[Freeipa-users] Free ipa Configurations

Tue Nov 11 08:32:53 UTC 2014

never mind the problem on the server side, somehow it got fixed , I really don't know how though

so in the client side , It is successful when installing free ipa client and the server discovery is fine, my freipa Client is 4.1.0 and my server is 4.0.3 (although somewhere I've read that version incompatibility would not be an issue since if either one is of a lower version, the only features that would be used is the one that the lower version can do ) 

So I really don't know why Can't I connect to the ipa server. 

Iptables works fine.
/etc/resolv.conf is file as well 

sssd/sssd.conf ( added these lines ) 
[sudo]
sudo_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://myipaserver.example.com
ldap_sudo_search_base = ou=sudoers,dc=example,dc=com
ldap_sasl_mech = GSSAPI
ldap_sasl_authid = host/myipaserver.example.com
ldap_sasl_realm = EXAMPLE.COM
krb_server = myipaserver.example.com

and /etc/nsswitch.conf
(added this line ) 

sudoers : files sss ldap

is there something missing ?

oh sorry I forgot that on the clients side " network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris " they have the same domain as of the server side I've configured it as well as in the client side because recent guides for deploying IPA says that you must go to about:config either you are on the server or client side, or at least thats what I remember. 

Wait a sec I'm trying to achieve the state again where the server side wont let me log in using the admin credentials , just so i could show you the logs

There should be HOWTO articles on how to do that. Jakub may have better
sources, but I see for example:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/SSSD-Troubleshooting.html

network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris must be set in the *client* Firefox machine.

 though the network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris is configured correctly, the web UI can't be accessed so its a really weird scenario. but the registration of the ipa client to the server says its successful. 

FreeIPA 4.0+ Web UI should allow you to login at least with your user+password,
if SSO login fails. Does at least this part work? Because if not, there is some
error on the server side. It would be interesting to check if there are no
errors on the server in following logs:
- /var/log/httpd/error_log
- /var/log/krb5kdc.log
