Bernd Worsch 0754dc32e6 feat(sso-mfa): T05 SSO stack pivot — Keycloak → Authelia + LLDAP + KeyCape (NK-WP-0001-T05)
Replaces the Keycloak+privacyIDEA SSO tier with the lightweight stack built
during KEY-WP-0001: Authelia (password frontend), LLDAP (directory), and
KeyCape (OIDC orchestration). privacyIDEA is retained as the MFA engine.

Stack:
  kc.coulomb.social   — KeyCape OIDC server (stateless, custom Go)
  auth.coulomb.social — Authelia login portal (password auth → Authelia OIDC → KeyCape)
  lldap.coulomb.social — LLDAP admin UI (IP-restricted)
  pink.coulomb.social — privacyIDEA MFA engine (unchanged)

Changes:
- Remove sso-mfa/k8s/keycloak/ (7 files)
- Add sso-mfa/k8s/lldap/ (pvc, deployment, middleware, ingress, create-secrets, README)
- Add sso-mfa/k8s/authelia/ (pvc, configmap, deployment, ingress, create-secrets, README)
- Add sso-mfa/k8s/keycape/ (deployment, middleware, ingress, create-secrets, create-pi-token, README)
- Update network-policies/netpol-sso.yaml for new component topology
- Update verify-t05.sh: checks LLDAP + Authelia + KeyCape (23 checks)
- Update CONFIG.md: fix CP-NK-004 (KeyCape), add CP-NK-005 (Authelia), CP-NK-006 (LLDAP)
- Update bootstrap/gen-secrets.sh: add LLDAP/Authelia/KeyCape sections, remove Keycloak
- Update k8s/README.md: network policy table reflects new traffic paths
- Add sso-mfa/WORKPLAN.md: resumable task checklist

T05a — LLDAP (Lightweight LDAP Directory)

LLDAP is the user and group directory for the net-kingdom SSO stack. It provides LDAP access to Authelia (credential validation) and KeyCape (user attribute lookup). The admin web UI is IP-restricted and never exposed publicly.

Prerequisites

  • T02 complete (namespaces and NetworkPolicies applied)
  • bootstrap/gen-secrets.sh run and secrets/lldap/secrets.env populated in KeePassXC
  • kubectl configured with cluster access

Apply order

# 1. Generate secrets (if not already done)
cd ../../bootstrap && ./gen-secrets.sh

# 2. Create K8s Secret
cd ../k8s/lldap
chmod +x create-secrets.sh
./create-secrets.sh

# 3. Apply manifests (order matters)
kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml
kubectl apply -f middleware.yaml
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml

# 4. Wait for pod to be ready
kubectl rollout status deployment/lldap -n sso --timeout=120s

Post-deploy bootstrap

After the pod is Running, create the two required application groups via the web UI:

https://lldap.coulomb.social
Username: admin
Password: LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS (from KeePassXC → net-kingdom/LLDAP/admin)

Create groups:

  • net-kingdom-users — standard users
  • net-kingdom-admins — privileged users (enforce MFA step-up in KeyCape policies)

Ports

Port Protocol Access Purpose
3890 TCP (LDAP) Cluster-internal only Authelia + KeyCape LDAP bind
17170 TCP (HTTP) Traefik (IP-restricted) Admin web UI

The LDAP port is never exposed via Ingress. Only pods in the sso namespace with app.kubernetes.io/name=authelia or app.kubernetes.io/name=keycape labels are allowed to reach port 3890 (enforced by NetworkPolicy).

Secrets managed

Secret name Keys Purpose
lldap-secrets LLDAP_JWT_SECRET, LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS Pod environment variables

LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS is the admin bind password shared by Authelia and KeyCape. It must match the value used in authelia/create-secrets.sh and keycape/create-secrets.sh. All three read it from secrets/lldap/secrets.env.

Storage

lldap-data PVC (1 Gi, ReadWriteOnce) holds LLDAP's SQLite database.

Back this PVC up regularly — it contains all users and groups. If it is lost without a backup, all user accounts must be re-created and all applications must be re-enrolled in privacyIDEA.

Optional: switch to PostgreSQL by setting LLDAP_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... env var in deployment.yaml and removing the PVC.

Verify

# Check pod status
kubectl get pod -n sso -l app.kubernetes.io/name=lldap

# Check LLDAP health via cluster-internal curl
kubectl run -n sso --rm -it ldap-test --image=busybox --restart=Never \
  -- wget -qO- http://lldap.sso.svc.cluster.local:17170/health

# Test LDAP bind (from another pod in the sso namespace)
# ldapwhoami -H ldap://lldap.sso.svc.cluster.local:3890 \
#   -D "uid=admin,ou=people,dc=netkingdom,dc=local" -w <LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS>
