[Freeipa-users] Free ipa Configurations

Tue Nov 11 09:56:16 UTC 2014

It is still really hard to give advise as I do not know what's actually wrong.
So are you trying to set up a sudo on your client or are you trying to log in
with your client browser to FreeIPA server? These are 2 orthogonal actions.

Who gives the "Can't I connect to the ipa server" error? As I said earlier, I
cannot help you without described procedure you are trying to do, logs and
exact error messages.
