1.8. Installing packages required for an IdM server

Prerequisites

• You have a newly installed RHEL system.

• You have made the required repositories available:

  • If your RHEL system is not running in the cloud, you have registered your system with the Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM). For details, see Subscription Central. You have also enabled the BaseOS and AppStream repositories that IdM uses:

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-10-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
    # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-10-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms

    For details on how to enable and disable specific repositories using RHSM, see Subscription Central.

  • If your RHEL system is running in the cloud, skip the registration. The required repositories are already available via the Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI).

Procedure

• Choose one of the following options, depending on your IdM requirements:

  • To download the packages necessary for installing an IdM server without an integrated DNS:

    # dnf install ipa-server

  • To download the packages necessary for installing an IdM server with an integrated DNS:

    # dnf install ipa-server ipa-server-dns

  • To download the packages necessary for installing an IdM server that has a trust agreement with Active Directory:

    # dnf install ipa-server ipa-server-trust-ad samba-client
