Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4981

ipa-client-install uses NTP SRV records to do first synchronization.

However, ipa-client-install without --ntp-server option, always configure IPA server as time source (/etc/ntp.conf), even if ntpd is not configured on server, respectively NTP SRV records are pointing to different server.

Expected behavior:

Servers discovered trough SRV records are added as NTP source. If none is found, then IPA server is used.

note: --ntp-server option can now be used multiple times to specify multiple ntp servers.

master:
* e395bdb911ebf69fbf6b3e1c9e0e148a9600bd90 ipa client: make --ntp-server option multivalued
* e55d8ee5d4649b2fd35aa6f29ed2a8f60088d1a8 ipa client: use NTP servers detected from SRV
