|
{{< toc >}}
|
|
|
|
## LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
|
|
|
|
Both the LDAP via BindDN and the simple auth LDAP share the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- Authorization Name **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- A name to assign to the new method of authorization.
|
|
|
|
- Host **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- The address where the LDAP server can be reached.
|
|
- Example: `mydomain.com`
|
|
|
|
- Port **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- The port to use when connecting to the server.
|
|
- Example: `389` for LDAP or `636` for LDAP SSL
|
|
|
|
- Enable TLS Encryption (optional)
|
|
|
|
- Whether to use TLS when connecting to the LDAP server.
|
|
|
|
- Admin Filter (optional)
|
|
|
|
- An LDAP filter specifying if a user should be given administrator
|
|
privileges. If a user account passes the filter, the user will be
|
|
privileged as an administrator.
|
|
- Example: `(objectClass=adminAccount)`
|
|
- Example for Microsoft Active Directory (AD): `(memberOf=CN=admin-group,OU=example,DC=example,DC=org)`
|
|
|
|
- Username attribute (optional)
|
|
|
|
- The attribute of the user's LDAP record containing the user name. Given
|
|
attribute value will be used for new Gitea account user name after first
|
|
successful sign-in. Leave empty to use login name given on sign-in form.
|
|
- This is useful when supplied login name is matched against multiple
|
|
attributes, but only single specific attribute should be used for Gitea
|
|
account name, see "User Filter".
|
|
- Example: `uid`
|
|
- Example for Microsoft Active Directory (AD): `sAMAccountName`
|
|
|
|
- First name attribute (optional)
|
|
|
|
- The attribute of the user's LDAP record containing the user's first name.
|
|
This will be used to populate their account information.
|
|
- Example: `givenName`
|
|
|
|
- Surname attribute (optional)
|
|
|
|
- The attribute of the user's LDAP record containing the user's surname.
|
|
This will be used to populate their account information.
|
|
- Example: `sn`
|
|
|
|
- E-mail attribute **(required)**
|
|
- The attribute of the user's LDAP record containing the user's email
|
|
address. This will be used to populate their account information.
|
|
- Example: `mail`
|
|
|
|
### LDAP via BindDN
|
|
|
|
Adds the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- Bind DN (optional)
|
|
|
|
- The DN to bind to the LDAP server with when searching for the user. This
|
|
may be left blank to perform an anonymous search.
|
|
- Example: `cn=Search,dc=mydomain,dc=com`
|
|
|
|
- Bind Password (optional)
|
|
|
|
- The password for the Bind DN specified above, if any. _Note: The password
|
|
is stored encrypted with the SECRET_KEY on the server. It is still recommended
|
|
to ensure that the Bind DN has as few privileges as possible._
|
|
|
|
- User Search Base **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- The LDAP base at which user accounts will be searched for.
|
|
- Example: `ou=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com`
|
|
|
|
- User Filter **(required)**
|
|
- An LDAP filter declaring how to find the user record that is attempting to
|
|
authenticate. The `%s` matching parameter will be substituted with login
|
|
name given on sign-in form.
|
|
- Example: `(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s))`
|
|
- Example for Microsoft Active Directory (AD): `(&(objectCategory=Person)(memberOf=CN=user-group,OU=example,DC=example,DC=org)(sAMAccountName=%s)(!(UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))`
|
|
- To substitute more than once, `%[1]s` should be used instead, e.g. when
|
|
matching supplied login name against multiple attributes such as user
|
|
identifier, email or even phone number.
|
|
- Example: `(&(objectClass=Person)(|(uid=%[1]s)(mail=%[1]s)(mobile=%[1]s)))`
|
|
- Enable user synchronization
|
|
- This option enables a periodic task that synchronizes the Gitea users with
|
|
the LDAP server. The default period is every 24 hours but that can be
|
|
changed in the app.ini file. See the _cron.sync_external_users_ section in
|
|
the [sample
|
|
app.ini](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/custom/conf/app.example.ini)
|
|
for detailed comments about that section. The _User Search Base_ and _User
|
|
Filter_ settings described above will limit which users can use Gitea and
|
|
which users will be synchronized. When initially run the task will create
|
|
all LDAP users that match the given settings so take care if working with
|
|
large Enterprise LDAP directories.
|
|
|
|
### LDAP using simple auth
|
|
|
|
Adds the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- User DN **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- A template to use as the user's DN. The `%s` matching parameter will be
|
|
substituted with login name given on sign-in form.
|
|
- Example: `cn=%s,ou=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com`
|
|
- Example: `uid=%s,ou=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com`
|
|
|
|
- User Search Base (optional)
|
|
|
|
- The LDAP base at which user accounts will be searched for.
|
|
- Example: `ou=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com`
|
|
|
|
- User Filter **(required)**
|
|
- An LDAP filter declaring when a user should be allowed to log in. The `%s`
|
|
matching parameter will be substituted with login name given on sign-in
|
|
form.
|
|
- Example: `(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%s))`
|
|
- Example: `(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s))`
|
|
|
|
### Verify group membership in LDAP
|
|
|
|
Uses the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- Group Search Base (optional)
|
|
|
|
- The LDAP DN used for groups.
|
|
- Example: `ou=group,dc=mydomain,dc=com`
|
|
|
|
- Group Name Filter (optional)
|
|
|
|
- An LDAP filter declaring how to find valid groups in the above DN.
|
|
- Example: `(|(cn=gitea_users)(cn=admins))`
|
|
|
|
- User Attribute in Group (optional)
|
|
|
|
- Which user LDAP attribute is listed in the group.
