I’ve documented a clean, native way to integrate FreeBSD 15 into a FreeIPA realm. No heavy dependencies, no Python shims, just pure Kerberos (GSSAPI) and nslcd.
We get full SSH SSO, automated home directories, and centralized sudo rules using standard BSD tools. Pure, stateless, and sane.

This looks a lot more useful then what I was able to achieve with my earlier guides.
Thank You a lot for writing it and sharing it with me.

@vermaden I only used native FreeBSD primitives. Native Kerberos, nslcd (from ports/pkg) and openssh.
The only step that can't be done on BSD is the Keytab generation (that needs to be done on linux and then copied over).
It's super robust. I rolled that out on my homelab this weekend 🙂

Still great improvement IMHO.
I really waited for MIT Kerberos implementation to be placed in the FreeBSD Base System instead of Heimdal one and since it finally landed for 15.0 it starts to pay off.

@marzlberger I highly doubt that this is practical. It might be possible (manually), but there's a lot of dependencies, manual steps and required deep levels of understanding. If you'd want a similar result on FreeBSD, just using an LDAP server and MIT Kerberos would almost guranteed be the better approach.

By the way ... have You tried if your setup works with Samba? ... or with NFSv4?

@Larvitz this looks correct, almost identical to how I've done it at $corp jobs but we didn't use freeIPA
only thing missing is putting the sudo rules in LDAP too -

@vermaden NFSv4 Client with Kerberos works just fine. I just tried it and can mount shares from my kerberized NAS and it’s using the krb auth for authentication. Share mounts cleanly on BSD, uid and gid resolves cleanly, all looking fine.
Haven’t tried NFS server or samba.

@Anibyl I think the Wikipedia article can help. This one too:

Sul come, alle volte, si debba andare lontano, per poter tornare finalmente a casa. Ce lo dicono gli astronauti di Apollo 13, che lontano ci sono andati davvero...

@BrennpunktUA can I quote you and the fantastic things you found in my upcoming article about W Social? Like, embedding / linking to some of your toots?
