第 5 章 Installing an IdM server: Without integrated DNS, with an integrated CA as the root CA


This chapter describes how you can install a new Identity Management (IdM) server without integrated DNS.

注意

Red Hat strongly recommends installing IdM-integrated DNS for basic usage within the IdM deployment: When the IdM server also manages DNS, there is tight integration between DNS and native IdM tools which enables automating some of the DNS record management.

For more details, see Planning your DNS services and host names.

During the interactive installation using the ipa-server-install utility, you are asked to supply basic configuration of the system, for example the realm, the administrator’s password and the Directory Manager’s password.

The ipa-server-install installation script creates a log file at /var/log/ipaserver-install.log. If the installation fails, the log can help you identify the problem.

This procedure installs a server:

  • Without integrated DNS
  • With integrated Identity Management (IdM) certificate authority (CA) as the root CA, which is the default CA configuration

Procedure

  1. Run the ipa-server-install utility.

    # ipa-server-install
  2. The script prompts to configure an integrated DNS service. Press Enter to select the default no option.

    Do you want to configure integrated DNS (BIND)? [no]:
  3. The script prompts for several required settings and offers recommended default values in brackets.

    • To accept a default value, press Enter.
    • To provide a custom value, enter the required value.

      Server host name [server.idm.example.com]:
      Please confirm the domain name [idm.example.com]:
      Please provide a realm name [IDM.EXAMPLE.COM]:
      警告

      Plan these names carefully. You will not be able to change them after the installation is complete.

  4. Enter the passwords for the Directory Server superuser (cn=Directory Manager) and for the IdM administration system user account (admin).

    Directory Manager password:
    IPA admin password:
  5. The script prompts for several required settings and offers recommended default values in brackets.

    • To accept a default value, press Enter.
    • To provide a custom value, enter the required value.

      NetBIOS domain name [EXAMPLE]:
      Do you want to configure chrony with NTP server or pool address? [no]:
  6. Enter yes to confirm the server configuration.

    Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: yes
  7. The installation script now configures the server. Wait for the operation to complete.
  8. The installation script produces a file with DNS resource records: the /tmp/ipa.system.records.UFRPto.db file in the example output below. Add these records to the existing external DNS servers. The process of updating the DNS records varies depending on the particular DNS solution.

    _kerberos-master._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.example.com.
    _kerberos-master._udp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.example.com.
    _kerberos._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.example.com.
    _kerberos._udp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.example.com.
    _kerberos.example.com. 86400 IN TXT "EXAMPLE.COM"
    _kpasswd._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 464 server.example.com.
    _kpasswd._udp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 464 server.example.com.
    _ldap._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 389 server.example.com.
    重要

    The server installation is not complete until you add the DNS records to the existing DNS servers.
