Alexander Bokovoy cc763d78cc config-mod: allow disabling subordinate ID integration
When full 32-bit ID range usage is required, subordinate ID support have
to be disabled. However, even if ID range for subordinate IDs were to be
removed, it will be restored during the next data upgrade.

Change upgrade code to only apply subID range creation when subID
support is enabled.

Do not allow allocating subIDs if their use is disabled.

Allow full 32-bit uidNumber/gidNumber values in JSON payload.

IPA platform abstraction

The ipaplatform package provides an abstraction layer for supported Linux distributions and flavors. The package contains constants, paths to commands and config files, services, and tasks.

  • base abstract base platform
  • debian Debian- and Ubuntu-like
  • redhat abstract base for Red Hat platforms
  • fedora Fedora
  • fedora_container freeipa-container on Fedora
  • rhel RHEL and CentOS
  • rhel_container freeipa-container on RHEL and CentOS
  • suse OpenSUSE and SLES
[base]
  ├─ debian
  ├─[redhat]
  │   ├─ fedora
  │   │   └─ fedora_container
  │   └─ rhel
  │       └─ rhel_container
  └─ suse

(Note: Debian and SUSE use some definitions from Red Hat namespace.)

freeipa-container platform

The fedora_container and rhel_container platforms are flavors of the fedora and rhel platforms. These platform definitions are specifically designed for freeipa-container. The FreeIPA server container implements a read-only container. Paths like /etc, /usr, and /var are mounted read-only and cannot be modified. The image uses symlinks to store all variable data like config files and LDAP database in /data.

  • Some commands don't write through dangling symlinks. The IPA platforms for containers prefix some paths with /data.
  • ipa-server-upgrade verifies that the platform does not change between versions. To allow upgrades of old containers, sysupgrade maps $distro_container to $distro platform.
  • The container images come with authselect pre-configured with sssd with-sudo option. The tasks modify_nsswitch_pam_stack and migrate_auth_configuration are no-ops. ipa-restore does not restore authselect settings. ipa-backup still stores authselect settings in backup data.
  • The --mkhomedir option is not supported.
