Hello list,
I'm trying to move from NIS to FreeIPA for authentication in a cluster.
I already setup FreeIPA server running version 4.5.0 on CentOS 7 and it
works good. I've got a few Centos 7 and Fedora 23 clients talking to it
all good.
We have a few legacy nodes that *fedora 14* and *fedora 20* and I'm not
allowed to replace the nodes just yet. I would like for them to be able
to talk to the same FreeIPA server as well. I tried to install freeIPA
client, but with no success. Appreciate any help/tips with getting the
latest freeipa-client installed and running on fedora 14.
I tried to install "ipa-client" available in Fedora 11 updates repository..
root@c04b13 ~]# yum install ipa-client

This may mean that the remote server is not up or is not reachable
due to network or firewall settings.
The same ipa-client-install works just fine on a Fedora 23 box on the
same network.
My question: Is there a way to get the latest FreeIPA-client package
installed on this old fedora 14 box?
I tried to download the rpm file from
(
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everythi...)
and install it using
yum --nogpgcheck localinstall freeipa-client-4.6.1-4.fc28.x86_64.rpm
But, it only throws dependancy errors as in the attached console log.
Any ideas about how I can get the freeipa-client package on f14?
You can't, don't try.
You are probably best off doing a manual configuration. You could try
the config suggested by: ipa-advise config-redhat-sssd-before-1-9
If that doesn't work you'll need to manually configure it using whatever
ldap provider was available then. It's so long ago I can't even remember.
Fedora 14 is ancient, released 8 years ago!
It also contains basically the first release of freeIPA which is likely
why the client isn't working.
