Client Configuration Guide, No RHEL4 IPA rpm's to configure RHEL4 as IPA Client
Last modified: 2015-01-04 18:38:56 EST
Description of problem: As per the below documentation http://freeipa.org/docs/1.2/Client_Setup_Guide/en-US/html/sect-Client_Configuration_Guide-Configuring_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Clients-Configuring_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_4_as_an_IPA_Client.html To configure RHEL4 as IPA client, we need to Download and install RHEL4 IPA client RPM from the "Downloads" section of the appropriate Red Hat Enterprise Linux IPA channel from RHN. But there is no RHEL4 IPA channel at all. i.e I don't see RHEL4 ipa rpms' (client or server on RHN). This documentation is confusing , Is there any other Doc. for configuring RHEL4 as IPA client or should be using RHEL3 method ? I guess the documentation should be updated as the same is being reflected in https://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_IPA/1.0/html/Client_Configuration_Guide/sect-Client_Configuration_Guide-Configuring_RHEL_4_as_an_IPA_Client-Downloading_and_Installing_the_IPA_Packages.html
There is no RHEL 4 IPA channel. To get the RHEL 4 rpms you get them from the only IPA channel there is on RHN, which happens to be RHEL 5, in the Downloads section. I don't understand your documentation reference because the content is literally the same, down to the section number.
Hello I apologize for not seeing it correctly , i assumed that RHEL4 ipa rpm's would under RHEL4 Tree under RHN. Thanks for correcting me, Regards Niranjan
No worries, it isn't very intuitive.
