Procedure 1.1. To download and install the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 IPA packages:

1. Subscribe to the appropriate channels on the Red Hat Network. Refer to Red Hat Enterprise IPA Release Notes for information on the channels that you need to subscribe to.

2. After you have subscribed to the appropriate channels, use the following command to install the IPA client, tools, and dependencies:

   # yum install ipa-client ipa-admintools

3. If the IPA server is also configured as the DNS server, and is in the same domain as the client, add the server's IP address as the first entry in the client's /etc/resolv.conf file.
