Adam,
I truly appreciate your persistence !
I tried using alien and it generated the .deb file successfully and
even installed the ipa client package without any error on the client
machine(Kubuntu 11.04). But when I run the *ipa-client-install*
command, it gave the following error,
*openway@dl-360:~/rpm$ sudo ipa-client-install *
*There was a problem importing one of the required Python modules. The*
*error was:*

* No module named ipaclient.ipadiscovery*
I'm guessing that this is a 64 bit system? It might be an arch issue.
IU know that Debian and RH mde different choices for 32 on 64.
RH/Fedora puts the Python code into
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/
Debian might be looking under /usr/lib/ for Python.
Try a 32bit RPM.

*openway@dl-360:~/rpm$*
I even created the deb file out of ipa-python package and installed it
on the kubuntu machine(without any error). Still, its the same. Any idea ?
Thanks and regards,
Nidal

Thanks indeed again for the reply. I went through the deployment
guide and installed and configured FreeIPA 2.0 on a RHEL 6.1 beta
machine for testing. I also configured the browsers on this
server and a client Kubuntu machine as per the guide. But I can't
find any doc which explain how to configure a client (kubuntu in
my case) for single sign on or even accessing a service like nfs
using the browser when native ipa-client package is not
available. All the docs are focused on configuring client
machines using ipa-client package. Is this possible? if so could
anyone suggest me some guide lines or docs for the same ?
Did you try installing the ipa-client rpms with Alien?
Thanks and Regards,
Nidal

Thanks for all the replies and great suggestions! I do
appreciate it a lot.
Apologies for being a bit confusing about the cetralized
/home foder in my previous mail. What I want is that all the
users should have their /home folder stored in the storage.
This entire partition (or LUN) can be attached to my
Authentication server(i.e FreeIPA) by using iSCSI. From the
Authentication server, I am NOT looking for iSCSI to get it
mounted to the individual users' machine. I think
NFS/automount would do that(appreciate any suggestion on
this !) And whenever a new user is created, /home should be
allocated out of this partition so that whichever machine
the user is using to login later, she should be able to
access the same /home specific to her regardless of the
machine. I hope it is clear to all :-)
Thanks and regards,

IPA manages Automount, which is possibly what you want.
Are you going to give each user their own partition that
follows them around, or are you going to give the a home
directory on a a NAS server? I Have to admit, the iSCSI
home mount sounds interesting. You could probably get
automount to help you out there, but at this point I
think that you would need a separate key line for each user.
Note that iSCSI won't help you if you want to mount the
same partition on multiple clients. For this, you
either need a distributed File System, or stick to NFS.
Nidal,
OK, I'd probably do something like this: After install IPA,
add one host as an IPA client with the following switch:
--mkhomedir,, something like ipa-client-install --mkhomedir
-p admin. Then, mount the directory that you are going to
use a /home on that machine. Once you create users in IPA,
the first time you log in as that user, do so from that
client, and it will attempt to create the home directory for
you. This should be the only machine that has permissions
to create directories under /home. Now, create an automount
location and map, and create a key for /home
The instructions from our test day should get you started:
