PowerBroker Identity Services Open

PowerBroker Identity Services Open has several goals:

Simplify the process of joining non-Microsoft hosts to Active Directory domains.
Simplify the management of these hosts.
Provide a rich development platform for writing applications in heterogeneous networks.

Instructions on building pbis-open

The pbis-open build uses makekit (http://bkoropoff.github.io/makekit/) While the code is portable among a variety of *nix based platforms (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and OS X), this build system is primarily intended for Linux & FreeBSD platforms.

Before you begin, please read over this list of prerequisite development packages (depending on your Linux distro):

RedHat/Fedora - gcc, glibc-devel, pam-devel, ncurses-devel, flex, bison, rpm-build, rpm-devel, popt-devel, libxml2-devel, autoconf, automake, libtool Optional packages:
- libglade2-devel - To build domainjoin-gui GTK application
- 32bit development tools and libraries for compatibility packages when building on x86_64
  - glibc-devel.i686, libgcc.i686, pam-devel.i686
Ubuntu - build-essential, fakeroot, devscripts, debhelper, autoconf, automake, libtool, libncurses5-dev, flex, bison, libpam0g-dev, libxml2-dev, libpopt-dev Optional packages:
- libglade2-dev - To build domainjoin-gui GTK application
- 32bit development tools and libraries for compatibility packages when building on x86_64
  - ia32-libs, libc6-dev-i386, gcc-multilib

Note: The default version of awk on some Ubuntu systems has a known bug which causes it to segfault when attempting to build. You can work around this by installing GNU awk:

sudo apt-get install gawk

See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mawk/+bug/23494 for details

The easiest way to begin a build is to run:

$ mkdir debug && cd debug
$ ../configure --debug
$ make -jXX package  ## where XX is 2x CPU cores

This will build the necessary binaries and libraries and package them up into DEBs or RPMs in the pbis-open/debug/package/ directory.

If you do not want to install using packages, you can do the following instead, but be sure to read the note below:

$ make -jXX
$ sudo make install

You may view the complete set of configure options by running

$ ../configure --help

To generate a release tarball, run "build/mkdist" with pbis-open as your working directory.

Note: When not installing using the local package managers (DEB or RPM), you will need to start lwsmd and import registry files manually:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/lwsmd start
$ sudo bash -c 'for file in /opt/pbis/share/config/*.reg; do \
  /opt/pbis/bin/regshell import $file; \
  done'
$ sudo /etc/init.d/lwsmd reload

PBIS Registry Service

The PBIS Registry Service (lwregd) is the configuration data store used by all PBIS services. You can view and modify the registry settings by running /opt/pbis/bin/lwregshell as the root user. For example:

$ sudo /opt/pbis/bin/lwregshell
> cd hkey_this_machine\\services

hkey_this_machine\services> dir
[hkey_this_machine\services]
[HKEY_THIS_MACHINE\Services\lsass]
...

hkey_this_machine\services> cd lsass

hkey_this_machine\services\lsass> dir
Arguments    REG_SZ   "lsassd --syslog"
Dependencies REG_SZ   "netlogon lwio lwreg rdr"
Description  REG_SZ    "PBIS Security and Authentication Subsystem"
Path         REG_SZ    "/opt/pbis/sbin/lsassd"
Type         REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

[HKEY_THIS_MACHINE\Services\lsass\Parameters]

PBIS Service Manager

The PBIS Service Manager (lwsmd) provides a service control architecture for starting and stopping all PBIS daemons and drivers based on a dependency graph.

The lwsmd daemon itself is managed using the standard SysV init script:

$ /etc/init.d/lwsmd start
* Starting PBIS Service Manager: lwsmd              [ OK ]

Only the registry service (lwregd) is hard coded to be started initially. The user space CLI for managing services is the "lwsm" utility.

$ lwsm list
lwreg       running (standalone: 19415)
dcerpc      running (standalone: 19453)
eventlog    stopped
lsass       running (standalone: 19475)
lwio        running (standalone: 19438)
rdr         running (io: 19438)

pvfs        running (io: 19438)
npfs        running (io: 19438)
netlogon    running (standalone: 19468)
