Hi guys,
we are planning to install 150 freeipa clients and I was wondering
if there is a way to easily install (from kickstart) nfsv4 client.
I can add host with
# ipa host-add --password=secret
But to get the keytab (host and service), I have to log into the
machine, launch kinit and get the keytab.
This will be very painful for 150 clients ....
Any hints is welcome ...

Hi,
I am working on integrating what you are asking for into
OneClickKick. OneClickKick which is a web based GUI for managing DHCP
server and PXE booting. The current version can read the host objects
from IPA's LDAP, and you can use these to generate PXE boot files for
kickstarting RHEL/Fedora, preseeding Debian/Ubuntu installations, do
BIOS upgrades, run LIVE environments, etc.
What I have done in the past is to add a line like this to the post
section of the kickstart:
/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install --domain="ix.test.com"
--principal="ipajoinuser" --password="somepassword" -U -f
This is not ideal even though the kickstart is saved in a database
and only made available dynamically trough a php script to the host
that's enabled for kickstarting. It is not saved in a text file on
the disk. The next version will include tighter integration with IPA
where a One Time Password is set for the host being kickstarted at
the time it's enabled for kickstarting, and this password is seeded
dynamically when the host is served it's kickstart file.
The next version will also have the PXE Enrollment boot image updated
to supporting adding new hosts directly into IPA. The PXE Enrollment
is support for adding a new host simply to PXE booting it, logging
on, and giving it a hostname and assigning it with a kickstart
profile to load the machine directly from the console of the new
machine.
Adding of machines directly to IPA from the web UI will also be
available in the next version. This allows you to do everything from
adding the host, to selecting the kickstart profile group, and
enabling for PXE installation/kickstart in 1 step.
It can also search trough the /var/log/messages file to find new
hosts that's unknown to it's naming sources and directly add these.
You can also select a group of machine to install, so if you have
your 150 machines in one group you can select the entire group for
installation.
See the project website or contact me for more information:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/oneclickkick/
Have you looked at Foreman?
Foreman did not exist back when I started working on OneClickKick.
I've not looked much into Foreman later.
Rgds,
Siggi
