	<title>General Overview</title>
	<para><command>adcli</command> is a command line tool that
	can perform actions in an Active Directory domain. Among other things
	it can be used to join a computer to a domain.</para>

	<para>See the various sub commands below. The following global options
	can be used:</para>

	<variablelist>
		<varlistentry>
			<term><option>-D, --domain=<parameter>domain</parameter></option></term>
			<listitem><para>The domain to connect to. If a domain is

		</varlistentry>
		<varlistentry>
			<term><option>--use-ldaps</option></term>
			<listitem><para>Connect to the domain controller
			with LDAPS. By default the LDAP port is used and SASL
			GSS-SPNEGO or GSSAPI is used for authentication and to
			establish encryption. This should satisfy all
			requirements set on the server side and LDAPS should
			only be used if the LDAP port is not accessible due to
			firewalls or other reasons.</para>
			<para> Please note that the place where CA certificates
			can be found to validate the AD DC certificates
			must be configured in the OpenLDAP configuration
			file, e.g. <filename>/etc/openldap/ldap.conf</filename>.
			As an alternative it can be specified with the help of
			an environment variable, e.g.
<programlisting>
$ LDAPTLS_CACERT=/path/to/ad_dc_ca_cert.pem adcli join --use-ldaps -D domain.example.com

...
</programlisting>

<programlisting>
$ adcli info --domain-controller=dc.domain.example.com
...
</programlisting>

	<para><command>adcli info</command> will output as much information as
	it can about the domain. The information is designed to be both machine
	and human readable. The command will exit with a non-zero exit code
	if the domain does not exist or cannot be reached.</para>

	<para>To show domain info for a specific domain controller use the
	<option>--domain-controller</option> option to specify which domain
	controller to query.</para>

	<para>Use the <option>--verbose</option> option to show details of how
	the domain is discovered and queried. Many of the global options, in
	particular authentication options, are not usable with the
	<command>adcli info</command> command.</para>

	<para><command>adcli create-msa</command> creates a managed service
	account (MSA) in the given Active Directory domain. This is useful if a
	computer should not fully join the Active Directory domain but LDAP
	access is needed. A typical use case is that the computer is already
	joined an Active Directory domain and needs access to another Active
	Directory domain in the same or a trusted forest where the host
	credentials from the joined Active Directory domain are
	not valid, e.g. there is only a one-way trust.</para>

<programlisting>
$ adcli create-msa --domain=domain.example.com
Password for Administrator:
</programlisting>

	<para>The managed service account, as maintained by adcli, cannot have
	additional service principals names (SPNs) associated with it. An SPN
	is defined within the context of a Kerberos service which is tied to a
	machine account in Active Directory. Since a machine can be joined to a
	single Active Directory domain, managed service account in a different
	Active Directory domain will not have the SPNs that otherwise are part
	of another Active Directory domain's machine.</para>

	<para>Since it is expected that a client will most probably join to the
	Active Directory domain matching its DNS domain the managed service
	account will be needed for a different Active Directory domain and as a
	result the Active Directory domain name is a mandatory option. If
	called with no other options <command>adcli create-msa</command>
	will use the short hostname with an additional random suffix as
	computer name to avoid name collisions.</para>

	<para>LDAP attribute sAMAccountName has a limit of 20 characters.
	However, machine account's NetBIOS name must be at most 16 characters
	long, including a trailing '$' sign. Since it is not expected that the
	managed service accounts created by adcli will be used on the NetBIOS
	level the remaining 4 characters can be used to add uniqueness. Managed
	service account names will have a suffix of 3 random characters from
	number and upper- and lowercase ASCII ranges appended to the chosen
	short host name, using '!' as a separator. For a host with the
	shortname 'myhost', a managed service account will have a common name
	(CN attribute) 'myhost!A2c' and a NetBIOS name
	(sAMAccountName attribute) will be 'myhost!A2c$'. A corresponding
	Kerberos principal in the Active Directory domain where the managed
	service account was created would be
	'myhost!A2c$@DOMAIN.EXAMPLE.COM'.</para>

	<para>A keytab for the managed service account is stored into a file
	specified with -K option. If it is not specified, the file is named
	after the default keytab file, with lowercase Active Directory domain
	of the managed service account as a suffix. On most systems it would be
	<filename>/etc/krb5.keytab</filename> with a suffix of
	'domain.example.com', e.g.
	<filename>/etc/krb5.keytab.domain.example.com</filename>.</para>

	<para><command>adcli create-msa</command> can be called multiple
	times to reset the password of the managed service account. To identify
	the right account with the random component in the name the
	corresponding principal is read from the keytab. If the keytab got
	deleted <command>adcli</command> will try to identify an existing
	managed service account with the help of the fully-qualified name, if
	this fails a new managed service account will be created.</para>

<refsect1 id='delegation'>
	<title>Delegated Permissions</title>
	<para>It is common practice in AD to not use an account from the Domain
	Administrators group to join a machine to a domain but use a dedicated
	account which only has permissions to join a machine to one or more OUs
	in the Active Directory tree. Giving the needed permissions to a single
	account or a group in Active Directory is called Delegation. A typical
	example on how to configured Delegation can be found in the Delegation
	section of the blog post
	<ulink url="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/dubaisec/who-can-add-workstation-to-the-domain">Who can add workstation to the domain</ulink>.
	</para>

