Wasnt sure if FreeIPA was ok with hosts or is really insisting on dns (some other software does), but since Stephen cleared it up its the much easier solution to go for you.

Christian, (sorry for the dbl-post, but I forgot to hit reply-all so evidence of my n00b-ness is shared) Alright... I'll admit my ignorance. "I Don't know what I'm doing!" Would you be able to point me towards an instructable / how-to on that, please? Or is the hosts file solution simpler? B/c otherwise I'll try to do both and just show back up here at the list-serv, pouting. Thanks!

Re: [Freeipa-users] Standalone or VM instance of FreeIPA
Hi, A year or two back free vm's were easy to find/common, these days its quite hardmostly I look, give up and go build my own VM for the job. If you want to do some routeing in VMware vyatta do a free vm and it does dhcp as well. You can set up bind on your fedora VM just invent a domain, ive invented ipa.ac.nz and off you go. You just need 2 zone files forward and reverse, if need be I can post mine. There is an option to do an integrated dns but maybe dns has to be going first... regards Steven From: freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com [freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com] on behalf of Steven Bernstein [sber...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, 22 March 2011 5:43 a.m. To: freeipa-users@redhat.com Subject: [Freeipa-users] Standalone or VM instance of FreeIPA Hey there! Please forgive my n00b level question, but is there good documentation on setting up a test environment using FreeIPA? I'd like to tinker with this using VMware if possible. I took a cursory look on Google and Bing, but mostly found pay-for VM Appliances. I really would like to learn how to set it up (with the help of the install scripts... I'm not scared of install work, but those scripts were created for a reason) My point is: When I go to run the installation script on my Fedora box, it tells me the script cannot be run unless the IP resolves in both directions. Is there a 'decent' way to go 'round this? Looking for help, if you please. Thanks so much!

This is a good way to bootstrap the system if you're planning to use FreeIPA v2 as a DNS server as well. Once setup is complete you can point /etc/resolv.conf at the FreeIPA server you just set up. - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
