Ah, that was good to know, you’re converting a plain LDAP + Kerberos setup to IPA with integrated LDAP, integrated Kerberos and integrated DNS. What’s important to know is that you cannot really cleanly convert that as the Kerberos tabs will have to be updated. With such a change, updating the

Hey John, Awesome response :) But I am not setting any dns records by hand. I did it *prior* to FreeIPA. We are using naked Kerberos and ldap as-is. So thats where the DNS RR are coming from. Does "Dont run IPA on a domain thats in use" mean "entire domain" or "Subdomain is OK"? kdcproxy..

In that case, you’re doing it wrong ;-) Don’t manually make DNS records, it’s not needed unless you disable the built in DNS server in IPA. Also, don’t try to run IPA on a domain that’s in use for something else. Keeping it simple and ’standard’ will help you a ton here. For example, if you

What you are trying to do is possible but not recommended. If you make a distinction between what you want your users to ’see’ and what your domain technically should be you can probably resolve it. For IPA, it’s important that the domain for the built in DNS server is not used. That means: do

Hey John, Thanks for a speedy reply! Sure helped a lot understanding, tho a pity that some clients simply require a "a/cname" and do not look up any srv, like pfsense. And your reverse proxy idea is neat. Just one issue, either technical or lack of understanding: So I went ahead for the domain

A HA-aware client would use SRV records to locate the server(s) and then connect every returned instance until a working server is found. And by using locations you can scope the servers you get back. Regarding the single URL: while there are many options, we decided to simply register all
