[Freeipa-devel] Configuring FreeIPA with JBoss EAP

[Martin Kosek]

Hello Jan a Peter, freeipa-devel users,

There was recently a project of integrating FreeIPA server with Jboss EAP. One
of the results of this project should be a script able to conveniently
configure JBoss EAP on a machine to use FreeIPA as an identity&authentication
backend.

What I would like to find out is what would be the best place to store&maintain
such script. AFAIK, JBoss EAP did not want to keep the configuration script
with their project - can you Peter please share the reasons for it? I was
thinking it would be then easier to maintain the script according to JBoss EAP
releases.

Second option would be to deploy the script with FreeIPA project. Then, they
would also conform to FreeIPA release schedule and not JBoss ones. So I was
pondering where should we put scripts like this one, it is quite a specific
script, so I do not want to keeping it with freeipa-client package.

In this case I would propose creating a new optional subpackage
"freeipa-client-jboss" which would include all scripts/docs for the JBoss EAP
integration (may extend in future). In future, there may also come more
thematic FreeIPA integration scripts when they cannot be stored in relevant
upstream projects.

Any ideas? Is the correct approach to keep configuration scripts for other
upstream projects?

Thanks,
Martin
