Jupyterhub create user and home at login


I have set up a jupyterhub Server with an LDAP Authentification. The Server and the authentication work fine. But my problem is, that I need to create the user I want to login with manually on the Server else he doesn't have a home and I get this error.

Is there a way to create the user and the home if the credentials are correct. Thanks

Edit: Now I updated the jupyterhub-ldap-authenticator to version 0.3.0. There the automated home directory creator is directly supported.

My current configuration of the LDAP Part in the jupyterhub_config.py file looks like this:

c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'ldapauthenticator.LDAPAuthenticator'
c.LDAPAuthenticator.server_hosts =  ['ldap://ldap.example.com:389']
c.LDAPAuthenticator.bind_user_dn = 'uid=binduser,cn=users,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com'
c.LDAPAuthenticator.bind_user_password = 'Password'
c.LDAPAuthenticator.user_search_base = 'cn=users,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com'
c.LDAPAuthenticator.user_search_filter = '(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid={username}))'
c.LDAPAuthenticator.username_pattern = '[a-zA-Z0-9_.][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{0,252}[a-zA-Z0-9_.$-]?'
c.LDAPAuthenticator.create_user_home_dir = True
c.LDAPAuthenticator.create_user_home_dir_cmd = ['mkhomedir_helper']

But I have now the problem, that i get the following error.

500 : Internal Server Error

This is the output of the Log.

Thanks for any help.


Solution

  • Found a way to solve my problem.

    First, I installed the jupyterhub LDAP authenticator.

    pip3 install jupyterhub-ldapauthenticator
    

    After the installation, I edited the config file.

    nano /etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py
    

    The config looks like this:

    c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'ldapauthenticator.LDAPAuthenticator'
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.server_hosts =  ['ldap://ldap.example.com:389']
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.bind_user_dn = 'uid=ldapbind,cn=users,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com‘
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.bind_user_password = ‘Password’
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.user_search_base = 'cn=users,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com‘
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.user_search_filter = '(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid={username}))'
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.username_pattern = '[a-zA-Z0-9_.][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{0,252}[a-zA-Z0-9_.$-]?'
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.create_user_home_dir = True
    c.LDAPAuthenticator.create_user_home_dir_cmd = ['mkhomedir_helper']
    

    In the next step, I installed the following LDAP packages.

    sudo apt-get install libnss-ldap libpam-ldap nscd
    

    While the installation you can make the required changes for the configuration. After the installation, I needed to reconfigure the package because I need to change the password encryption.

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-config
    

    Next, I changed the config file ldap.conf.

    nano /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
    

    From:

    #BASE    dc=unixmen,dc=local
    #URI     ldap://192.168.1.100
    

    To:

    BASE    dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com
    URI     ldap://ldap.example.com
    

    The second config file I edited is nsswitch.conf. The ldap need to be added four times.

    passwd:         compat ldap
    group:          compat ldap
    shadow:         compat ldap
    netgroup:       ldap
    

    After the changes, the service needs to be restarted.

    systemctl restart nscd
    

    Like this, I could solve my problem and it's still working for me.
