NAME

ipa-server-install - Configure an IPA server

SYNOPSIS

ipa-server-install [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

Configures the services needed by an IPA server. This includes setting up a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) and a Kadmin daemon with an LDAP back-end, configuring Apache, configuring NTP and optionally configuring and starting an LDAP-backed DNS server. By default a dogtag-based CA will be configured to issue server certificates.

OPTIONS

BASIC OPTIONS

The Kerberos realm name for the IPA server
Your DNS domain name
The password to be used by the Directory Server for the Directory Manager user
The kerberos master password (normally autogenerated)
The password for the IPA admin user
The fully-qualified DNS name of this server. If the hostname does not match system hostname, the system hostname will be updated accordingly to prevent service failures.
The IP address of this server. If this address does not match the address the host resolves to and --setup-dns is not selected the installation will fail. If the server hostname is not resolvable, a record for the hostname and IP_ADDRESS is added to /etc/hosts.
Do not configure NTP
The starting user and group id number (default random)
The maximum user and group id number (default: idstart+199999). If set to zero, the default value will be used.
Don't install allow_all HBAC rule. This rule lets any user from any host access any service on any other host. It is expected that users will remove this rule before moving to production.
Do not automatically redirect to the Web UI.
Configure OpenSSH client to trust DNS SSHFP records.
Do not configure OpenSSH client.
Do not configure OpenSSH server.
Enable debug logging when more verbose output is needed
An unattended installation that will never prompt for user input

CERTIFICATE SYSTEM OPTIONS

Generate a CSR to be signed by an external CA
File containing PKCS#10 certificate
File containing PKCS#10 of the external CA chain
PKCS#12 file containing the Directory Server SSL Certificate
PKCS#12 file containing the Apache Server SSL Certificate
The password of the Directory Server PKCS#12 file
The password of the Apache Server PKCS#12 file
The certificate subject base (default O=REALM.NAME)
Configure a self-signed CA instance for issuing server certificates instead of using dogtag for certificates.

WARNING: Using this option will restrain the server certificate management capabilities. Please, keep in mind that there is no way to change this setting later.

DNS OPTIONS

Generate a DNS zone if it does not exist already and configure the DNS server. This option requires that you either specify at least one DNS forwarder through the --forwarder option or use the --no-forwarders option.

Note that you can set up a DNS at any time after the initial IPA server install by running ipa-dns-install (see ipa-dns-install(1)).

Add a DNS forwarder to the DNS configuration. You can use this option multiple times to specify more forwarders, but at least one must be provided, unless the --no-forwarders option is specified.
Do not add any DNS forwarders. Root DNS servers will be used instead.
The reverse DNS zone to use
Do not create reverse DNS zone
The e-mail address of the DNS zone manager. Defaults to hostmaster@DOMAIN
Do not enable persistent search mechanism for updating the list of DNS zones in the name server. When persistent search is disabled and --zone-refresh option is not set to non-zero value, new zones won't be resolvable until the name server is reloaded.
When set to non-zero value, persistent search zone update mechanism will be disabled and the name server will use a polling mechanism to load new DNS zones every ZONE_REFRESH seconds.
Do not use DNS for hostname lookup during installation
Do not automatically create DNS SSHFP records.
Do not enable SOA serial autoincrement feature. SOA serial will have to be updated automatically or other DNS features like zone transfer od DNSSEC will not function properly. This feature requires persistent search zone update mechanism.

UNINSTALL OPTIONS

Uninstall an existing IPA installation
An unattended uninstallation that will never prompt for user input

EXIT STATUS

0 if the (un)installation was successful

1 if an error occurred
