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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-3.0.0-1.el6
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: Allow MAC address attribute for host entries in Identity Management and publish them in Identity Management NIS server. Reason: Administrators may want to assign MAC addresses for hosts configured in Identity Management and have it served for other services, like DHCP. Result (if any): Administrators may use --macaddress option to configure a MAC address(es) for an Identity Management host entry. When NIS is enabled, MAC address can be read via ethers map.

Description Dmitri Pal 2012-01-19 20:24:28 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2259

Ticket 1132 adds support for tracking the host MAC address.

Add a new NIS map for the ethers file taking advantage of this data.

Comment 2 Jenny Severance 2012-06-07 21:17:55 UTC 
Please add information on this new feature, how to test .. is there a design page?
Comment 3 Rob Crittenden 2012-06-07 21:51:39 UTC 
There is no design page, this is very simple.

There are two newly indexed attributes: fqdn, macAddress

There is now an area in the compat tree for computers:

% ipa host-add test.example.com --macaddress=00:50:56:06:E7:F3
% ldapsearch -LLL -Y GSSAPI -b cn=computers,cn=compat,dc=example,dc=comdn: cn=tove.example.com,cn=computers,cn=compat,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: device
objectClass: ieee802Device
objectClass: top
cn: tove.example.com
macAddress: 00:50:56:06:E7:F3

And now test over nis:

# ipa-nis-manage enable
# service dirsrv restart
# service rpcbind restart
#  ypcat -d example.com -h localhost ethers
00:50:56:06:E7:F3 tove.example.com
