[Freeipa-users] Can I change an IPA client's IPA without re-enrolling it?

2013-03-06 Thread Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 
Hi Everyone,

The subject says it all. 

I'm using IPA in CentOS 6. I know for a hostname change on a client, I'd
have to uninstall the IPA client, change the hostname, and then
reinstall it.  But, I don't know if that holds true for IPs.

Would a simple IP change require the uninstall/change/install steps?

Regards,

Ranbir

A re-install should not be necessary. Just be sure that forward and 
reverse name resolution works after making the change (something we test 
for during install).

 Thanks. I'll give it a go.
 
 I just saw the typo in my subject.  Fail.  :P

Ranbir, you may also want to check --enable-dns-updates flag of
ipa-client-install. It will configure SSSD to automatically run nsupdate when
host IP changes. This would let you avoid manual DNS record changes.
