Description Artur Szymczak 2014-04-17 06:53:22 UTC

Description of problem:
WHen you read FreeIPA Fedora Guide: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/FreeIPA_Guide/installing-ipa.html#Preparing_for_an_IPA_Installation-Configuring_Networking it says:
[quote]
 The default networking service used by Fedora is NetworkManager, and due to the way this service works, it can cause problems with FreeIPA and the KDC. Consequently, it is highly recommended that you use the network service to manage the networking requirements in a FreeIPA environment and disable the NetworkManager service.
[/quote]
It is highly recommended to use NetworkManager instead of network service, because of systemd, and all related to it stuff. So I think it should be fied in doc, or in FreeIPA itself.
Btw, it should be writed, why we should disable NetworkManager (some more details) if it is still accurate.

Comment 2 Martin Kosek 2014-10-15 10:55:11 UTC

FreeIPA upstream project no longer actively maintains an upstream guide (details in www.freeipa.org/page/Upstream_User_Guide). The only actively maintained user information is therefore upstream community wiki (FreeIPA.org) and RHEL downstream user guides (http://www.freeipa.org/page/Documentation#User_Guides).

Please file upstream tickets or RHEL documentation Bugzillas to request additional fixes or enhancements in these guides. Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.
