38.3. Assigning the IdM ID range manually during server installation

Procedure

• You can define the IdM ID range manually during server installation by using the following two options with ipa-server-install:

  • --idstart gives the starting value for UID and GID numbers.
  • --idmax gives the maximum UID and GID number; by default, the value is the --idstart starting value plus 199,999.

Verification

• To check if the ID range was assigned correctly, you can display the assigned IdM ID range by using the ipa idrange-find command:

  # ipa idrange-find
  ---------------
  1 range matched
  ---------------
    Range name: IDM.EXAMPLE.COM_id_range
    First Posix ID of the range: 882200000
    Number of IDs in the range: 200000
    Range type: local domain range
  ----------------------------
  Number of entries returned 1
