PRIVACYIDEA-ubuntu 18.04

 

2.2. Ubuntu Packages

There are ready made packages for Ubuntu.

https://privacyidea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntu.html#pam

Packages of older releases of privacyIDEA up to version 2.23 are available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS from a public ppa repository 1. Using these is deprecated.

For recent releases of privacyIDEA starting from version 3.0 a repository is available which provides packages for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, 20.04LTS and 22.04LTS 2.

Note

The packages privacyidea-apache2 and privacyidea-nginx assume that you want to run a privacyIDEA system. These packages deactivate all other (default) websites. Instead, you may install the package privacyidea-mysql to install the privacyIDEA application and setup the database without any webserver configuration. After this, you can integrate privacyIDEA with your existing webserver configuration.

Read about the upgrading process in Upgrading a packaged installation.

2.2.1. Installing privacyIDEA 3.0 or higher

Before installing privacyIDEA 3.0 or upgrading to 3.0 you need to add the repository.

2.2.1.1. Add repository

The packages are digitally signed. First you need to download the signing key:

wget https://lancelot.netknights.it/NetKnights-Release.asc

Then you can verify the fingerprint:

gpg --import --import-options show-only --with-fingerprint NetKnights-Release.asc

The fingerprint of the key is:

pub 4096R/AE250082 2017-05-16 NetKnights GmbH <release@netknights.it>
Key fingerprint = 0940 4ABB EDB3 586D EDE4 AD22 00F7 0D62 AE25 0082

On Ubuntu 18.04LTS and 20.04LTS you can now add the signing key to your system:

apt-key add NetKnights-Release.asc

On Ubuntu 22.04LTS you can add the signing key by:

mv NetKnights-Release.asc /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/

Now you need to add the repository for your release (either bionic/18.04LTS, focal/20.04LTS or jammy/22.04LTS)

You can do this by running the command:

add-apt-repository http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/bionic/stable

or:

add-apt-repository http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/focal/stable

or:

add-apt-repository http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/jammy/stable

As an alternative you can add the repo in a dedicated file. Create a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/privacyidea-community.list with the following contents:

deb http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/bionic/stable bionic main

or:

deb http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/focal/stable focal main

or:

deb http://lancelot.netknights.it/community/jammy/stable jammy main

2.2.1.2. Installation of privacyIDEA 3.x

After having added the repositories, run:

apt update
apt install privacyidea-apache2

If you do not like the Apache2 webserver you could alternatively use the meta package privacyidea-nginx.

Now you may proceed to First Steps.

2.2.2. FreeRADIUS

privacyIDEA has a perl module to “translate” RADIUS requests to the API of the privacyIDEA server. This module plugs into FreeRADIUS. The FreeRADIUS does not have to run on the same machine as privacyIDEA. To install this module run:

apt-get install privacyidea-radius

For further details see RADIUS plugin.
