FreeIPA is an open-source identity management system that provides central authentication, authorization, and other related services. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install FreeIPA on NetBSD.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to install the required packages for FreeIPA. Use the following command to install them:
pkgin update && pkgin full-upgrade
pkgin install -y nano wget py38-cryptography py38-ldap3 py38-pyasn1 py38-pyasn1-modules py38-babel py38-six py38-botocore py38-requests-AWS4Auth py38-docutils py38-wrapt py38-setuptools py38-dateutil py38-pycryptodomex py38-ipaddress py38-pyparsing py38-ordered-set py38-enum34 py38-cffi py38-argon2-cffi py38-s3transfer py38-jmespath py38-future
Next, we need to download the FreeIPA package from the official website. Use the following command to download the package:
wget https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/archive/refs/tags/v4.8.8.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded package using the following command:
tar -xvf v4.8.8.tar.gz
Once the package is extracted, navigate to the extracted folder and install it using the following command:
cd freeipa-4.8.8
python3 setup.py install
This will install FreeIPA on your system.
Before configuring FreeIPA, we need to set up a domain name for our server. You can either use your existing domain name or create a new one.
To configure FreeIPA, run the following command:
ipa-server-install
You will then be prompted to answer a series of questions related to the domain name, administrative password, DNS configuration, and other related settings.
After configuring FreeIPA, you can manage users and groups by logging into the FreeIPA web interface at http://your-server-ip-address/ipa/ui.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FreeIPA on your NetBSD operating system. You can now manage user authentication, authorization, and other related services using the FreeIPA web interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
