Hello, guys,

I am running FreeIPA at home, and I can enroll clients just fine. The issue I am facing, however, is with Fedora. If I have it enrolled, I can only log in with the single user I have set in the enterprise login. No other FreeIPA user is able to log in. When you try to log in with any other account, you get the message "Sorry, password authentication didn't work, please try again," even when the password is 100% correct. I am only facing this with Fedora; Ubuntu and openSUSE work just fine, and people are, in fact, able to log in.

Additionally, when attempting to log in with a FreeIPA user, it does display the user's full name as set in FreeIPA, indicating that a connection is present.

EDIT: Figured it out. for some reason on fedora inside sssd.conf it automatically adds "simple_allow_users" and on ubuntu and opensuse it doesn't do this. Removing this single line in the config file allows other users to login.

Yep. The accounts don’t have permissions to log into the machine.

OP needs to fix the perms in FreeIPA. There are several ways todo this, and I’m not around a FreeIPA server at the moment.

I found the allow_all rule that is enabled. Mind you it is only on fedora I seem to have this issue with. Ubuntu and opensuse users can login just fine.

That doesn’t change the fix.

The accounts need to be allowed to login to the host in FreeIPA.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
