Red Hat Summit14.4. Installing a client: Non-interactive installation
For a non-interactive installation, you must provide all required information to the ipa-client-install utility using command-line options. The following sections describe the minimum required options for a non-interactive installation.
- Options for the intended authentication method for client enrollment
The available options are:
-
--principaland--passwordto specify the credentials of a user authorized to enroll clients -
--randomto specify a one-time random password generated for the client -
--keytabto specify the keytab from a previous enrollment
-
- The option for unattended installation
The
--unattendedoption lets the installation run without requiring user confirmation.If the SRV records are set properly in the IdM DNS zone, the script automatically discovers all the other required values. If the script cannot discover the values automatically, provide them using command-line options, such as:
--hostnameto specify a static fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the client machine.중요The FQDN must be a valid DNS name:
- Only numbers, alphabetic characters, and hyphens (-) are allowed. For example, underscores are not allowed and can cause DNS failures.
- The host name must be all lower-case. No capital letters are allowed.
-
--domainto specify the primary DNS domain of an existing IdM deployment, such asexample.com. The name is a lowercase version of the IdM Kerberos realm name. -
--serverto specify the FQDN of the IdM server to connect to. When this option is used, DNS autodiscovery for Kerberos is disabled and a fixed list of KDC and Admin servers is configured. Under normal circumstances, this option is not needed as the list of servers is retrieved from the primary IdM DNS domain. -
--realmto specify the Kerberos realm of an existing IdM deployment. Usually it is an uppercase version of the primary DNS domain used by the IdM installation. Under normal circumstances, this option is not needed as the realm name is retrieved from the IdM server.
An example of a basic ipa-client-install command for non-interactive installation:
# ipa-client-install --password 'W5YpARl=7M.n' --mkhomedir --unattendedAn example of an ipa-client-install command for non-interactive installation with more options specified:
# ipa-client-install --password 'W5YpARl=7M.n' --domain <domain_name> --server <server_hostname> --realm <realm-name> --mkhomedir --unattended
