ipa-replica-conncheck: Check a replica-master network connection before installation
NAME
ipa-replica-conncheck - Check a replica-master network connection before installationSYNOPSIS
ipa-replica-conncheck [OPTION]...DESCRIPTION
When an IPA replica is being installed a network connection between a replica machine and a replicated IPA master machine has to be prepared for master-replica communication. In case of a flawed connection the installation may fail with inconvenient error messages. A common connection problem is a misconfigured firewall with closed required port on a replica or master machine.The connection is checked by running a set of tests from both master and replica machines. The program is incorporated to ipa-replica-install(1) but can be also run separately.
OPTIONS
REPLICA MACHINE OPTIONS
This set of options is used when the connection check is run on a prepared IPA replica machine.- -m MASTER, --master=MASTER
- Remote master machine address
- -a, --auto-master-check
- Automatically log in to master machine and execute the master machine part of the connection check. The following options for replica part are only evaluated when this option is set
- -r REALM, --realm=REALM
- The Kerberos realm name for the IPA server
- -k KDC, --kdc=KDC
- KDC server address. Defaults t MASTER
- -p PRINCIPAL, --principal=PRINCIPAL
- Authorized Kerberos principal to use to log in to master machine. Defaults to admin
- -w PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
-
Password for given principal. The password will be prompted interactively when this option is missing
MASTER MACHINE OPTIONS
This set of options is used when the connection check is run on a master machine against a running ipa-replica-conncheck(1) on a replica machine.- -R REPLICA, --replica=REPLICA
-
Remote replica machine address
COMMON OPTIONS
- -c, --check-ca
- Include in a check also a set of dogtag connection requirements. Only needed when the master was installed with Dogtag 9 or lower.
- -h HOSTNAME, --hostname=HOSTNAME
- The hostname of this server (FQDN). By default a nodename from uname(2) is used
- -d, --debug
- Print debugging information
- -q, --quiet
-
Output only errors
EXAMPLES
- ipa-replica-conncheck -m master.example.com
- Run a replica machine connection check against a remote master master.example.com. If the connection to the remote master machine is successful the program will switch to listening mode and prompt for running the master machine part. The second part check the connection from master to replica.
- ipa-replica-conncheck -R replica.example.com
- Run a master machine connection check part. This is either run automatically by replica part of the connection check program (when -a option is set) or manually by the user. A running ipa-replica-conncheck(1) in a listening mode must be already running on a replica machine.
- ipa-replica-conncheck -m master.example.com -a -r EXAMPLE.COM -w password
-
Run a replica-master connection check. In case of a success switch to listening mode, automatically log to master.example.com in a realm EXAMPLE.COM with a password password and run the second part of the connection check.
