IPA server of version 2.2 and higher supports Kerberos S4U2Proxy delegation, i.e. ipa command no longer forwards Kerberos TGT to the server during authentication. However, when IPA client of version 2.2 and higher tries to join an older IPA server, the installer crashes because the pre-2.2 server expects the TGT to be forwarded. This patch adds a fallback to ipa-client-install which would detect this situation and tries connecting with TGT forwarding enabled again. User is informed about this incompatibility. Missing realm was also added to keytab kinit as it was reported to fix occasional install issues. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2697
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
