1.2.2. Configuring Client Authentication

Procedure 1.7. To configure client authentication on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4:

  1. Create the /etc/ipa/ipa.conf file.

  2. Use the following command to set up the IPA client:

    # ipa-client-setup --server ipaserver.example.com

  3. Reboot the client machine.

Note

Ensure that you run the correct command to set up the client. Separate scripts exist for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5, and they are not interchangeable.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 version of the IPA client installation script does not perform auto-discovery, and neither does it configure the client machine to perform auto-discovery.
