- July 20, 2023

OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation.

Installing Google Authenticator pbis-open and freeradius Now that we have the VM and Ubuntu installed, we now need to install our packages. First make sure you have a DNS record for the server in active directory, as we are going to need it. This must be done first! Also create a AD security group named: GG_S_GOOGLE_AUTH_DISABLED Once done, go back to your console and run the following: sudo su enter your password apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade say Y when prompted apt-get install ntp say Y when prompted apt-get install ntpdate should not prompt ntpdate pool.ntp.org Now we are going to install pbis-open for our connection to Active Directory wget -O - http://repo.pbis.beyondtrust.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-pbis|sudo apt-key add - wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbiso.list http://repo.pbis.beyondtrust.com/apt/pbiso.list apt-get update apt-get install pbis-open say Y when prompted Once that completes we can Join our Ubuntu server to the domai...

Ok so I though this was going to be a simple step by step process. Considering there is already a published document out there on this. However come to find out not only is this completely out dated, but half the stuff is wrong, Not only is this doc wrong in so many parts, but searching documentation on the internet is wrong as well. However after several days of testing, and looking up error codes, and then re-testing and chasing rabbits down holes that led me no where I finally got this up and running, and I'm able to consistently reproduce the results. I'm going to walk you step by step how to set this up for a single connection server for dual factor authentication. Part 1 : Get Ubuntu 16.04 and install it!
