I have a FreeIPA server with the following information. FreeIPA server: utility.lab.example.com FreeIPA realm: LAB.EXAMPLE.COM FreeIPA domain: lab.example.com.

This is my note about installing FreeIPA on a CentOS 8 machine. It’s a bit different from the FreeIPA’s installation on CentOS 7, and most importantly there was a problem I came across during the installation and how to fix it. Configure Static IP [root@utility ~]# nmcli con mod enp1s0 ipv4.addresses 172.25.250.8/24 \ > ipv4.method manual \ > ipv4.gateway 172.25.250.254 \ > ipv4.dns 172.25.252.1 \ > connection.autoconnect yes [root@utility ~]# nmcli con up enp1s0 Ensure the hostname of this server exists in /etc/hosts....

Today I passed the Red Hat Identity Management exa, EX362, with the score of 233/300. The material used to prepare for the exam is the RH362 online course, provided Red Hat. At first I wasn’t sure if I should use of the 5 exam credits (as part of one-year training subscription), but it turned out that IdM/FreeIPA is useful and fun to learn. Here are some tips for this exam:...

While practicing with certificates reqeust using FreeIPA, I came across this duplicated certificates for the first time. This happened because I also practiced the same thing a few weeks ago. Here is how to re-produce this message: [root@client ~]# ipa-getcert request \ -f /etc/vsftpd/certs/cert.pem \ -k /etc/vsftpd/certs/cert.key \ -K ftp/client.lab.example.net \ -D client.lab.example.net Certificate at same location is already used by request with nickname "20201008131445". Because I’m still not familiar yet with FreeIPA on this certificate topic, I turned to Google search and found very useful information on this blog post: Dealing with Duplicate SSL certs from FreeIPA....

Nothing excites me than being able to solve a problem on Linux just before bed time. Well, there could be other things, but I couldn’t think of any right now. Right now, I’m preparing for my next exam - Red Hat Certified Specialist in Identity Management (EX362), and one of the topics is about setting up automated home directory using IdM (or IPA). I tried to follow the course material, but I had troubles getting it working....
