Configuring Realms

This chapter shows how to configure OpenAM realms, which are used to group configuration and identities together. For example, you might have one realm for OpenAM administrators and agents, and another realm for users. In this two-realm setup, the OpenAM administrator can log in to the administrative realm to manage the services, but cannot authenticate as OpenAM administrator to the realm that protects web sites with HR and financial information.

OpenAM associates a realm with at least one identity repository and authentication chain. OpenAM also associates the realm with authorization applications and their policies, and with privileges for administrators. Each realm can have its own configuration for the services it provides.

When you first configure OpenAM, OpenAM sets up the default Top Level Realm, sometimes referred to as the / realm or root realm. The Top Level Realm contains OpenAM configuration data and allows authentication using the identity repository that you choose during initial configuration. The Top Level Realm might hold the overall configuration for Example.com, for instance.

You create new realms to subdivide authentication and authorization, and to delegate management of subrealms. For example, your organization might require separate realms for payroll, human resources, and IT management domains and their applications.

By default a new realm inherits configuration from its parent’s configuration. The default identity repository is the one you choose when you deploy and configure OpenAM. The default authentication mechanism corresponds to that identity repository as well. You can, however, constrain authentication to rely on different data stores, and set policy for agents to define authorization in the realm:

OpenAM requires cookies for all configured realms when using DNS aliases. For example, if you install OpenAM in the domain, openam.example.net and have realms, identity.example.org and security.example.com then you must configure cookie domains for .example.net, .example.org, and .example.com. You can set up the cookie domains for each realm using the OpenAM console under Configuration > System > Platform > Cookie Domains, and then add the domains as needed.

Managing Realms

You create and configure realms through the console, starting from the Realms page. You delegate administration for a realm by setting privileges in the realm.

To Create a New Realm

You can create a new realm through the OpenAM console as described below, or by using the ssoadm create-realm command:

  1. Log in to the OpenAM console as OpenAM Administrator, amadmin.

  2. On the Realms page, click New Realm. The New Realm dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to configure the realm.

    Do not use the names of OpenAM REST endpoints as the name of a realm. The OpenAM REST endpoint names that should not be used include: "users", "groups", "realms", "policies" and "applications".

    If you configure the realm to be inactive, then users cannot use it to authenticate or be granted access to protected resources.

    Realm/DNS aliases must follow standard FQDN conventions, such as hr.example.com or pay.example.com.[1]

  3. Save your work after defining the configuration for the new realm.

Delegating Realm Administration Privileges

You assign administration privileges to groups of users.

You can grant privileges through the OpenAM console, see "To Delegate Privileges using the OpenAM Console", or by using the ssoadm add-privileges command, see "ssoadm add-privileges" in the Reference.

To Delegate Privileges using the OpenAM Console

  1. On the Realms page, click the realm for which you want to delegate administration to view the realm configuration.

    Delegating administration privileges in the top-level realm allows members of the group full administration access to the OpenAm instance. Administration privileges in any other realm allows the group to administrate only in that realm, and any child realms.

  2. On the Privileges tab, click the name of the group to which you intend to grant access.

  3. Select the administrative privileges to delegate for the realm:

    • (Optional) To grant users in the group access to the administration console for the realm, select Read and write access to all realm and policy properties.

      In OpenAM 15.2.1, administrators can use the OpenAM administration console as follows:

      • Delegated administrators with the RealmAdmin privilege can access full administration console functionality within the realms they can administer.

      • Administrators with lesser privileges, such as the PolicyAdmin privilege, can not access the OpenAM administration console.

      • Both the top-level administrator (such as amadmin) and delegated administrators in the Top Level Realm with the RealmAdmin privilege have access to full console functionality in all realms and can access OpenAM’s global configuration.

    • (Optional) To grant users in the group access to REST endpoints, select them from the list.

    For information about the available OpenAM privileges, see "OpenAM Privileges".

  4. Save your work.

The following table describes privileges that you can assign in the OpenAM console or by using the ssoadm add-privileges command:

Working With Realms and Policy Agents

You can configure a policy agent to be directed to a realm and application when requesting policy decisions, or to log users into a different realm than the policy agent’s realm:

To Specify the Realm and Application for Policy Decisions

By default, policy agents request policy decisions in the Top Level Realm (/) from the default policy set, iPlanetAMWebAgentService. When the realm and policy set differ for your policy agent, you can specify the realm and policy set in the policy agent profile. OpenAM then directs requests from the policy agent to the specified realm and policy set, so this is backwards compatible with existing policy agents.

  1. In the OpenAM console, browse to Realms > Realm Name > Agents > Web or Java EE Agent Type > Agent Name > OpenAM Services > Policy Client Service.

  2. Set the Realm and Policy Set.

    Note that Policy Sets are labelled as "Application" in some parts of the user interface.

    For example, if the realm is /hr and the policy set is myHRApp:

    • Realm: /hr

    • Application: myHRApp

  3. Save your work.

To Configure a Web or J2EE Agent for Log In to a Realm

You might choose to configure your agent in one realm, yet have your real users authenticate through another realm. In this case, you want your policy agents to redirect users to authenticate to their realm, rather than the agent realm:

  1. In the OpenAM console, browse to Realms > Realm Name > Agents > Web or Java EE Agent Type > Agent Name > OpenAM Services.

  2. Add login and logout URLs, including the realm in the query string.

    For example, if your Realm Name is hr, and you access OpenAM at http://openam.example.com:8080/openam:

    • Login URL: http://openam.example.com:8080/openam/UI/Login?realm=hr

    • Logout URL: http://openam.example.com:8080/openam/UI/Logout?realm=hr

  3. Save your work.

Configuring Data Stores

When you first set up a realm, the new realm inherits the data store from the parent realm. Yet, if your administrators are in one realm and your users in another, your new child realm might retrieve users from a different data store.

To Configure a Data Store

  1. An external identity repository is a user store other than the OpenAM embedded repository. Before configuring an OpenAM data store as an external identity repository, make sure that you have prepared the external identity repository for OpenAM. For more information, see "Preparing an External Identity Repository" in the Installation Guide.

  2. In the OpenAM console, browse to Realms > Realm Name > Data Stores.

  3. Click New in the Data Stores table to create a data store profile, and to provide the information needed to connect to the data store.

  4. In the first screen, name the data store and select the type of data store.

    Most data stores are directory services, though the Database Repository lets you connect to an SQL database through JDBC.

  5. In the second screen, provide information on how to connect to your data store, and then click Finish to save your work.

    See the following sections for hints depending on the type of data store.

  6. You must index several directory attributes as a post-configuration step if you configured the data store as follows:

    • You configured the data store to access an external identity repository.

    • You used the "Load schema when finished" option.

    For more information about indexing external identity repository attributes, see "To Index External Identity Repository Attributes" in the Installation Guide.

  7. Click the Subjects tab, and make sure the connection to your new data store is working, by searching for a known identity.

    By default the Subjects list only retrieves 100 entries from the data store. Narrow your search if you do not see the identity you are looking for.

  8. If you no longer need the connection to the inherited data store in this realm, then you can delete its entry in the Data Stores table.

    Also, once you change the data store for a realm, you might opt to change the authentication module configuration to use your realm data store, rather than the inherited settings. See "Configuring Authentication Modules".

Hints for Configuring Active Directory Data Stores

Use these hints when configuring Active Directory Data Stores:

ssoadm service name: sunIdentityRepositoryService

Name

Name for the data store configuration

Load schema when finished

Add appropriate LDAP schema to the directory server when saving the configuration. The LDAP Bind DN user must have access to perform this operation.

This attribute is not available for use with the ssoadm command.

Default: false

LDAP Server

host:port to contact the directory server, with optional |server_ID|site_ID for deployments with multiple servers and sites.

OpenAM uses the optional settings to determine which directory server to contact first. OpenAM tries to contact directory servers in the following priority order, with highest priority first:

  1. The first directory server in the list whose server_ID matches the current OpenAM server.

  2. The first directory server in the list whose site_ID matches the current OpenAM server.

  3. The first directory server in the remaining list.

    If the directory server is not available, OpenAM proceeds to the next directory server in the list.

    ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-ldap-server

Default: host:port of the initial directory server configured for this OpenAM server.

LDAP Bind DN

Bind DN for connecting to the directory server. Some OpenAM capabilities require write access to directory entries.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-authid

Default: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,base-dn

LDAP Bind Password

Bind password for connecting to the directory server

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-authpw

LDAP Organization DN

The base DN under which to find user and group profiles.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-organization_name

Default: base-dn

LDAP SSL/TLS Enabled

Whether to use LDAPS or StartTLS to connect to the directory server. If you enable SSL or StartTLS, OpenAM must be able to trust server certificates, either because the server certificates were signed by a CA whose certificate is already included in the trust store used by the container where OpenAM runs, or because you imported the certificates into the trust store.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-connection-mode

Possible values: LDAP, LDAPS, and StartTLS

LDAP Connection Pool Maximum Size

Maximum number of connections to the directory server. Make sure the directory service can cope with the maximum number of client connections across all servers.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-connection_pool_max_size

Default: 10

LDAP Connection Heartbeat Interval

How often to send a heartbeat request to the directory server to ensure that the connection does not remain idle. Some network administrators configure firewalls and load balancers to drop connections that are idle for too long. You can turn this off by setting the value to 0 or to a negative number. To set the units for the interval use LDAP Connection Heartbeat Time Unit.

ssoadm attribute: openam-idrepo-ldapv3-heartbeat-interval

Default: 10

LDAP Connection Heartbeat Time Unit

Time unit for the LDAP Connection Heartbeat Interval setting.

ssoadm attribute: openam-idrepo-ldapv3-heartbeat-timeunit

Default: SECONDS

Maximum Results Returned from Search

A cap for the number of search results to request. For example, when using the Subjects tab to view profiles, even if you set Configuration > Console > Administration > Maximum Results Returned from Search to a larger number, OpenAM does not exceed this setting. Rather than raise this number, consider narrowing your search to match fewer directory entries.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-max-result

Default: 1000

Search Timeout

Maximum time to wait for search results in seconds. Does not apply to persistent searches.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-time-limit

Default: 10

LDAPv3 Plugin Search Scope

LDAP searches can apply to a single entry (SCOPE_BASE), entries directly below the search DN (SCOPE_ONE), or all entries below the search DN (SEARCH_SUB)

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-search-scope

Default: SCOPE_SUB

LDAPv3 Repository Plugin Class Name

OpenAM identity repository implementation.

ssoadm attribute: sunIdRepoClass

Default: org.forgerock.openam.idrepo.ldap.DJLDAPv3Repo

Attribute Name Mapping

Map of OpenAM profile attribute names to directory server attribute names.

ssoadm attribute: sunIdRepoAttributeMapping

Default: userPassword=unicodePwd

LDAPv3 Plugin Supported Types and Operations

Map of OpenAM operations that can be performed in the specified OpenAM contexts.

ssoadm attribute: sunIdRepoSupportedOperations

Default: group=read,create,edit,delete, realm=read,create,edit,delete,service, user=read,create,edit,delete

LDAP Users Search Attribute

When searching for a user by name, match values against this attribute.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-users-search-attribute

Default: cn

Do not modify the value of the search attribute in user profiles. Modifying this attribute value can result in incorrectly cached identity data. For example, if you configure the search attribute to mail, it could prevent users from being able to update their email addresses in their user profiles.
LDAP Users Search Filter

When searching for users, apply this LDAP search filter as well.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-users-search-filter

Default: (objectclass=person)

LDAP People Container Naming Attribute

RDN attribute of the LDAP base DN which contains user profiles.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-people-container-name

Default: cn

LDAP People Container Value

RDN attribute value of the LDAP base DN which contains user profiles.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-people-container-value

Default: users

LDAP User Object Class

User profiles have these LDAP object classes.

OpenAM handles only those attributes listed in this setting. OpenAM discards any such unlisted attributes from requests and the request proceeds without the attribute.

For example, with default settings, if you request that OpenAM execute a search that asks for the mailAlternateAddress attribute, OpenAM does the search, but does not request mailAlternateAddress. In the same way, OpenAM does perform an update operation with a request to set the value of an unlisted attribute like mailAlternateAddress, but it drops the unlisted attribute from the update request.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-user-objectclass

Default: organizationalPerson, person, top, User,

LDAP User Attributes

User profiles have these LDAP attributes.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-user-attributes

Create User Attribute Mapping

When creating a user profile, apply this map of OpenAM profile attribute names to directory server attribute names.

The LDAP user profile entries require the Common Name (cn) and Surname (sn) attributes, so that LDAP constraint violations do not occur when performing an add operation.

The cn attribute gets its value from the uid attribute, which comes from the User Name field on the console’s login page. The sn attribute gets the value of the givenName attribute. Attributes not mapped to another attribute and attributes mapped to themselves (for example, cn=cn) take the value of the username unless the attribute values are provided when creating the profile.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-createuser-attr-mapping

Default: cn, sn

Attribute Name of User Status

Attribute to check/set user status.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-isactive

Default: 544

User Status Inactive Value

Inactive users have the user status attribute set to this value.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-inactive

Default: 546

Authentication Naming Attribute

RDN attribute for building the bind DN when given a username and password to authenticate a user against the directory server.

