The user +sends his login and passwords to phpbb which use it to authenticate on +ldap server. Because of this, someone with root access on the forums +server can access password of any user connecting to the forums. And +because important passwords are transfered, the connection needs to be +in SSL, so the *.mageia.org certificate also needs to be installed. So +access to the server needs to be restricted to sysadmin team only, who +also need to be able to check what is being done on forums, check it is +secure, etc ... And I think this makes forums admins not happy. + +As we are using ldap for authentication only (not for groups or anything +else), I think we could do authentication differently. Maybe we could +setup a mageia OpenID server linked to the ldap server. Then on the +forums use OpenID for authentication, when a user enter his login on +the forums he is redirected to the mageia OpenID authentication page +for the login entered. Then we can disable https on the forums, and +forum admins can be root on the forums server. And passwords are better +protected in case phpbb has a vulnerability. + +Sysadmin team would manage openid server. And forum team would manage +forums server. + +I've seen this project for phpbb3 openid authentication (I didn't check +if there are others) : +<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpbb-openid/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpbb-openid/</A> + +Login form looks like this : +<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=91989">http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=91989</A> +We would need to modify it to remove Username/Password. Replace "OpenID" +with "Mageia login" and automatically use Mageia OpenID server with the +login entered. So that each account on the forum is still linked to a +Mageia account. + +What do you think ? + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003335.html">[Mageia-sysadm] multiple builds on each nodes +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003330.html">[Mageia-sysadm] Users authentication on forums +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3328">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3328">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3328">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3328">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">More information about the Mageia-sysadm +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
