Feature: Let Identity Management client installer accept a fixed set of Identity Management servers and circumvent automatic server discovery via DNS SRV records.
Reason: Some network environments may contain SRV records which are not suitable for Identity Management client and should not be used by the client at all. Client installer should provide options to ignore such records.
Result (if any): --fixed-primary option of ipa-client-install can now be used to configure SSSD to not use DNS SRV records to auto-discover Identity Management servers. The client install script now also accepts a fixed list of Identity Management servers which is then passed to SSSD.

added extra check to make sure server is specified with --fixed-server option
These two patches add a --fixed-server option to ipa-client-install. This specifies that this client connects to a specific ipa server, and not to _srv_ discovered servers.
This is helpful in a situation where you don't have control of the dns servers and are sharing a dns domain name with a windows domain.
Upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2841 Fixed upstream: master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/29fd982f7f3bf4b94a8420fdfb307ed9c43c515c --fixed-primary option of ipa-client-install can now be used to omit _srv_ from sssd.conf. Multiple IPA servers can now be also entered in --server option in ipa-client-install which will then set multiple IPA/Kerberos servers in sssd.conf/krb5.conf to improve redundancy. *** Bug 810793 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since Trusts feature is Tech Preview, this bz will be verified in a non-AD env. bug verified. test env; 1 standalone dns server 2 ipa server without dns setup 3 ipa client: test for comparison: [root@apple (RH6.4-i386) ~] ipa-client-install --domain=yzhang.redhat.com --server=grape.yzhang.redhat.com --principal=admin --password=Secret123 -U Hostname: apple.yzhang.redhat.com Realm: YZHANG.REDHAT.COM DNS Domain: yzhang.redhat.com IPA Server: grape.yzhang.redhat.com BaseDN: dc=yzhang,dc=redhat,dc=com Synchronizing time with KDC...

Created attachment 591044 [details] add --fixed-server option to not add _srv_ entry to ipa_server in sssd.conf Description of problem: ipa-client-install always adds _srv_ entry to sssd.conf even when server specified Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Create new ipa server in a dns domain that you don't have complete control over, meaning you can't add srv records (or modify current existing windows ad records), so you have to create a separate kerberos realm, say ipa.example.com. ipa-client-install --server=server.example.com --domain -example.com --realm IPA.EXAMPLE.COM Install succeeds, but has an error Unable to find 'admin' user with 'getent passwd admin'! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ipa client with above command Actual results: Unable to find 'admin' user with 'getent passwd admin'! Expected results: No errors Additional info:
