Install OMF Services

Configure Apt Repository

To begin we'll need to add the Orbit apt repository to the list of sources that our console will pull packages from. This is done by running the follwing two commands.

Note: It is assumed that you have root access and can run these commands as root if needed

The first installs the orbit repositories gpg-key into the consoles key-ring.

wget -qO - http://packages.orbit-lab.org/downloads/orbitapt.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Next we download the source list for the repository.

wget -qO /etc/apt/sources.list.d/orbit.list http://packages.orbit-lab.org/downloads/orbit-precise.list

Once we have these changes in place, we need to update the repository list via

apt-get update

Install Services

All the services can be installed via a single container package:

apt-get install omf-aggmgr-geni-5.4

This will install:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  libc-bin libc6 perl perl-base perl-modules

during the install process you will be prompted to answer the following questions. The order may not match up, but each will be asked.

LDAP Server Installation Questions

You will be promted for Ldap root passwords. It will be asked for when installing the client.

While installing LDAP it will ask:

1. It will guess the oganizational structure for ldap based on FQDN. For example if your machine name is console.geni.net, it will assume the domain is:

   geni.net => dc=geni,dc=net
   

Note: For here we assume the domain is dc=geni,dc=net. Please adjust this domain to match your FQDN.

LDAP Client Installation Questions

When Installing you will be asked for the following information:

• base dc=geni,dc=net
• uri ldap://ldap.geni.net/
• ldap_version 3
• rootbinddn cn=admin,dc=geni,dc=net

Use the defaults for any questions not mentioned here.

MySQL Installation Questions

You will be prompted for a MySQL admin password during the install.

Post-installation Configuration

Once the installation completes you will need to modify the /etc/ldap.conf. Please make sure the line:

pam_check_host_attr yes

is uncommented and is set to yes. Next add the following line to the end of your /etc/ldap.conf.

nss_initgroups_ignoreusers backup,bin,daemon,games,gnats,irc,libuuid,libvirt-qemu,list,lp,mail,man,messagebus,news,ntp,postfix,proxy,root,sshd,statd,sync,sys,syslog,usbmux,uucp,www-data

You can verify your ldap conf config by running:

egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/ldap.conf

It should produce results like:

base dc=geni,dc=net
uri ldap://ldap.geni.net/
ldap_version 3
pam_check_host_attr yes
rootbinddn cn=admin,dc=geni,dc=net
pam_password md5
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers backup,bin,daemon,games,gnats,irc,libuuid,libvirt-qemu,list,lp,mail,man,messagebus,news,ntp,postfix,proxy,root,sshd,statd,sync,sys,syslog,usbmux,uucp,www-data

Next edit /etc/nsswitch.conf file so that is has the follow non comment lines:

    passwd:         files ldap compat
    group:          files ldap compat
    shadow:         files compat

    hosts:          files dns
    networks:       files

    protocols:      db files
    services:       db files
    ethers:         db files
    rpc:            db files

    netgroup:       nis

Finally add the follow line to the /etc/sudoers file (note this is done with the visudo command).

    %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
    %sysadmin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
