[Freeipa-users] Change UID range

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

The docs say they do this to try and avoid clashes with other organisations in case of a merger.

Another reason I can see is possibly Shiboleth (Federation) which I/we have to do. So is changing it that much of an issue?

regards

After installing, I’ve noticed that my UIDs for freeipa start at 1.3 billion.  Now, this isn’t technically a problem, but it is ... Odd.  Is there a way to change this value after install, or am I stuck uninstalling and reinstalling with the --idstart value set to get this to a more reasonable number?
