DAL version 6.0 removed support for a callback to free principal. This broke KDB drivers which had complex e_data structure within the principal structure. As result, FreeIPA KDB driver was leaking memory with DAL version 6.0 (krb5 1.15). DAL version 6.1 added a special callback for freeing e_data structure. See details at krb5/krb5#596 Restructure KDB driver code to provide this callback in case we are built against DAL version that supports it. For DAL version prior to 6.0 use this callback in the free_principal callback to tidy the code. Use explicit KDB version dependency in Fedora 26+ via BuildRequires. With new DAL version, freeipa package will fail to build and we'll have to add a support for new DAL version explicitly. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6619 Reviewed-By: Simo Sorce <ssorce@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Robbie Harwood <rharwood@redhat.com>
IPA Server
Overview
--------
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
managment 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 (LDAP)
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page
* KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Main_Page
* PKI based on Dogtag project
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page
* Samba libraries for Active Directory integration

* DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
