Re: [Freeipa-users] Do clients have to be in teh same DNS zone / FQDN as the IPA servers / Kerberos Realm?

 but Im getting hammered by my management for instant answers...they
asked last night and expect an answer this morning.and I'm expected to
catch up and deploy several important solutions/projects all hinging on IPA
  ASAP...

 2.2 isnt in RHEL6.3 though?


Are you using fedora, centos or rhel?

The last bit implies rhel but then you seem to desire an SLA and a response
on the upstream users' mailing list

Although there are a large number of people here using IPA along with
redhat developers might I suggest for a critical thing where you need an
answer within 24 hours you are better off following the standard support
channels of your RHEL contract?

If you don't have a support contract now could be a good time to explain to
management that if they require quick answers then they need to pay for
them... if they do things on the cheap then they require patience...

My IPA servers are say  ipa1 and 2.ipa.example.com

I have existing linux servers that I would rather not change the FQDN on, say 
server1.example.com Do I actually have to make the client 
server1.ipa.example.com or can I leave it as is at server1.example.com? Would 
that give any IPA problems? or is it just poor practice?

That's not really fair, it hasn't even been 24 hours.

Yes, you should be able to enroll server1.example.com into the 
ipa.example.com realm. You'll need a v2.2+ client for this to work. A 
patch was added (contributed by a user, actually) that will add a domain 
mapping to krb5.conf so this should work.

Hi,

Sorry.

but Im getting hammered by my management for instant answers...they asked 
last night and expect an answer this morning.and I'm expected to catch up 
and deploy several important solutions/projects all hinging on IPA   ASAP...

2.2 isnt in RHEL6.3 though?

Anyway I will leave it longer, but Qs seem to drop off the list pretty 
quickly...
