New classes for user and group names provide a convenient way to access the uid and primary gid of a user / gid of a group. The classes also provide chown() and chgrp() methods to simplify common operations. The wrappers are subclasses of builtin str type and behave like ordinary strings with additional features. The pwd and grp structs are retrieved once and then cached. Signed-off-by: Christian Heimes <cheimes@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Rob Crittenden <rcritten@redhat.com>
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

(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-upgradeverifies that the platform does not change between versions. To allow upgrades of old containers, sysupgrade maps$distro_containerto$distroplatform.- The container images come with authselect pre-configured with
sssd with-sudooption. The tasksmodify_nsswitch_pam_stackandmigrate_auth_configurationare no-ops.ipa-restoredoes not restore authselect settings.ipa-backupstill stores authselect settings in backup data. - The
--mkhomediroption is not supported.
