There are two sides to this, the server and client side. On the server side we attempt to add a defaultNamingContext on already installed servers. This will fail on older 389-ds instances but the failure is not fatal. New installations on versions of 389-ds that support this attribute will have it already defined. On the client side we need to look for both defaultNamingContext and namingContexts. We still need to check that the defaultNamingContext is an IPA server (info=IPAV2). The migration change also takes advantage of this and adds a new option which allows one to provide a basedn to use instead of trying to detect it. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1919 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2314
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.
