Hi, Rakesh


Try 'ipa-client-install' with this option '--fixed-primary'. with it, '_srv_' 
will disappeared 


From man page:
   --fixed-primary
  Configure  SSSD  to use a fixed server as the primary IPA server. 
The default is to
  use DNS SRV records to determine the primary server to use and  
fall  back  to  the
  server  the client is enrolled with. When used in conjunction 
with --server then no
  _srv_ value is set in the ipa_server option in sssd.conf.

After running the ipa-client, the _srv_ was automatically added . The configs 
options I passed for configuring the host as a IPA client is

ipa-client-install --domain=mydomain.com --server=ipa-master-int.mydomain.com 
--realm=MYDOMAIN.COM -p admin --password=mypass --mkhomedir 
--hostname=first-client-int.mydomain.com --no-ssh --no-sshd -N -f -U



While configuring  IPA server , I did not pass the setup-dns options.( that 
avoids setting up the dns server I assume )


ipa-server-install -r 'MYDOMAIN.COM' -n 'mydomain.com' -p mypass -P mypass -a 
mypass --hostname=ipa-master-int.mydomain.com -N -U


So, I did not explicitly specify the _srv_ options. However, this has been 
working fine till now.

sorry that was a typo from my side .

Its actually 
ipa_server = _srv_, ipa-master-mydomain.com, ipa-replica-mydomain.com.

your understanding is correct. server priority is based on sequence in conf 
file. There is a problem for this configuration. Once 'ipa1' failed, all id 
lookup/authentication will be happened with 'ipa2'. Even 'ipa1' was back, all 
clients will be sticky on 'ipa2'

Hi,


My Freeipa setup is on AWS ec2 instances and has been working fine with just 
one master for a while now.


I am now trying to setup replica servers which, I was able to and the 
replication between both masters go fine.


So, I have a master serer ipa-master-mydomain.com and repilca 
ipa-replica-mydomain.com



I am not using DNS and rely on AWS for DNS resolution instead.


My question is , how do I tell clients about the new replica server .


I tried an entry in the sssd.conf domain section of the clients


id_provider = ipa
auth_provider = ipa
ipa_server = _srv_, ipa-master-mydomain.com, repilca ipa-replica-mydomain.com



This approach works fine and clients reach out to the replica as a failover. 
However, wanted to verify if this is the correct way.


Also, can I define priority based on the order in which the IPA servers are 
defined in 

ipa_server = _srv_ ,,


If the above assumption is right, I could have half of my clients connect to 
master always and rest to the replica that way balancing the load.



Thanks

After running the ipa-client, the _srv_ was automatically added . The

For my understanding, there is something wrong with your configuration


>> ipa_server = _srv_, ipa-master-mydomain.com, repilca ipa-replica-mydomain.com


Firstly, '_srv_' means clients will find out which servers will be connected 
with by dns srv records. In your explanation, DNS did not configure in your env.


Secondly, 'replica' key words ? I can not find it from man pages of sssd-ipa. 
is it really working fine? 


>>Also, can I define priority based on the order in which the IPA servers are

>>ipa_server = _srv_ ,,


your understanding is correct. server priority is based on sequence in conf 
file. There is a problem for this configuration. Once 'ipa1' failed, all id 
lookup/authentication will be happened with 'ipa2'. Even 'ipa1' was back, all 
clients will be sticky on 'ipa2'


So, I suggested to configure it in this way:
ipa_server = 
ipa_backup_server = 


For another half clients, 
ipa_server = 

ipa_backup_server =