|
|
- Example: `uid`
|
|
|
|
- Group Attribute for User (optional)
|
|
- Which group LDAP attribute contains an array above user attribute names.
|
|
- Example: `memberUid`
|
|
|
|
## PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module)
|
|
|
|
To configure PAM, set the 'PAM Service Name' to a filename in `/etc/pam.d/`. To
|
|
work with normal Linux passwords, the user running Gitea must have read access
|
|
to `/etc/shadow`.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: PAM support is added via [build-time flags](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-source/#build), and the official binaries provided do not have this enabled.
|
|
|
|
## SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
|
|
|
|
This option allows Gitea to log in to an SMTP host as a Gitea user. To
|
|
configure this, set the fields below:
|
|
|
|
- Authentication Name **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- A name to assign to the new method of authorization.
|
|
|
|
- SMTP Authentication Type **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- Type of authentication to use to connect to SMTP host, PLAIN or LOGIN.
|
|
|
|
- Host **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- The address where the SMTP host can be reached.
|
|
- Example: `smtp.mydomain.com`
|
|
|
|
- Port **(required)**
|
|
|
|
- The port to use when connecting to the server.
|
|
- Example: `587`
|
|
|
|
- Allowed Domains
|
|
|
|
- Restrict what domains can log in if using a public SMTP host or SMTP host
|
|
with multiple domains.
|
|
- Example: `gitea.io,mydomain.com,mydomain2.com`
|
|
|
|
- Force SMTPS
|
|
|
|
- SMTPS will be used by default for connections to port 465, if you wish to use SMTPS
|
|
for other ports. Set this value.
|
|
- Otherwise if the server provides the `STARTTLS` extension this will be used.
|
|
|
|
- Skip TLS Verify
|
|
|
|
- Disable TLS verify on authentication.
|
|
|
|
- This Authentication Source is Activated
|
|
- Enable or disable this authentication source.
|
|
|
|
## FreeIPA
|
|
|
|
- In order to log in to Gitea using FreeIPA credentials, a bind account needs to
|
|
be created for Gitea:
|
|
|
|
- On the FreeIPA server, create a `gitea.ldif` file, replacing `dc=example,dc=com`
|
|
with your DN, and provide an appropriately secure password:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dn: uid=gitea,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com
|
|
changetype: add
|
|
objectclass: account
|
|
objectclass: simplesecurityobject
|
|
uid: gitea
|
|
userPassword: secure password
|
|
passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z
|
|
nsIdleTimeout: 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Import the LDIF (change localhost to an IPA server if needed). A prompt for
|
|
Directory Manager password will be presented:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ldapmodify -h localhost -p 389 -x -D \
|
|
"cn=Directory Manager" -W -f gitea.ldif
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Add an IPA group for gitea_users :
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ipa group-add --desc="Gitea Users" gitea_users
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Note: For errors about IPA credentials, run `kinit admin` and provide the
|
|
domain admin account password.
|
|
|
|
- Log in to Gitea as an Administrator and click on "Authentication" under Admin Panel.
|
|
Then click `Add New Source` and fill in the details, changing all where appropriate.
|
|
|
|
## SPNEGO with SSPI (Kerberos/NTLM, for Windows only)
|
|
|
|
Gitea supports SPNEGO single sign-on authentication (the scheme defined by RFC4559) for the web part of the server via the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) built in Windows. SSPI works only in Windows environments - when both the server and the clients are running Windows.
|
|
|
|
Before activating SSPI single sign-on authentication (SSO) you have to prepare your environment:
|
|
|
|
- Create a separate user account in active directory, under which the `gitea.exe` process will be running (eg. `user` under domain `domain.local`):
|
|
|
|
- Create a service principal name for the host where `gitea.exe` is running with class `HTTP`:
|
|
|
|
- Start `Command Prompt` or `PowerShell` as a privileged domain user (eg. Domain Administrator)
|
|
- Run the command below, replacing `host.domain.local` with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server where the web application will be running, and `domain\user` with the name of the account created in the previous step:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
setspn -A HTTP/host.domain.local domain\user
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Sign in (_sign out if you were already signed in_) with the user created
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that `ROOT_URL` in the `[server]` section of `custom/conf/app.ini` is the fully qualified domain name of the server where the web application will be running - the same you used when creating the service principal name (eg. `host.domain.local`)
|
|
|
|
- Start the web server (`gitea.exe web`)
|
|
|
|
- Enable SSPI authentication by adding an `SPNEGO with SSPI` authentication source in `Site Administration -> Authentication Sources`
|
|
|
|
- Sign in to a client computer in the same domain with any domain user (client computer, different from the server running `gitea.exe`)
|
|
|
|
- If you are using Chrome or Edge, add the URL of the web app to the Local intranet sites (`Internet Options -> Security -> Local intranet -> Sites`)
|
|
|
|
- Start Chrome or Edge and navigate to the FQDN URL of Gitea (eg. `http://host.domain.local:3000`)
|
|
|
|
- Click the `Sign In` button on the dashboard and choose SSPI to be automatically logged in with the same user that is currently logged on to the computer
|
|
|
|
- If it does not work, make sure that:
|
|
- You are not running the web browser on the same server where Gitea is running. You should be running the web browser on a domain joined computer (client) that is different from the server. If both the client and server are running on the same computer NTLM will be preferred over Kerberos.
|
|
- There is only one `HTTP/...` SPN for the host
|
|
- The SPN contains only the hostname, without the port
|
|
- You have added the URL of the web app to the `Local intranet zone`
|
|
- The clocks of the server and client should not differ with more than 5 minutes (depends on group policy)
|
|
- `Integrated Windows Authentication` should be enabled in Internet Explorer (under `Advanced settings`)
|
