.SH "NAME"
default.conf \- IPA configuration file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
/etc/ipa/default.conf, ~/.ipa/default.conf, /etc/ipa/server.conf, /etc/ipa/cli.conf
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The \fI default.conf \fR configuration file is used to set system\- wide defaults to be applied when running IPA clients and servers.
Users may create an optional configuration file in \fI ~/.ipa/default.conf\fR which will be merged into the system\- wide defaults file.
The following files are read, in order:
.nf
~/.ipa/default.conf
/etc/ipa/<context>.conf
/etc/ipa/default.conf
built\- in constants
.fi
The IPA server does not read ~/.ipa/default.conf.
The first setting wins.
.SH "SYNTAX"
The configuration options are not case sensitive. The values may be case sensitive, depending on the option.
Blank lines are ignored.
Lines beginning with # are comments and are ignored.
Valid lines consist of an option name, an equals sign and a value. Spaces surrounding equals sign are ignored. An option terminates at the end of a line.
Values should not be quoted, the quotes will not be stripped.

add session manager and cache krb auth
This patch adds a session manager and support for caching
authentication in the session. Major elements of the patch are:
* Add a session manager to support cookie based sessions which
stores session data in a memcached entry.
* Add ipalib/krb_utils.py which contains functions to parse ccache
names, format principals, format KRB timestamps, and a KRB_CCache
class which reads ccache entry and allows one to extract information
such as the principal, credentials, credential timestamps, etc.
* Move krb constants defined in ipalib/rpc.py to ipa_krb_utils.py so
that all kerberos items are co-located.
* Modify javascript in ipa.js so that the IPA.command() RPC call
checks for authentication needed error response and if it receives
it sends a GET request to /ipa/login URL to refresh credentials.
* Add session_auth_duration config item to constants.py, used to
configure how long a session remains valid.
* Add parse_time_duration utility to ipalib/util.py. Used to parse the
session_auth_duration config item.
* Update the default.conf.5 man page to document session_auth_duration
config item (also added documentation for log_manager config items
which had been inadvertantly omitted from a previous commit).
* Add SessionError object to ipalib/errors.py
* Move Kerberos protection in Apache config from /ipa to /ipa/xml and
/ipa/login
* Add SessionCCache class to session.py to manage temporary Kerberos
ccache file in effect for the duration of an RPC command.
* Adds a krblogin plugin used to implement the /ipa/login
handler. login handler sets the session expiration time, currently
60 minutes or the expiration of the TGT, whichever is shorter. It
also copies the ccache provied by mod_auth_kerb into the session
data. The json handler will later extract and validate the ccache
belonging to the session.
* Refactored the WSGI handlers so that json and xlmrpc could have
independent behavior, this also moves where create and destroy
context occurs, now done in the individual handler rather than the
parent class.
* The json handler now looks up the session data, validates the ccache
bound to the session, if it's expired replies with authenicated
needed error.
* Add documentation to session.py. Fully documents the entire process,
got questions, read the doc.
* Add exclusions to make-lint as needed.

Specifies whether requests should be forwarded to an IPA server or handled locally. This is used internally by IPA in a similar way as context. The same IPA framework is used by the ipa command\- line tool and the server. This setting tells the framework whether it should execute the command as if on the server or forward it via XML\- RPC to a remote server.
.TP
.B in_tree <boolean>

When the parameter is not set in default.conf, the ticket will have a duration inherited from the default value for kerberos clients, that can be set as ticket_lifetime in krb5.conf. When the ticket lifetime has expired, the ticket is not valid anymore and the GUI will prompt to re-login with a message "Your session has expired. Please re-login."

by a list of regular expressions bound to a level. If a logger's
name matches the regexp then it is assigned that level. This config item
must begin with "log_logger_level_" and then be
followed by a symbolic or numeric log level, for example:
.IP
log_logger_level_debug = ipalib\\ .dn\\ ..*
.IP
log_logger_level_35 = ipalib\\ .plugins\\ .dogtag
.IP
The first line says any logger belonging to the ipalib.dn module
will have it's level configured to debug.
.IP
The second line say the ipa.plugins.dogtag logger will be
configured to level 35.
.IP
This config item is useful when you only want to see the log output from
one or more selected loggers. Turning on the global debug flag will produce
an enormous amount of output. This allows you to leave the global debug flag
off and selectively enable output from a specific logger. Typically loggers
are bound to classes and plugins.
.IP
Note: logger names are a dot ('.') separated list forming a path
in the logger tree. The dot character is also a regular
expression metacharacter (matches any character) therefore you
will usually need to escape the dot in the logger names by
2015-10-05 07:44:04 -05:00

2011-02-23 10:55:32 -06:00

.TP
.B ra_plugin <name>
2013-03-27 07:48:36 -05:00
Specifies the name of the CA back end to use. The current options are \fB dogtag\fR and \fB none\fR . This is a server\- side setting. Changing this value is not recommended as the CA back end is only set up during initial installation.
2011-02-23 10:55:32 -06:00

.TP
2019-07-05 12:31:32 -05:00

.TP
2012-10-17 07:27:26 -05:00
.B startup_timeout <time in seconds>
Controls the amount of time waited when starting a service. The default value is 120 seconds.
.TP
2011-02-23 10:55:32 -06:00
.B startup_traceback <boolean>
If the IPA server fails to start and this value is True the server will attempt to generate a python traceback to make identifying the underlying problem easier.
.TP
.B validate_api <boolean>
Used internally in the IPA source package to verify that the API has not changed. This is used to prevent regressions. If it is true then some errors are ignored so enough of the IPA framework can be loaded to verify all of the API, even if optional components are not installed. The default is False.
.TP
2012-10-17 07:27:26 -05:00
.B verbose <boolean>
When True provides more information. Specifically this sets the global log level to "info".

2014-04-02 04:04:07 -05:00

Controls whether the IPA commands dnsrecord\- {add,mod,del} work synchronously or not. The DNS commands will repeat DNS queries up to the specified number of attempts until the DNS server returns an up-to-date answer to a query for modified records. Delay between retries is one second.
.IP
The DNS commands will raise a DNSDataMismatch exception if the answer doesn't match the expected value even after the specified number of attempts.
.IP
The DNS queries will be sent to the resolver configured in /etc/resolv.conf on the IPA server.
.IP
Do not enable this in production! This will cause problems if the resolver on IPA server uses a caching server instead of a local authoritative server or e.g. if DNS answers are modified by DNS64. The default is disabled (the option is not present).

.TP
.B jsonrpc_uri <URI>
Specifies the URI of the JSON server for a client. This is used by IPA. If not given, it is derived from xmlrpc_uri. Example: https://ipa.example.com/ipa/json
