My pleasure. I'll forward to the list as well. We do active
development on F15, so you should get pretty good responses from the
Developers. We're always in #freeipa on freenode.

Thanks, Adam! I'm going to eval RHEL and will grab a copy of F15 beta
for testing as well.

I'm new to FreeIPA and this list so please forgive me for the n00b
questions. I have what I think is a pretty straight-forward use for
FreeIPA. We have an Active Directory environment with a few hundred
users. We are starting to increase our number of Macs and need a
directory solution. There are some issues with Macs in AD which
Apple doesn't seem interested in addressing. Open Directory would be
nice if we only had Macs but it doesn't allow for syncing accounts
to AD, so it won't work for us.
Based on what I've read about FreeIPA, it seems like it would be a
good fit for us.
The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to even get FreeIPA
installed. I've tried using Fedora 10 with all the latest updates.
I've tried adding different .repo files I've found on the various
FreeIPA pages, but none of them seem to be working for me.
So, my questions are:
1) What is the best distro for running FreeIPA. I'd rather not
purchase RHEL, so it sounds like Fedora is the way to go. I just
finished downloading Fedora 14 and will give that a try unless
someone recommends something else.
WHile FreeIPA 2.0 has gone GA, it is only supported in Fedora15,
which is currently in Beta. I'd start with that.
2) Is version 2 highly recommended over version 1 or does version 1
have sufficient features to use it in a production environment?
Essentially, we have about 30 current Macs users (and growing) that
we want to create accounts for in FreeIPA and have sync'd to AD (or
vice versa). The users will need the ability to change their passwords.
Yes, there are so many features in 2.0 that you are going to want.
3) What is the best way to install FreeIPA? I'm having problems with
yum (see errors below) so I was wondering if there was another way,
e.g., RPMs.
If you havea F14 Machine installed for testing, upgrade it to F15
Beta, and youi can do yum install freeipa-server. If you want DNS
support, be sure to install the DNS Bind rpm that makes it talk to
the LDAP store as well: bind-dyndb-ldap
# yum install freeipa-server
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
