Using a provided username, password, and domain name, how can I retrieve a boolean value indicating if a user has successfully authenticated with a primary domain controller? Authentication should be performed using the Kerberos protocol for windows domain controllers. Thanks in advance, Dan
There's a free implementation of a windows-only JAAS login module and of an SSO Negotiate (Kerberos/NTLM) authenticator: Waffle.
You need to either write your own or use third party Authentication Module for that. When I was doing this, there was nothing available from JDK, so I used this tool. Note that it's GPL, but you can learn from there. You will have to create conf. file describing your authentication module and feed it into your JVM with java.security.auth.login.config property (e.g. using -D, or either way). In case of Tagish it looks something like this:
NTLogin
{
com.tagish.auth.win32.NTSystemLogin required returnNames=true returnSIDs=false defaultDomain="domain";
};
Another thing you will need is to specify kerberos configuration file via java.security.krb5.conf property. I don't have the details of this file handy, but you can easily find it on the net -- google about for krb5.conf. Settings in this file will have to match your windows domain and other windows specific settings.
It's a bit tricky to configure, but for me it worked very well, pretty robust.

I'm using CKAN with Apache and an SSO system called Cosign. Cosign works as an authenticator in Apache and ends up setting REMOTE_USER before the python code fires up. What I'm trying to do is use LDAP user lookup based on that preset REMOTE_USER. Can I do that with the CKAN ldap plugin (http://extensions.ckan.org/extension/ldap/)? Any advice greatly appreciated - I'm a Python and CKAN novice.
The short answer is that ckanext-ldap doesn't do that. What it does is provide a custom login form (username and password) that authenticates the credentials via LDAP. It then creates a session for the corresponding CKAN user, creating a user account first if required. Having it do anything else would require customisation of the extension although there are a number of options documented in its readme that alter the behaviour in small ways.
Whether ckanext-ldap would be a suitable extension to build upon to achieve what you want depends on what you want to do, which isn't clear from your question.
I'm writing my first Symfony app and and I need authenticate users over LDAP/AD, but I run out of documentation...
I found many solutions for use LdapClient, but it tagged as deprecated. So, i check for use the new one Ldap class as recommended, but I not found documentation for use it. The documentation of Ldap component for the current version (3.1) suggest to use LdapClient yet! It isn't updated yet?
I don't know how to do: must we create an adapter for add a Ldap service? If so, how to proceed?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
Check out this cookbook article for configuring LDAP authentication using the builtin Symfony component:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/security/ldap.html
I also have a bundle I maintain that includes LDAP authentication that works well with AD called LdapToolsBundle. It has documentation on the main page for the app/config/config.yml entries needed to configure your domain for use in the bundle, and also some details on configuring authentication in app/config/security.yml here.
The bundle above provides a LDAP service called ldap_tools.ldap_manager that can be used to query/create/modify different types AD objects.
take a look at my Blog:
https://alvinbunk.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/symfony-ad-integration/
This requires FOSUserBundle and FR3DLdapBundle, but I think if you go through all that documentation you should be able to get LDAP/AD integration with Symfony3 working.

Below is a second easier solution:

I am working on SOS Berlin JobScheduler but unable to find a way to enable access control on the Dashboard,Object Editor or JobScheduler's Browser UI.
Is there a way to enable the same so that JobScheduler asks for authentication details when a user hits http://hostnameofjobscheduler:port ?
I refered SOS Security Server from the below link:
http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/sossecure.pdf
Information about authentication with
the Browser UI (JOC) is provided with the article How to configure JOC for HTTP authentication.
the Dashboard (JID) is provided by the document that you are referring to. Are you missing something?
the Object Editor (JOE) is not provided. The Apache Shiro interface (as used by JID) will be used starting from release 1.10. As a workaround to restrict user access you could use file permissions or use the built-in FTP/SFTP client for user based authentication or public/private key based authentication.
What is the best way to customize ADFS to use a specific, configurable home realm if one was not provided?
My current method is to perform an HTTP redirect from the ADFS WebForms aspx file, but that seems a bit hackish.
I don't want my Relying Parties to be concerned with the home realms.
I think that a good approach would be to add a few lines within the ADFS HomeRealmDiscovery page in order to read the "DefaultHomeRealm" setting from the ADFS web.config file.
Steps
Go to C:\inetpub\adfs\ls
Open the HomeRealmDiscovery.aspx.cs
In the Page_Init method, add something like:
if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DefaultHomeRealm"] != null)
{
SelectHomeRealm(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DefaultHomeRealm"]);
}
Open the web.config file
On the appSettings section, add:
add key="DefaultHomeRealm" value="Default ADFS Federation Service Identifier"
Do not forget to replace the service URI that you want to be defaulted.
For more information you can check:
SelectHomeRealm method
ADFS pages customization
I have successfully used this approach.
I hope it helps :)

Our requirement is to have email id as the username for the login. We used the blogger post found at this link. We built the business logic in the customauthenticator class file, and just deployed the BE authentication piece. We used the dropins folder as suggested and modified the authenitcators.xml file in the conf/advanced directory.
We tried with both disabled=true and disabled=false, and lower and higher priorities. There was simply no change. It didn't appear that the jar file was being picked up. Is there any other configuration that we are missing in order to get the custom authentication activated? Any pointers will be helpful.
You do not have to write a custom authenticator for your requirement.
If you enable JDBCUserStoreManager in user-mgt.xml and make the following property to true, then email id will be used as username.
Property name="IsEmailUserName"
