    New Contents:
Cause: By default the IPA web UI adds a redirect from the web root to /ipa/up.
Consequence: This makes it appear that no other web resources may be used.
Fix: At install time the option --no-ui-redirect can be used to disable the default Rewrite rule. This may also be commented out manually in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ipa-rewrite.conf.
Result: The web server root can point wherever the customer would like. /ipa needs to remain available to IPA though.

Installation without --no-ui-redirect option:


[root@decepticons ~]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/ipa-rewrite.conf
# VERSION 2 - DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE

RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite.log

==============================================================================
Setup complete

Next steps:
        1. You must make sure these network ports are open:
                TCP Ports:
                  * 80, 443: HTTP/HTTPS
                  * 389, 636: LDAP/LDAPS
                  * 88, 464: kerberos
                UDP Ports:
                  * 88, 464: kerberos
                  * 123: ntp

        2. You can now obtain a kerberos ticket using the command: 'kinit admin'
           This ticket will allow you to use the IPA tools (e.g., ipa user-add)
           and the web user interface.

Be sure to back up the CA certificate stored in /root/cacert.p12
This file is required to create replicas. The password for this
file is the Directory Manager password

Summary     : The IPA authentication server
Description :
IPA is an integrated solution to provide centrally managed Identity (machine,
user, virtual machines, groups, authentication credentials), Policy
(configuration settings, access control information) and Audit (events,
logs, analysis thereof). If you are installing an IPA server you need
to install this package (in other words, most people should NOT install
this package).
