I have a domain already. I just want to test it inside my internal network, and I do not
have virtual machines or CentOS servers at my disposal. I have tried to get the server to
resolve either
ipa.example.com or
ipa.mydomain.com . First, my Ubuntu server is having
issues installing freeipa-server because the package's postinstall script returns an
error status (1 to be precise). If I try to set up freeipa after that package install
fails with ipa-server-install --allow-zone-mismatch. It works until the 24th step of the
28th step (don't have the full logs; the first step of this part is something to do
with CA certificates) at which point it says
ipapython.admintool: ERROR cannot connect to
'https://ipa.mydomain.com:8443/ca/rest/account/login': [Errno 111] Connection
refused.
I can actually wget this URL from the same server once the installer quits, I just get a
401 error (which is probably due to a lack of credentials that FreeIPA would provide when
it requests this). I cannot and will not be opening this server to the outside world when
I first configure it for security reasons. How can I first set up this server on my LAN,
and actually figure out how to use FreeIPA before I open it up to the world?
Did I write this in the wrong place? Let me know and I will move it. Thanks in advance.
