🦀 Kanidm Provisioning Tool

This is a tiny helper utility that uses kanidm's API to provision users, groups and oauth2 systems. This tool is needed to allow declarative provisioning of kanidm in NixOS, but can be used on any other system as well. This tool is not affiliated with kanidm itself. Use at your own discretion.

Two optional patches are provided for kanidm that allow you to:

• provision oauth2 basic secrets
• use a specific password when recovering admin account credentials.

Currently this tool supports the following provisioning operations which should suffice for basic SSO and OIDC needs. PRs are of course welcome!

	Provisioning Feature
👪	Groups
✅	Create/delete
✅	Members
❌	Unix attributes
🧑	Persons
✅	Create/delete
✅	Attributes (displayname, legalname, mail)
❌	Credentials
❌	SSH
❌	Unix attributes
❌	Radius
🌐	Oauth2
✅	Create/delete (basic, public)
✅	Attributes (origin url, origin landing, pkce enable, prefer short username)
✅*	Basic secret
✅	Scope maps
✅	Supplementary scope maps
✅	Claim maps

(*): Requires patch, see below.

Usage

Build the utility simply by running:

> cargo build

Afterwards you can apply a state file to your kanidm instance by executing:

KANIDM_PROVISION_IDM_ADMIN_TOKEN="your-idm-admin-token" \
  kanidm-provision --url 'https://auth.example.com' --state state.json

Orphan removal

This tool automatically adds all created entities to a tracking group so whenever something is removed from the state file in the future, the change can be reflected in kanidm automatically.

To prevent this kind of orphan removal, you can to pass --no-auto-remove. Removing for example a group from the state file will then not cause any changes in kanidm, unless the state file explicitly specifies present: false.

This automatic tracking does not work for oauth2 claim maps, since claim maps are not a separate entity in kanidm. To work around that, each oauth2 resource server has a removeOrphanedClaimMaps option that will delete any claim maps on the resource server that haven't been created by this tool. --no-auto-remove has no effect on that option.

Provisioning oauth2 basic secrets

This tool is able to provision basic secrets if you build kanidm with the patch provided in ./patches. This adds a new endpoint that allows modifying the basic secret of any oauth2 resource server via a new API endpoint, instead of only allowing to read the value generated by kanidm.

Caution

You need to reset your kanidm database after applying this change, otherwise the access control profile will not be updated and any call to the new endpoint will fail!

Provisioning (idm_)admin credentials

The second provided patch is a standalone kanidm patch that adds the ability to specify a password when recovering account credentials. Useful to provision the idm_admin password and avoid dynamic state that needs to be known to run the provisioning tool.

KANIDM_RECOVER_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD=V3kACDdwPjYUgYuLdlRfBqeBWf3TyJmv9h0f6CP3E3dv2B4S \
  kanidmd recover-account idm_admin --from-environment >/dev/null
