[Freeipa-devel] Re: freeipa server + how to joining opensuse clients

[Dmitri Pal]

Hi,

The latest freeIPA version 1.2.1 is not capable of enrolling machines 
into domain.
There is no thick client component  that would  work with the server  
and make the system a part of the domain.
This is the functionality we are building as we speak.
IPA 1.2.1 allows you to point your client pam_krb5 and nss_ldap to the 
central server IPA and to perform authentication and user/group 
information lookup against the central location.
To configure pam and nss on the client see the documentation on the site:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/ClientConfigurationGuide

Also there will probably be a doc refresh on the site some time soon.

Thanks,
Dmitri