When searching for groups, apply this LDAP search filter as well.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-groups-search-filter

Default: (objectclass=group)

LDAP Groups Container Naming Attribute

RDN attribute of the LDAP base DN which contains group profiles.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-group-container-name

Default: cn

LDAP Groups Container Value

RDN attribute value of the LDAP base DN which contains group profiles.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-group-container-value

Default: users

LDAP Groups Object Class

Group profiles have these LDAP object classes.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-group-objectclass

Default: Group, top

LDAP Groups Attributes

Group profiles have these LDAP attributes.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-group-attributes

Default: cn, distinguishedName, dn, member, name, objectCategory, objectclass, sAMAccountName, sAMAccountType

Attribute Name for Group Membership

LDAP attribute in the member’s LDAP entry whose values are the groups to which a member belongs.

Persistent Search Base DN

Base DN for LDAP-persistent searches used to receive notification of changes in directory server data.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-psearchbase

Default: base-dn

Persistent Search Scope

LDAP searches can apply to a single entry (SCOPE_BASE), entries directly below the search DN (SCOPE_ONE), or all entries below the search DN (SEARCH_SUB).

Specify either SCOPE_BASE or SCOPE_ONE. Do not specify SCOPE_SUB, as it can have a severe impact on Active Directory performance.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-psearch-scope

Default: SCOPE_SUB

The Delay Time Between Retries

How long to wait after receiving an error result that indicates OpenAM should try the LDAP operation again.

ssoadm attribute: com.iplanet.am.ldap.connection.delay.between.retries

Default: 1000 milliseconds

DN Cache Enabled

Whether to enable the DN cache, which is used to cache DN lookups that can happen in bursts during authentication. As the cache can become stale when a user is moved or renamed, enable DN caching when the directory service allows move/rename operations (Mod DN), and when OpenAM uses persistent searches to obtain notification of such updates.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-dncache-enabled

Default: false

DN Cache Size

Maximum number of DNs cached when caching is enabled.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-dncache-size

Default: 1500 items

Hints for Configuring Active Directory Application Mode Data Stores

Use these hints when configuring Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) Data Stores. ssoadm service name: sunIdentityRepositoryService

Name

Name for the data store configuration.

Load schema when finished

Add appropriate LDAP schema to the directory server when saving the configuration. The LDAP Bind DN user must have access to perform this operation.

This attribute is not available for use with the ssoadm command.

OpenAM uses the optional settings to determine which directory server to contact first. OpenAM tries to contact directory servers in the following priority order, with highest priority first:

  1. The first directory server in the list whose server_ID matches the current OpenAM server.

  2. The first directory server in the list whose site_ID matches the current OpenAM server.

  3. The first directory server in the remaining list.

    If the directory server is not available, OpenAM proceeds to the next directory server in the list.

    ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-ldap-server

Default: host:port of the initial directory server configured for this OpenAM server.

Load schema when finished

Add appropriate LDAP schema to the directory server when saving the configuration. The LDAP Bind DN user must have access to perform this operation.

This attribute is not available for use with the ssoadm command.

Default: false

LDAP Server

host:port to contact the directory server, with optional |server_ID|site_ID for deployments with multiple servers and sites.

OpenAM uses the optional settings to determine which directory server to contact first. OpenAM tries to contact directory servers in the following priority order, with highest priority first:

  1. The first directory server in the list whose server_ID matches the current OpenAM server.

  2. The first directory server in the list whose site_ID matches the current OpenAM server.

  3. The first directory server in the remaining list.

    If the directory server is not available, OpenAM proceeds to the next directory server in the list.

    ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-ldap-server

Default: host:port of the initial directory server configured for this OpenAM server.

LDAP Bind DN

Bind DN for connecting to the directory server. Some OpenAM capabilities require write access to directory entries.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-organization_name

Default: base-dn

LDAP SSL/TLS Enabled

Whether to use LDAPS or StartTLS to connect to the directory server. If you enable SSL or StartTLS, OpenAM must be able to trust server certificates, either because the server certificates were signed by a CA whose certificate is already included in the trust store used by the container where OpenAM runs, or because you imported the certificates into the trust store.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-connection-mode

Possible values: LDAP, LDAPS, and StartTLS

For example, with default settings, if you request that OpenAM execute a search that asks for the mailAlternateAddress attribute, OpenAM does the search, but does not request mailAlternateAddress. In the same way, OpenAM does perform an update operation with a request to set the value of an unlisted attribute like mailAlternateAddress, but it drops the unlisted attribute from the update request.

ssoadm attribute: sun-idrepo-ldapv3-config-user-objectclass

Default: devicePrintProfilesContainer, forgerock-am-dashboard-service, inetadmin, inetorgperson, inetuser, iplanet-am-auth-configuration-service, iplanet-am-managed-person, iplanet-am-user-service, iPlanetPreferences, organizationalperson, person, sunAMAuthAccountLockout, sunFederationManagerDataStore, sunFMSAML2NameIdentifier, sunIdentityServerLibertyPPService, top
