFS server hostname>
 kadmin: ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal -k /tmp/keytab nfs/<NFS server hostname>
 kadmin: quit
 cp /etc/krb5.keytab /etc/krb5.keytab.orig
 cp /tmp/keytab /etc/krb5.keytab

Change /etc/sysconfig/nfs to uncomment or add the following line.
```
 SECURE_NFS="yes"
```

Next, create an NFS export and restart NFS daemon.

 cp /etc/exports /etc/exports.orig
 echo '/nfs *(sec=sys:krb5:krb5i:krb5p,rw)' >/etc/exports
 mkdir /nfs
 service rpcsvcgssd restart
 service nfs restart

Create test tree structure on the server.

 git clone git://fedorapeople.org/~steved/cthon04
 cd cthon04
 ./runcthon --mkdirs /nfs
 chmod 777 -R /nfs

Make sure the server's firewall allow kerberos communication, or turn of the firewall temporarily.
```
iptables -F
```
Finally, start the test from the client.

Setup the connectathon testsuite from client by root.

 git clone git://fedorapeople.org/~steved/cthon04
 cd cthon04
 make
 mkdir /mnt
 chmod 777 /mnt

Run the testsuite by root.

 ./runcthon --server <NFS server IP> --serverdir /nfs --onlyv4 --onlykrb5

Save the output from the tests to TESTOUT.log, copy /var/log/messages from both the server and client, and then tar and compress them together with /tmp/nfs*.error if any to upload it to the wiki. Please include a link to the uploaded file in your test day results.
```
 mkdir log
 scp root@<server hostname>:/var/log/messages messages.server
 cp TESTOUT.log messages.server /var/log/messages /tmp/nfs*.error log/
 tar czvf /tmp/nfs_connectathon-results-<fedora user name>.tgz log/
```

Expected Results

Step #1 completes without error.
The testsuite finishes without error; no nfs*.error files in /tmp.
Step #3 completes without error.
