Yes, this is IPA v1. Those options are only available in IPA v2 which is current in alpha. You can try it at http://www.freeipa.org/page/Downloads We had the documentation in the wiki originally but it was incredibly difficult to keep that and our docbook-based documentation in sync so we dropped the wiki version. The git repo for the documentation is at http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/ipadocs.git Ah, I always considered it a specificity/sensitivity issue; the official docs would have less info but would be more accurate, whereas the wiki would be far more info but with less accuracy. I'll check out the docs in git, thanks! Sure rob ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
[Freeipa-users] updated FreeIPA documentation?
Let me start by saying I work at a software development co; I get it - so this isn't a harsh at all. However, the latest docs I could find ( http://freeipa.org/docs/2.0.0/Installation_Deployment_Guide/en-US/html/ ) seem a bit outdated already. For example, this section: --- Procedure 3.1. To install the IPA server interactively: Run the following command: - ipa-server-install - Enter the server's host name, realm name and other details when prompted. When installing the master IPA server, the start values for the UID and GID ranges are automatically set to a random value between 1,000,000 and (2^31 - 1,000,000). You can pass the --uidstart and --gidstart options to the ipa-server-installcommand to specify different starting values if desired. - At this point, uidstart and gidstart don't appear to be valid flags to ipa-server-install; this is unfortunate, because I'd really rather not start at a number that high (while not my personal reason for wanting a smaller number, older machines won't accept uid's that large...some won't accept UIDs higher than 65535, in fact). That document also references that it requires Fedora 9 or 10 - while we're now pushing on rawhide at 14, and describes nscd while the default/suggested cache provider in current versions is sssd, etc. Is there anything a bit more current? Is there a wiki documentation project (none shows in a couple minutes of google searching)? If there's nothing more current, I'd be happy to update whatever is where ever while I'm going through it myself.
