Not every master has to have a range. Only those masters that you create
users and groups on. The DNA plugin should be smart enough to skip any
conflicting allocations but why press it? It isn't a whole lot of extra
work to manually set things up if you have to do that anyway and you can
sleep better knowing that duplicate values aren't possible.
Yes, it needs to fit within any IPA ranges you have created. You can
have more than one.
Otherwise you could theoretically end up in a conflict with other
ranges, like a trust, which would be bad.
There is nothing constraining what DNA range you set. The IPA ranges are
there for a hint.
So. If my ID range for the IPA domain is
ID Range
1246600000
1246800000
I could set the DNA ranges like that:
DNA Range ipa1
1246600001
1246620001
DNA Range ipa2
1246620002
1246640002
DNA Range ipa3
1246640003
1246660003
DNA Range ipa4
1246660004
1246680004
DNA Range ipa5
1246680005
1246700005
DNA Range ipa6
1246700006
1246720006
DNA Range ipa7
1246720007
1246740007
DNA Range ipa8
1246740008
1246760008
Do you agree?
Do I have to use ldapmodify or could I use
ipa-replica-manage dnarange-set ipa1.mydomain.at 1246600001-1246620001 ?
Cheers,
