Shibboleth protected Gerrit installation - gerrit

I'm attempting to setup a new Gerrit installation with auth.type HTTP. Gerrit is deployed to Tomcat6 instance with apache frontend and accessible via ajp. I have success using HTTP Basis auth
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Gerrit Code Review"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/gerritpw
Require valid-user
I would like to protect Gerrit using Shibboleth:
AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
Require valid-user
Error encountered when using Shibboleth:
The HTTP server did not provide the username in the Authorization header when it forwarded the request to Gerrit Code Review.
Is it possible to set the Authorization header in this case?
Thanks

I use LDAP authentication and for Gerrit to be able to retrieve the user I added this after the Require valid-user:
Require valid-user
RequestHeader set REMOTE_USER %{REMOTE_USER}s
Hope that works for you as well.

unable to stop gerrit at version 3.2.1

I just installed gerrit 3.2.1
After I start it, i failed to open my site with bellow errors:
The HTTP server did not provide the username in the Authorization header when it forwarded the request to Gerrit Code Review.
If the HTTP server is Apache HTTPd, check the proxy configuration includes an authorization directive with the proper location, ensuring it ends with '/':
ServerName devops.adaps.corp
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
<Location /login/>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Gerrit Code Review"
Require valid-user
...
</Location>
AllowEncodedSlashes On
ProxyPass / http://.../ nodecode
So I want to stop it and check if I need to add a htpasswd file.
But... it seems unstopable.... I tried with command:
/work/devops/gerrit/bin/gerrit.sh stop
sudo /work/devops/gerrit/bin/gerrit.sh stop
I get error of :
Stopping Gerrit Code Review: start-stop-daemon: matching only on non-root pidfile /work/devops/gerrit/logs/gerrit.pid is insecure
I fixed it by manually kill the process recorded in pidfile

How to make a Rails app on Google App Engine redirect to HTTPS

I have successfully deployed my Rails app to the Google App Engine (my domain is also hosted by Google), and now I would like to redirect anyone going to my http:// address to my https:// address.
I have found the documentation to do so for a Python app here using the handlers element in the app.yaml file, and have attempted to replicate it in my own.
My app.yaml file now contains this:
handlers:
- url: /.*
script: config/application.rb
secure: always
redirect_http_response_code: 301
However I can still visit http:// without being redirected, and I think that it's because of the script: config/application.rb option that I've passed. I have no idea which file I should use or what that file should contain in a Rails app. Deployment breaks if I do not pass the script option.
Let me know if you need any more info, and thanks in advance for your help!
Well you can enforce SSL through your app's config/environments/production.rb file, you just need to add one line:
Rails.application.configure do
# Other code...
config.force_ssl = true # add this line to force HTTPS on production
end
This will do 3 things for your application, actually:
TLS redirect
Secure cookies: Sets the secure flag on cookies
HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
Read more about your application's configuration at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html

HTTP Digest Authentication Removed -Gerrit

I have upgraded my gerrit application from 2.11.7 to 2.14.1 , but i am not getting https in my url. it looks like only http is present . In gerrit 2.14.1 release notes I can see HTTP Digest Authentication Removed .Does that mean we can't use https anymore ?
No, you can continue using https.
Check the httpd.listenUrl option in the GERRIT_SITE/etc/gerrit.config file. Are you using "https" there?
Ex:
[httpd]
listenUrl = proxy-https://localhost:8080/

