Description Nico Stöckigt univentionstaff 2018-04-17 14:51:15 CEST
While joining the Administrator password is entered hidden but then it is shown as plaintext in process list

------------------------------------------------------------
root@ucs-slave:~# ps aux | grep listene
root       778  0.0  0.0   4096   704 ?        Ss   Apr16   0:00 runsv univention-directory-listener
root     20880  0.0  0.0   4492  1764 pts/0    S+   11:09   0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/univention-install/03univention-directory-listener.inst --binddn uid=Administrator,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=tld --bindpwd ADMINPWD

------------------------------------------------------------

By this the password also is saved as plaintext to '/var/log/univention/system-stats.log'.

For security reasons it's better to crop the password from the output.

univention-join 8041f894f6c9fc086c54a3d48b7c86e2c376bf3a

added "api" for join script arguments, join scripts now can have different key words to influence the parameters with which univention-join/univention-run-joins-scripts calls the join script

 -> "^## joinscript api: bindpwdfile$" gets called with binddn and bindpwdfile
 -> "^## joinscript api: nocredentials$" gets called without arguments
 -> "^## joinscript api: credentialfiles$" gets called withou argumenst

univention-join/univentionrun-joins-scripts now always creates /var/univention-join/binddn and /var/univention-join/bindpwd during the run of the joinscripts (maybe we cann get rid of the credential parameters some time)
Comment 2 Felix Botner univentionstaff 2018-05-07 15:56:21 CEST
further changes

univention-heimdal - 5ce78ea77a45f1c9cce5a3cd3cb1eb51103dd97c
 * nocredentials in join script
 * bindpwdfile support in salt_krb5Keys

univention-directory-manager-modules - c888bb6a44a39c541bdc8fbeaa4890d9aec61dfb
 * bindpwdfile support in join script
 * bindpwdfile support in univention-dnsedit

univention-appcenter - 0873e93e7314d1289bfc08476fa70c1522f65302
 * bindpwdfile support in join script

univention-saml - b8d286633b9e56152b3b01cd7a9aa421ac5e8d23
 * bindpwdfile support in join script

that's it for now, better not too many packages with this bug ...

If the concept and the changes are OK, we better wait for the release of the packages before we move on.

I have created bug #46968 for packages that currently use the bindpwd directly and bug #46969 for package where we can (at least from what i can see) simply switch to bindpwdfile.
