In order to reduce maintenance burden and to be able to use automatic build tools, bring up the differences between RPM spec files in upstream, RHEL, and Fedora to a minimum. This gives us an opportunity to: - start using proper conditional macros (%bcond_with/%bcond_without) - remove old cruft where Fedora 31+ and RHEL8+ are already the same - remove Group lines which already deprecated in Fedora packaging policy - remove buildroot cleanup - support release candidate designations: mostly affects downstreams but it is better to have macro support in the common spec file. There is also a special handling of the %SOURCE1 (detached tarball signature). In developer builds we wouldn't have the signature generated but RPM needs all files mentioned as sources and patches to exist. The solution is to filter out detached signature if the final component of the IPA_VERSION starts with 'dev'. This should cover both in-source builds (also used in Azure CI and COPR) and PR CI.

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
