Hi,
I am using freeipa in a rhel6 environment with ipa-3.0.0-37.el6 client.
I am working on doing an unattended ipa client installation. I have it
working with the following….
/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install -p admin -w <admin_password> -U --no-ntp
While this works, while it runs, the <admin_password> value is visable
in the output of a ps –ef command on the host when installing the ipa
client.
# ps -ef |grep ipa
root 30284 30283 43 03:31 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/python -E
/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install -p admin -w <plain_text_password> -U --no-ntp
This represents a challenge to security, even though its only minor
(as in its only there for a minute or so), but its still there and it
is the admin password.
Can ipa-client-install be updated to include a parameter to retrieve
the admin password from a file? i.e.
Try it with '-W < pwfile'.

Right, you can just pipe the password to the installer.
More obvious ways to specify passwords for installers are planned for
