OPTIONS¶

-P, --principal

The user principal which will be used to promote the client to the replica and enroll the client itself, if necessary.

-w, --admin-password

The Kerberos password for the given principal.

CLIENT ENROLLMENT OPTIONS¶

To install client and promote it to replica using a host keytab or One Time Password, the host needs to be a member of ipaservers group. This requires to create a host entry and add it to the host group prior replica installation.

--server, --domain, --realm options are autodiscovered via DNS records by default. See manual page ipa-client-install(1) for further details about these options.

-p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD

One Time Password for joining a machine to the IPA realm.

-k, --keytab

Path to host keytab.

--server

The fully qualified domain name of the IPA server to enroll to. The IPA server must provide the CA role if --setup-ca option is specified, and the KRA role if --setup-kra option is specified.

-n, --domain=DOMAIN

The primary DNS domain of an existing IPA deployment, e.g. example.com. This DNS domain should contain the SRV records generated by the IPA server installer.

-r, --realm=REALM_NAME

The Kerberos realm of an existing IPA deployment.

--hostname

The hostname of this machine (FQDN). If specified, the hostname will be set and the system configuration will be updated to persist over reboot.

--force-join

Join the host even if it is already enrolled.

BASIC OPTIONS¶

--ip-address=IP_ADDRESS

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. This option can be used multiple times to specify more IP addresses of the server (e.g. multihomed and/or dualstacked server).

--mkhomedir

Create home directories for users on their first login

--ntp-server=NTP_SERVER

Configure chronyd to use this NTP server. This option can be used multiple times and it is used to specify exactly one time server.

--ntp-pool=NTP_SERVER_POOL

Configure chronyd to use this NTP server pool. This option is meant to be pool of multiple servers resolved as one host name. This pool's servers may vary but pool address will be still same and chrony will choose only one server from this pool.

-N, --no-ntp

Do not configure NTP client (chronyd).

--no-ui-redirect

Do not automatically redirect to the Web UI.

--ssh-trust-dns

Configure OpenSSH client to trust DNS SSHFP records.

--no-ssh

Do not configure OpenSSH client.

--no-sshd

Do not configure OpenSSH server.

--subid

Configure SSSD as data source for subid.

--skip-conncheck

Skip connection check to remote master

--skip-mem-check

Skip checking for minimum required memory

-d, --debug

Enable debug logging when more verbose output is needed

-U, --unattended

An unattended installation that will never prompt for user input

--dirsrv-config-file

The path to LDIF file that will be used to modify configuration of dse.ldif during installation of the directory server instance

CERTIFICATE SYSTEM OPTIONS¶

--setup-ca

Install and configure a CA on this replica. If a CA is not configured then certificate operations will be forwarded to a master with a CA installed.

--no-pkinit

--dirsrv-cert-file=FILE

File containing the Directory Server SSL certificate and private key

--http-cert-file=FILE

File containing the Apache Server SSL certificate and private key

--pkinit-cert-file=FILE

File containing the Kerberos KDC SSL certificate and private key

--dirsrv-pin=PIN

The password to unlock the Directory Server private key

--http-pin=PIN

The password to unlock the Apache Server private key

--pkinit-pin=PIN

The password to unlock the Kerberos KDC private key

--dirsrv-cert-name=NAME

Name of the Directory Server SSL certificate to install

--http-cert-name=NAME

Name of the Apache Server SSL certificate to install

--pkinit-cert-name=NAME

Name of the Kerberos KDC SSL certificate to install

--pki-config-override=FILE

File containing overrides for CA and KRA installation.

--skip-schema-check

Skip check for updated CA DS schema on the remote master

SECRET MANAGEMENT OPTIONS¶

--setup-kra

Install and configure a KRA on this replica. If a KRA is not configured then vault operations will be forwarded to a master with a KRA installed.

DNS OPTIONS¶

--setup-dns

Configure an integrated DNS server, create a primary DNS zone (name specified by --domain or taken from an existing deployment), and fill it with service records necessary for IPA deployment. In cases where the IPA server name does not belong to the primary DNS domain and is not resolvable using DNS, create a DNS zone containing the IPA server name as well.