Google authentication for Gerrit and Jenkins

Jenkins and Gerrit have both plugins for OpenID 2.0, but this API has been deprecated by Google May 19 2014 (https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OpenID) making it impossible for new installation to use and existing installations must migrate to OAuth2.0(OpendID connect). When trying to use OpenID 2.0 you will get the error message "Error 400: OpenID auth request contains an unregistered domain".
The Gerrit team is aware of the problem but no solution as of yet:
https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2677
Not sure about Jenkins.
Update 2014/11/05: For those coming here the first place read on below. Thanks hans-zandbelt for the feedback. It is incorporated in the updated version. The setup now uses the suggested improvements and only uses mod_rewrite to redirect the gerrit logout url to the right place. Also note that instead of only using the non-domain part of the email the email is used unmodified. This means that if you happen to have an existing setup you need to change username mappings.
For Jenkins do the following:
move ${jenkins_home}/users/youruser to ${jenkins_home}/users/youruser#yourdomain
open ${jenkins_home}/config.xml search "youruser" and replace with youruser#yourdomain
For Gerrit:
either on the machine itself (change GERRIT_HOME to where it is on your machine):
open the sql database with one of the two methods below:
[Recommended] Either through the gerrit command available through ssh:
ssh gerrit.revault.ch gerrit gsql
OR on the machine itself (change GERRIT_HOME to where it is on your machine):
export GERRIT_HOME=/var/gerrit_home
pushd ${GERRIT_HOME}
java -cp $(find . -name "h2*.jar") org.h2.tools.Shell -url "jdbc:h2:file:${GERRIT_HOME}/db/ReviewDB;IFEXISTS=TRUE"
show external
select * from ACCOUNT_EXTERNAL_IDS;
the external ids map your account to different usernames, emails etc.
the ones prefixed with username: e.g. username:test#example.com are for ssh / git login names
the ones prefixed with gerrit: e.g. gerrit:test#example.com are used for the web interface
for a given account_id you can just add new mappings for existing users using sql: e.g.
insert into ACCOUNT_EXTERNAL_IDS values(1000032, NULL,NULL, 'username:test#example.com');
insert into ACCOUNT_EXTERNAL_IDS values(1000032, NULL,NULL, 'gerrit:test#example.com');
Solution
You can use an Apache as a reverse proxy handling authentication for you:
Gerrit
Assuming you already have installed Gerrit and it is listening on address 10.10.10.10:8080.
You will have to configure gerrit to use basic authentication, the [auth] section in your
${gerrit_installation}/etc/gerrit.config should look like this:
[gerrit]
basePath = git
canonicalWebUrl = http://gerrit.example.com
[database]
type = h2
database = db/ReviewDB
[index]
type = LUCENE
[auth]
type = HTTP
emailFormat = {0}#example.com
httpHeader = X-Forwarded-User
[sendemail]
smtpServer = localhost
[container]
user = gerrit
javaHome = /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre
[sshd]
listenAddress = 10.10.10.10:2222
[httpd]
listenUrl = http://10.10.10.10:8080/
[cache]
directory = cache
The username will be in the header X-Forwarded-User. That's how Apache will forward the username
to Gerrit.
On Apache we will use mod_auth_openidc which has support for oauth2. For further information and
example docs refer to https://github.com/pingidentity/mod_auth_openidc. On a recent Ubuntu the installation
looks like this:
sudo aptitude install libjansson-dev apache2 apache2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev build-essential autoconf libhiredis-dev
git clone https://github.com/pingidentity/mod_auth_openidc.git
cd mod_auth_openidc
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo a2enmod auth_openidc
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
sudo a2enmod headers
sudo a2enmod rewrite
You will need to add a site configuration e.g. gerrit.conf similar to the one below (you probably want TLS, too) to /etc/apache2/sites-available and activate it with:
sudo a2ensite gerrit.conf
The file /etc/apache2/sites-available/gerrit.conf looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName gerrit.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
OIDCClientID <from api console>
OIDCClientSecret <from api console>
OIDCScope "openid email profile"
OIDCRedirectURI http://gerrit.example.com/oauth2callback
OIDCCryptoPassphrase <generate long random passphrase here, no sure if used>
OIDCSessionInactivityTimeout 600
OIDCCookiePath /
OIDCAuthRequestParams hd=example.com
OIDCRemoteUserClaim email
OIDCAuthNHeader X-Forwarded-User
RewriteEngine On
#LogLevel alert rewrite:trace2
RewriteRule ^/logout$ /oauth2callback?logout=http://gerrit.example.com/ [R]
ProxyPass / http://gerrit.example.com:8080/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse / http://gerrit.example.com:8080/
ProxyRequests Off
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
<Proxy http://gerrit.example.com:8080/*>
# add rewrites here if necessary
</Proxy>
<Location />
AuthType openid-connect
Require claim hd:example.com
Require valid-user
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
In order to get the parameters OIDCClientID and OIDCClientSecret go to the api console under https://console.developers.google.com/project. The credentials are in the context of a project if you haven't one create a project first. E.g. example-it-authentication
On the project go to APIs & auth:
Under APIs activate Google+ API.
Under Credentials, OAuth create new Client ID.
Fill in OIDCClientID and OIDCClientSecret in your apache config (e.g. gerrit.conf)
Under Consent screen fill in email and product name (you will get an error if you don't)
service apache2 restart
You should be done!
Jenkins
Assuming you already have installed Jenkins and it is listening on 10.10.10.11:8080.
For Jenkins the configuration is almost identical. You will need to install and activate the Reverse Proxy Auth Plugin http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Reverse+Proxy+Auth+Plugin. Under Configure Global Security check the "HTTP Header by reverse proxy" radio.
The default values correspond to the configuration below. You will need to create credentials matching the jenkins hostname in the api console https://console.developers.google.com/project. Report them to your config as before (e.g. jenkins.conf). That should be all.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName jenkins.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
OIDCClientID <from api console>
OIDCClientSecret <from api console>
OIDCScope "openid email profile"
OIDCRedirectURI http://jenkins.example.com/oauth2callback
OIDCCryptoPassphrase <generate long random passphrase here, no sure if used>
OIDCSessionInactivityTimeout 600
OIDCCookiePath /
OIDCAuthRequestParams hd=example.com
OIDCRemoteUserClaim email
OIDCAuthNHeader X-Forwarded-User
ProxyPass / http://jenkins.example.com:8080/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse / http://jenkins.example.com:8080/
ProxyRequests Off
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
<Proxy http://jenkins.example.com:8080/*>
# add rewrites here if necessary
</Proxy>
<Location />
AuthType openid-connect
Require claim hd:example.com
Require valid-user
</Location>
<Location ~ "^/(cli|jnlpJars|subversion|whoAmI|computer/[^/]+/slave-agent.jnlp|tcpSlaveAgentListener)">
Satisfy Any
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Currently there doesn't seem to be support for groups in mod_auth_openidc. If you need groups you can install an LDAP that stores them (but this probably isn't what you want since you are using Google auth) or wait until it is supported by mod_auth_openidc.
Google's OpenID 2.0 has been superseded by OpenID Connect. The Apache module mod_auth_openidc implements OpenID Connect so it can be used in a reverse proxy that fronts Gerrit/Jenkins as described by revau.lt.
However, be aware that relying on the non-domain part of an e-mail address as a unique identifier is insecure unless you restrict logins to a specific domain using the following two configuration settings:
OIDCAuthRequestParams hd=example.com
to skip Google's account chooser screen, and in the <Location> section:
Require claim hd:example.com
to restrict access to only users from the example.com Google domain. If your application is open to any Google account you should not use the e-mail prefix as the primary identifier because you run the collision risk that users in different domains have the same user prefix.
That is why it is better to rely on the full e-mail address, e.g.
OIDCRemoteUserClaim email
or the (opaque) primary identifier that Google uses in the sub claim, e.g.:
OIDCRemoteUserClaim sub
Furthermore, instead of rewriting claims in to headers you can just use:
OIDCAuthNHeader X-Forwarded-User
Migration from OpenID 2.0 to OpenID Connect (retaining OpenID 2.0 user identifiers) is possible to, as described here and here, so you'd use:
OIDCAuthRequestParams openid.realm=<urlencoded-realm-value>
OIDCRemoteUserClaim openid_id
For an exhaustive overview of configuration primitives see: https://github.com/pingidentity/mod_auth_openidc/blob/master/auth_openidc.conf
As I know the fastest way to login into Gerrit with Google account is:
Create Client ID in Google Developers Console
Download this release of Gerrit and Google-OAuth-provider plugin
Re-initialize Gerrit: java -jar gerrit-2.10.1-4-a83387b.war init -d gerrit_site_path
And restart it: gerrit_site_path/bin/gerrit.sh restart
To Jenkins is new Google-login plug-in.

