FreeIPA is upstream for Red Hat IdM, if you wanna get commercial/enterprise support, go for Red Hat Subscription. > > after a year/two of usage/testing/troubleshooting of freeipa/redhat > ipa it seems, for me as a simple admin, to be still not very mature > project, even basic configuration isn't very stable/solid to use it in > real production.

IMHO, there's no official support from Red Hat on FreeIPA, I was though it was community support. If you wanna official support or real training for IdM (Identity Management) from Red Hat, go to https://access.redhat.com/products/Identity_Management > > Can I ask you for your opinion ? > > Vasek > -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
