Many test scenarios need to configure resolvers on test machines. Most notable patterns are: * using IPA master as DNS resolver on clients and replicas * intentionally breaking name resolution Now it is done by directly editing /etc/resolv.conf file. While being simple this approach has following issues: * NetworkManager restores this file periodically and on specific events * This is not how users are expected to manage resolvers on modern systems with NetworkManager and systemd-resolved. This patch introduces three classes for main types of resolvers management: * plain file * NetworkManager * systemd-resolved For each resolver manager the native way of configuring of nameserves is used: direct editing for /etc/resolv.conf or drop-in config files for NM and resolved. The type of resolver is automatically detected for each host and an appropriate instance is added to Host object. The Resolver class (and it's subclasses) provide convenience functions for changing nameservers and restoring the original config. During all operations (backup, modify, restore) it checks that resolver configuration has not been altered unexpectedly and raises exception if it was. This helps to detect unexpected changes in resolvers. Related to https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/8703 Reviewed-By: Florence Blanc-Renaud <flo@redhat.com>
FreeIPA Server
FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity, authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems by providing simple to install and use command line and web based management tools.
FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation of installation and configuration tasks.
FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.
Benefits
FreeIPA:
- Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials and security settings
- Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in an authenticated and secure way
- Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services and files only to specific users
- Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords, SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules
- Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users
- Integrates into Active Directory environments
Components
The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management tools for the following components:
- LDAP Server - based on the 389 project
- KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
- PKI based on Dogtag project
- Samba libraries for Active Directory integration
- DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
