===============================================================================
Linux CLI tool for CCR quota reporting
===============================================================================

------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is iquota?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

iquota is a command line tool and associated server application for reporting
quotas for CCR storage systems.

Linux clients mount storage systems over nfs. Users obtain kerberos credentials
via knit and run the iquota client command which connects to the iquota-server
(proxy) over HTTPS (using GSSAPI/SPNEGO for auth). The iquota-proxy server
validates the users kerberos credentials and requests quota information cached
in redis.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- User/Group quota reporting from command line
- Kerberos based authentication
- Caching via redis

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Linux
- Kerberos
- sssd-ifp (SSSD InfoPipe responder)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install and configure iquota-server proxy
------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Note these docs are for CentOS 7.x. May need adjusting depending on your
flavor of Linux*

Download the RPM release `here `_::

$ rpm -Uvh iquota-server-0.x.x-x.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

Setup Kerberos HTTP keytab
===========================

The iquota-server uses Kerberos authentication. You'll need to create a HTTP
service keytab file. For example::

kadmin: addprinc -randkey HTTP/[email protected]

If using FreeIPA you can run::

$ ipa service-add HTTP/host.domain.com
$ ipa-getkeytab -s master.domain.com -p HTTP/host.domain.com -k http.keytab

Configure sssd
===============

iquota-server uses sssd-ifp (SSSD InfoPipe responder) over DBUS to fetch the
unix groups for a given user. For more information on sssd-ifp see `here
`_.

Ensure the sssd-dbus package is installed::

# yum install sssd-dbus

Configure sssd-ifp. Add the following lines to /etc/sssd/sssd.conf::

[sssd]
services = nss, sudo, pam, ssh, ifp

[ifp]
allowed_uids = iquota, root

Restart sssd to make the changes take effect::

# systemctl restart sssd

You can test to ensure sssd-ifp is configured properly by running the following
command. The array of unix groups for the user should be displayed::

# dbus-send --print-reply --system \
--dest=org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe \
/org/freedesktop/sssd/infopipe \
org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe.GetUserGroups \
string:username

array [
string "physics"
string "compsci"
string "users"
]

Configure iquota.yaml
=====================

Edit iquota configuration file::

$ vim /etc/iquota/iquota.yaml
keytab: "/path/to/http.keytab"
[ edit to taste ]

It's highly recommended to run iquota-server using HTTPS. You'll need an SSL
cert/private_key either using FreeIPA's PKI, self-signed, or from a commercial
certificate authority. Creating SSL certs is outside the scope of this
document. You can also run iquota-server behind haproxy or Apache/Nginx.

Copy your SSL cert/private_key to the following directories and set correct
paths in /etc/iquota/iquota.yaml. The iquota-server binary will run as non-root
user (iquota) so need to ensure file perms are set correctly::

$ mkdir /etc/iquota/{cert,private}
$ cp my.crt /etc/iquota/cert/my.crt
$ cp my.key /etc/iquota/private/my.key
$ chmod 640 /etc/iquota/private/my.key
$ chgrp iquota /etc/iquota/private/my.key

Start iquota-server service
============================

Start iquota-server service::

$ systemctl restart iquota-server
$ systemctl enable iquota-server

To view iquota-server system logs run::

$ journalctl -u iquota-server

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install iquota on all client machines mounting storage over nfs
------------------------------------------------------------------------

On all client machines mounting storage over nfs install the iquota client.
Download the RPM release `here `_::

$ rpm -Uvh iquota-0.x.x-x.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

Edit iquota configuration file. Add URL for iquota-server::

$ vim /etc/iquota/iquota.yaml
iquota_url: "http://host.domain.com"
[ edit to taste ]

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check user/group quotas::

$ kinit walterwhite
Password for walterwhite@REALM:
$ iquota -u -g
User quotas:
Filesystem user files used limit grace
/ifs/user
(default) 2.0 GB 1 week
walterwhite 34 370 kB 2.0 GB 1 week

Group quotas:
Filesystem group files used limit grace
/ifs/projects
(default) 520 GB 1 week
hermanos 4 699 MB 520 GB 1 week

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configure caching
------------------------------------------------------------------------

iquota-server should be configured to cache results for a given time period.
This helps reduce the load on the storage APIs and provide better iquota
performance. To enable caching first install redis then update
/etc/iquota/iquota.yaml.

Install Redis (install from EPEL)::

$ yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
$ yum install redis
$ systemctl restart redis
$ systecmtl enable redis

Edit /etc/iquota/iquota.yaml and restart::

$ vi /etc/iquota/iquota.yaml
enable_caching: true

$ systecmtl restart iquota-server
