Red Hat Summit20.5. Authorizing the installation of a replica on a system that is not enrolled into IdM
When installing a replica on a system that is not enrolled in the Identity Management (IdM) domain, the ipa-replica-install utility first enrolls the system as a client and then installs the replica components. For this scenario, choose Method 1 or Method 2 below to authorize the replica installation. Choose Method 1 if one of the following applies:
- You want a senior system administrator to perform the initial part of the procedure and a junior administrator to perform the rest.
- You want to automate your replica installation.
When installing an IdM replica, the system verifies if the provided Kerberos principal has the required privileges, which includes checking for user ID overrides. As a result, you can deploy a replica using the credentials of an AD administrator that is configured to act as an IdM administrator.
- Method 1: a random password generated on an IdM server
Enter the following commands on any server in the domain:
Log in as the administrator.
$ kinit adminAdd the external system as an IdM host. Use the
--randomoption with theipa host-addcommand to generate a random one-time password to be used for the subsequent replica installation.$ ipa host-add replica.example.com --random -------------------------------------------------- Added host "replica.example.com" -------------------------------------------------- Host name: replica.example.com Random password: W5YpARl=7M.n Password: True Keytab: False Managed by: server.example.comThe generated password will become invalid after you use it to enroll the machine into the IdM domain. It will be replaced with a proper host keytab after the enrollment is finished.
Add the system to the
ipaservershost group.$ ipa hostgroup-add-member ipaservers --hosts replica.example.com Host-group: ipaservers Description: IPA server hosts Member hosts: server.example.com, replica.example.com ------------------------- Number of members added 1 -------------------------
참고Membership in the
ipaserversgroup grants the machine elevated privileges similar to the administrator’s credentials. Therefore, in the next step, theipa-replica-installutility can be run on the host successfully by a junior system administrator that provides the generated random password.- Method 2: a privileged user’s credentials
Using this method, you authorize the replica installation by providing a privileged user’s credentials. The default privileged user is
admin.No action is required prior to running the IdM replica installation utility. Add the principal name and password options (
--principal admin --admin-password password) to theipa-replica-installcommand directly during the installation.
