The step described here (
http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/sso.html)
are exactly the steps I do to configure FreeIPA to SSO with kerberos.
If I create a kerberos ticket with "kinit admin", when I go to
http://ipasrv/ipa/ui with firefox from my desktop (ipa client), I am logged
in without username/password.
But when I go to
http://ipasrv:9090 with firefox (cockpit is installed on
the ipa server), cockpit asks me for a username and password.
And I log in as root.
On the ipa server, I can run
$ getent passwd smith(a)example.com
smith:*:1002:1025:John Smith:/home/smith:/bin/bash
$ host -t SRV
_kerberos._udp.example.com
_kerberos._udp.example.com has SRV record 0 100 88
zaira.example.com.
On my desktop, firefox is configured like this:
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris user set string .example.com
So I must be missing something.
