What is Ubuntu Landscape

Landscape is a systems management tool developed by Canonical. It can be run on-premises or in the cloud depending on the needs of the user. It is primarily designed for use with Ubuntu derivatives such as Desktop, Server, and Core.

:::caution This requires authentik 0.10.3 or newer. :::

Preparation

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

  • landscape.company is the FQDN of the Landscape server.
  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik installation.

:::info This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application. :::

Landscape uses the OpenID Connect protocol for single sign-on.

authentik configuration

To support the integration of Landscape with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider in authentik

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click Create with Provider to create an application and provider pair. (Alternatively you can first create a provider separately, then create the application and connect it with the provider.)
  • Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings.
  • Choose a Provider type: select OAuth2/OpenID Connect as the provider type.
  • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
    • Note the Client ID, Client Secret, and slug values because they will be required later.
    • Set a Strict redirect URI to https://landscape.company/login/handle-openid.
    • Select any available signing key.
  • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's My applications page.
  1. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Landscape configuration

On the Landscape Server, edit the file /etc/landscape/service.conf and add the following snippet under the [landscape] section:

oidc-issuer = https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/
oidc-client-id = <client ID of the provider you've created>
oidc-client-secret = <client Secret of the provider you've created>

Afterwards, run sudo lsctl restart to restart the Landscape services.
