NAME

       ipactl - IPA Server Control Interface

SYNOPSIS

       ipactl command

DESCRIPTION

       A tool to help an administer control an IPA environment.

       IPA  glues  several  discrete  services together to work in concert and the order that these services are
       started and stopped is important. ipactl ensures that they are started and stopped in the correct order.

       IPA stores the available masters and the services configured on each one. The first thing ipactl does  is
       start  (if  it  is  not  already running) the IPA 389-ds instance to query what services it controls. The
       hostname used in the query needs to match the  hostname  of  the  value  stored  in  LDAP.  This  can  be
       controlled with the host option in /etc/ipa/default.conf. This should be a fully-qualified hostname.