NTLM Proxy Translator to Basic Auth or Oauth

I have some services (say S1 & S2) that I would like to connect them with a third party service (say S3) that uses NTLM authentication. My Problem is that I can use either Basic Auth or Oauth. I was wondering if there is a Proxy that can make this Authentication translation (From NTLM to BasicAuth).
|s1|<--|
|--BasicAuth--> |Proxy| <--NTLM--> |s3|
|s2|<--|
For now, I am using Curl (--ntlm) to achieve that, but I would like to alter this as described.
S1 & S2 are running in a Debian Host.
Cheers!
I manage to Solve that by installing Cntlm. It's a proxy that does pretty much what I described.
I configured the proxy as it is mentioned in this blog post
With the main difference that I set only the Domain, and comment in the Password and User arguments:
Domain mySoapNTLMdomain
# Username
# Password
# NOTE: Use plaintext password only at your own risk
# Use hashes instead. You can use a "cntlm -M" and "cntlm -H"
# command sequence to get the right config for your environment.
# See cntlm man page
# Example secure config shown below.
# PassLM
# PassNT
# PassNTLMv2
So I could be authorised by using Basic Authentication. e.g.
curl http://soap.mydomain:1234/my/path --proxy http://127.0.0.1:3128 --user soapuser:andpass --proxy-user soapuser:andpass
