Hi Patrick,

Firstly lets look at the sudo issue - I think you just need to add a second sudo option to block the requirement for TTY:

  Rule name: full_control
  Description: Allow full command access on all hosts
  Enabled: TRUE
  Host category: all
  Command category: all
  RunAs User category: all
  Sudo order: 2
  Users: ...
  User Groups: ...
  Sudo Option: !authenticate, !requiretty

That should move that one along, fingers crossed its that simple!

Home directory creation - this one is controlled by a file /etc/sysconfig/authconfig. You can enable the setting from the command line and you'll notice a service "oddjob" which runs for this purpose. Here's the command to get it going (feel free to read the man page for confirmation):

$ authconfig --enablemkhomedir --update

Finally you mentioned issues with NTP - during client install you might have noticed a warning about this - in fact my notes say its the first thing it prints out if chrony is running. There is an installer option "--force-ntpd" which will nuke chrony and push the configuration but at this point you should probably go ahead and remove chrony manually, install ntp and point it at your server instance. Note that yopu'll obviously need to get the server instance running NTP and configured first. There are plenty of articles online for that and its advisable to do a little research to strengthen your configuration.

Hopefully that gets you to level 3!

Thanks Callum for your advice so far, I am now able to login to the client via the FreeIPA server authentication.

 

I am having trouble getting sudo access working properly. I have followed the guide you mentioned but I still cannot sudo into the client. I have opened up

everything under the created “sudo rule” but I am still not able to log in with sudo priviledges.

 

So, as a test I have selected these commands within the “sudo rules” but no success here.

 

Who – Anyone

Access this host – Anyhost

Run Commands – Any Command

 

From the command line

[root@ipa ~]# ipa sudorule-show sudo

  Rule name: sudo

  Enabled: TRUE

  User category: all

  Host category: all

  Command category: all

  RunAs User category: all

  RunAs Group category: all

  Sudo Option: !authenticate

 

Would be grateful for some advice, I am missing something here.

 

Regards
