FreeIPA is an open source security solution for Linux/Unix environments that provides centralized authentication, authorization, and account information management. Here is a tutorial on how to install it on OpenSUSE latest:
Before you begin the installation process, make sure the following prerequisites are met on your OpenSUSE latest system:
First, you need to add the FreeIPA repository to your OpenSUSE latest system by running the following command:
sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/FreeIPA/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/ freeipa
Next, update the system's package list and install the FreeIPA server and client packages by running the following command:
sudo zypper update && sudo zypper install freeipa-server freeipa-server-dns freeipa-server-trust-ad freeipa-client ipa-admintools krb5 krb5-client
To allow access to the FreeIPA server from other systems, you must configure the firewall rules. FreeIPA uses ports 80, 443, 389, 636, 88, 464, and 53. You can allow these ports by running the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service http --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service https --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service dns --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=389/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=636/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=88/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=464/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=53/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=53/udp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Next, you need to configure the FreeIPA server. Run the following command to start the configuration process:
sudo ipa-server-install
You will be asked a series of questions to configure the server for your environment. It is recommended that you accept the default options unless you have a specific requirement.
To configure the FreeIPA client, run the following command on the client system:
sudo ipa-client-install
You will be prompted to enter your FreeIPA server's domain name, administrator credentials, and other configuration options. Follow the prompts and enter the correct values.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure FreeIPA on OpenSUSE latest. FreeIPA provides a centralized management solution for security and identity management in Linux/Unix environments, and can be a valuable tool for organizations of all sizes.
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!
