Hello, I've setup two ipa-servers on RHEL 7 that are up an running. Replication is also working.
#ipa-replica-manage list Directory Manager password: s-fcbg-ipa2.ipa.cornelsen.de: master s-onli-ipa1.ipa.cornelsen.de: master Both servers running ipa-server-4.2 : rpm -qa | grep ipa-server ipa-server-dns-4.2.0-15.el7_2.17.x86_64 ipa-server-4.2.0-15.el7_2.17.x86_64 I have also a client installed running also version 4.2 ipa-client-4.2.0-15.el7_2.17.x86_64 The client and the first server are in the same subnet, while server 2 is in a different subnet. All ports that are required are open for server 1 to server 2 and also for the client to server two. I have an subdomain ipa.cornelsen.de that is managed by both ipa-servers. the subdomain is forwarded by out general dns-server to both ipa-servers. If I switch server 1 off I would expect that the client is using the second server to check access and sudo rights, but that's not the case. If I create a new user on the ipa-server and then switch off the first server, the user cannot login to the client. If I switch on server 1 again, the user can login. The official documentation says: " There can be multiple servers and replicas within the IdM server topology. When a client needs to connect to a server for updates or to retrieve user information, it (by default) uses a service scan to discover available servers and replicas in the domain. This means that the actual server to which the client connects is random, depending on the results of the discovery scan." But there's no information how this scan is done. I have to provide the server and the domain during the client installation. But regarding to the documentation, the server can by any server or replica in my topology. This server is saved also in the /etc/ipa/default.conf How is the service scan working and is there a way to manually check what the service-check is returning?
