David Kupka a726e98f03 Create system users for FreeIPA services during package installation
Previously system users needed by FreeIPA server services was created during
ipa-server-install. This led to problem when DBus policy was configured during
package installation but the user specified in the policy didn't exist yet
(and potentionally similar ones). Now the users will be created in package %pre
section so all users freeipa-server package needs exist before any installation
or configuration begins.
Another possibility would be using systemd-sysusers(8) for this purpose but
given that systemd is not available during container build the traditional
approach is superior.
Also dirsrv and pkiuser users are no longer created by FreeIPA instead it
depends on 389ds and dogtag to create those users.

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 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:
