[Freeipa-users] Can freeIPA work without Kerberos and DNS

[Gokulnath]

Thanks for getting back.

1. As security Kerberos can ticket and in memory can be taken and that session key 
Can be used to gain access every where. Primarily this because the plan is to use the solution in cloud.

2. Can I disable DNS as well? And have IPA to run only ldap, ssh key rotation and pki ?

3. As during the install, DNS and Kerberos are getting installed and configured.

I would really appreciate if you can get back.

Thank you
Gokul