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)). IPA DNS cannot be uninstalled.

--forwarder=IP_ADDRESS

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.

--no-forwarders

Do not add any DNS forwarders. Root DNS servers will be used instead.

--auto-forwarders

Add DNS forwarders configured in /etc/resolv.conf to the list of forwarders used by IPA DNS.

--forward-policy=first|only

DNS forwarding policy for global forwarders specified using other options. Defaults to first if no IP address belonging to a private or reserved ranges is detected on local interfaces (RFC 6303). Defaults to only if a private IP address is detected.

--reverse-zone=REVERSE_ZONE

The reverse DNS zone to use. This option can be used multiple times to specify multiple reverse zones.

--no-reverse

Do not create new reverse DNS zone. If a reverse DNS zone already exists for the subnet, it will be used.

--auto-reverse

Create necessary reverse zones

--allow-zone-overlap

Create DNS zone even if it already exists

--no-host-dns

Do not use DNS for hostname lookup during installation

--no-dns-sshfp

Do not automatically create DNS SSHFP records.

--no-dnssec-validation

Disable DNSSEC validation on this server.

SID GENERATION OPTIONS¶

--netbios-name=NETBIOS_NAME

The NetBIOS name for the IPA domain. If not provided then this is determined based on the leading component of the DNS domain name. Running ipa-adtrust-install for a second time with a different NetBIOS name will change the name. Please note that changing the NetBIOS name might break existing trust relationships to other domains.

--add-sids

Add SIDs to existing users and groups as on of final steps of the ipa-adtrust-install run. If there a many existing users and groups and a couple of replicas in the environment this operation might lead to a high replication traffic and a performance degradation of all IPA servers in the environment. To avoid this the SID generation can be run after ipa-adtrust-install is run and scheduled independently. To start this task you have to load an edited version of ipa-sidgen-task-run.ldif with the ldapmodify command info the directory server.

--rid-base=RID_BASE

First RID value of the local domain. The first Posix ID of the local domain will be assigned to this RID, the second to RID+1 etc. See the online help of the idrange CLI for details.

--secondary-rid-base=SECONDARY_RID_BASE

Start value of the secondary RID range, which is only used in the case a user and a group share numerically the same Posix ID. See the online help of the idrange CLI for details.

AD TRUST OPTIONS¶

--setup-adtrust

Configure AD Trust capability on a replica.

--add-agents

Add IPA masters to the list that allows to serve information about users from trusted forests. Starting with IPA 4.2, a regular IPA master can provide this information to SSSD clients. IPA masters aren't added to the list automatically as restart of the LDAP service on each of them is required. The host where ipa-adtrust-install is being run is added automatically.

Note that IPA masters where ipa-adtrust-install wasn't run, can serve information about users from trusted forests only if they are enabled via ipa-adtrust-install run on any other IPA master. At least SSSD version 1.13 on IPA master is required to be able to perform as a trust agent.

--enable-compat

Enables support for trusted domains users for old clients through Schema Compatibility plugin. SSSD supports trusted domains natively starting with version 1.9. For platforms that lack SSSD or run older SSSD version one needs to use this option. When enabled, slapi-nis package needs to be installed and schema-compat-plugin will be configured to provide lookup of users and groups from trusted domains via SSSD on IPA server. These users and groups will be available under cn=users,cn=compat,$SUFFIX and cn=groups,cn=compat,$SUFFIX trees. SSSD will normalize names of users and groups to lower case.

In addition to providing these users and groups through the compat tree, this option enables authentication over LDAP for trusted domain users with DN under compat tree, i.e. using bind DN uid=administrator@ad.domain,cn=users,cn=compat,$SUFFIX.

LDAP authentication performed by the compat tree is done via PAM 'system-auth' service. This service exists by default on Linux systems and is provided by pam package as /etc/pam.d/system-auth. If your IPA install does not have default HBAC rule 'allow_all' enabled, then make sure to define in IPA special service called 'system-auth' and create an HBAC rule to allow access to anyone to this rule on IPA masters.

As 'system-auth' PAM service is not used directly by any other application, it is safe to use it for trusted domain users via compatibility path.
