The FreeIPA uses its own classes for managing temp files and
directories for tests. One of its underlying low-level functions
is `mkdtemp`.
According to documentation for `mkdtemp`:
```
If dir is not None, the file will be created in that directory; otherwise, a
default directory is used. The default directory is chosen from a
platform-dependent list, but the user of the application can control the
directory location by setting the TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP environment variables.
```
It's actually the truth,
/usr/lib64/python3.7/tempfile.py:
```
def _candidate_tempdir_list():
"""Generate a list of candidate temporary directories which
_get_default_tempdir will try."""
dirlist = []
# First, try the environment.
for envname in 'TMPDIR', 'TEMP', 'TMP':
dirname = _os.getenv(envname)
if dirname: dirlist.append(dirname)
# Failing that, try OS-specific locations.
if _os.name == 'nt':
dirlist.extend([ _os.path.expanduser(r'~\AppData\Local\Temp'),
_os.path.expandvars(r'%SYSTEMROOT%\Temp'),
r'c:\temp', r'c:\tmp', r'\temp', r'\tmp' ])
else:
dirlist.extend([ '/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp' ])
```
For now, there is a hardcoded assertion of a temp directory (`/tmp`) in
IPA tests. But some systems use the mentioned environment variables
(for example, pam_mktemp https://www.openhub.net/p/pam_mktemp).
It's easy to check an actual temp dir via `gettempdir`.

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
