Allthough it looks a bit dirty, you add _sites support to IPA by manually create a DNS zone, something like: _tcp.locationX._sites.example.com and _tcp.locationY._sites.example.com and put two SRV records, _ldap en _kerberos, in it. Now, add "dns_discovery_domain = locationX._sites.example.com" or "dns_discovery_domain = locationY._sites.example.com" dns location based discovery is there...? Just curious....!

If true and service discovery (see Service Discovery paragraph at the bottom of the man page) is enabled, then the SSSD will first attempt location based discovery using a query that contains "_location.hostname.example.com" and then fall back to traditional SRV discovery. If the location based discovery succeeds, the IPA servers located with the location based discovery are treated as primary servers and the IPA servers located using the traditional SRV discovery are used as back up servers After enabling it in a EL 6.8 IPA client (together with some debugging) this will show up in the sssd logging: (Mon May 30 16:51:08 2016) [sssd[be[blabla.bla]]] [resolv_discover_srv_next_domain] (0x0400): SRV resolution of service 'ldap'.

But how? Any documentation on this? How to implement on the server? How to implement a location on the client (while running ipa-client-install) Hope someone can help, it would be nice a client will choose the correct server based on it's location... </blockquote> In this case SSSD was a bit faster then the server side.

Please note that for AD users (which is IIRC the majority of your environment), SSSD should already choose the right site. The RFE Sumit linked is 'just' about the IPA side of the equation. </blockquote> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> </blockquote> </body> </html>