	<para>When using an account with delegated permissions with adcli
	basically the same applies as well. However some aspects are explained
	here in a bit more details to better illustrate different concepts of
	Active Directory and to make it more easy to debug permissions issues
	during the join. Please note that the following is not specific to
	adcli but applies to all applications which would like to modify
	certain properties or objects in Active Directory with an account with
	limited permissions.</para>

	<para>First, as said in the blog post it is sufficient to have
	<literal>"Create computer object"</literal> permissions to join a
	computer to a domain. But this would only work as expected if the
	computer object does not exist in Active Directory before the join.
	Because only when a new object is created Active Directory does not
	apply additional permission checks on the attributes of the new
	computer object. This means the delegated user can add any kind of
	attribute with any value to a new computer object also long as they
	meet general constraints like e.g. that the attribute must be defined
	in the schema and is allowed in a objectclass of the object, the value
	must match the syntax defined in the schema or that the
	<option>sAMAccountName</option> must be unique in the domain.</para>

	<para>If you want to use the account with delegated permission to
	remove computer objects in Active Directory (adcli delete-computer) you
	should of course make sure that the account has
	<literal>"Delete computer object"</literal> permissions.</para>

	<para>If the computer object already exists the
	<literal>"Create computer object"</literal> permission does not apply
	anymore since now an existing object must be modified. Now permissions
	on the individual attributes are needed. e.g.
	<literal>"Read and write Account Restrictions"</literal> or
	<literal>"Reset Password"</literal>. For some attributes Active
	Directory has two types of permissions the plain
	<literal>"Read and Write"</literal> permissions and the
	<literal>"Validated Write"</literal> permissions. For the latter case
	there are two specific permissions relevant for adcli, namely
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>Validated write to DNS host name</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>Validated write to service principal name</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
	Details about the validation of the values can be found in the
	<literal>"Validated Writes"</literal> section of
	<literal>[MS-ADTS]</literal>, especially
	<ulink url="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-adts/5c578b15-d619-408d-ba17-380714b89fd1">dNSHostName</ulink>
	and
	<ulink url="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-adts/28ca4eca-0e0b-4666-9175-a37ccb8edada">servicePrincipalName</ulink>.
	To cut it short for <literal>"Validated write to DNS host name"</literal>
	the domain part of the fully-qualified hostname must either match the
	domain name of the domain you want to join to or must be listed in the
	<option>msDS-AllowedDNSSuffixes</option> attribute. And for
	<literal>"Validated write to service principal name"</literal> the
	hostname part of the service principal name must match the name stored
	in <option>dNSHostName</option> or some other attributes which are
	not handled by adcli. This also means that
	<option>dNSHostName</option> cannot be empty or only contain a short
	name if the service principal name should contain a fully-qualified
	name.</para>

	<para>To summarize, if you only have validated write permissions you
	should make sure the domain part of the hostname matches the domain you
	want to join or use the <option>--host-fqdn</option> with a matching
	name.</para>

	<para>The plain read write permissions do not run additional
	validations but the attribute values must still be in agreement with
	the general constraints mentioned above. If the computer object already
	exists adcli might need the following permissions which are also needed
	by Windows clients to modify existing attributes:
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>Reset Password</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>Read and write Account Restrictions</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>Read and (validated) write to DNS host name</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>Read and (validated) write to service principal name</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
	additionally adcli needs
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>Read and write msDS-supportedEncryptionTypes</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
	This is added for security reasons to avoid that Active Directory
	stores Kerberos keys with (potentially weaker) encryption types than
	the client supports since Active Directory is often configured to still
	support older (weaker) encryption types for compatibility reasons.
	</para>

	<para>All other attributes are only set or modified on demand, i.e.
	adcli must be called with an option the would set or modify the given
	attribute. In the following the attributes adcli can modify together
	with the required permissions are listed:
	<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="permissions.xml" />
	</para>

	<para>For the management of users and groups (adcli create-user,
	adcli delete-user, adcli create-group, adcli delete-group) the same
	applies only for different types of objects, i.e. users and groups.
	Since currently adcli only supports the creation and the removal of
	user and group objects it is sufficient to have the
	<literal>"Create/Delete User objects"</literal> and
	<literal>"Create/Delete Group objects"</literal> permissions.</para>

	<para>If you want to manage group members as well (adcli add-member,
	adcli remove-member) <literal>"Read/Write Members"</literal> permissions
	are needed as well.</para>

	<para>Depending on the version of Active Directory the
	<literal>"Delegation of Control Wizard"</literal> might offer some
	shortcuts for common task like e.g.
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>Create, delete and manage user accounts</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>Create, delete and manage groups</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>Modify the membership of a group</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
	The first 2 shortcuts will provided full access to user and group
	objects which, as explained above, is more than currently is needed.
	After using those shortcut it is a good idea to verify in the
	<literal>"Security"</literal> tab in the <literal>"Properties"</literal>
	of the related Active Directory container that the assigned permissions
	meet the expectations.</para>
