NAME

       default.conf - IPA configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ipa/default.conf, ~/.ipa/default.conf, /etc/ipa/server.conf, /etc/ipa/cli.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The default.conf configuration file is used to set system-wide defaults to be applied when
       running IPA clients and servers.

       Users may create an optional configuration  file  in  ~/.ipa/default.conf  which  will  be
       merged into the system-wide defaults file.

       The following files are read, in order:
           ~/.ipa/default.conf
           /etc/ipa/<context>.conf
           /etc/ipa/default.conf
           built-in constants

       The IPA server does not read ~/.ipa/default.conf.

       The first setting wins.

SYNTAX

       The  configuration  options  are  not  case  sensitive.  The values may be case sensitive,
       depending on the option.

       Blank lines are ignored.  Lines beginning with # are comments and are ignored.

       Valid lines consist of an option name, an equals sign  and  a  value.  Spaces  surrounding
       equals sign are ignored. An option terminates at the end of a line.

       Values should not be quoted, the quotes will not be stripped.

           # Wrong - don't include quotes
           verbose = "True"

           # Right - Properly formatted options
           verbose = True
           verbose=True

       Options  must appear in the section named [global]. There are no other sections defined or
       used currently.

       Options may be defined that are not used by IPA. Be careful of misspellings, they will not
       be rejected.

OPTIONS

       The following options are relevant for the server:

       basedn <base>
              Specifies  the  base DN to use when performing LDAP operations. The base must be in
              DN format (dc=example,dc=com).

       ca_agent_port <port>
              Specifies the secure CA agent port. The default is 8443.

       ca_host <hostname>
              Specifies the hostname of the dogtag CA server. The default is the hostname of  the
              IPA server.

       ca_port <port>
              Specifies the insecure CA end user port. The default is 8080.

       certmonger_wait_timeout <seconds>
              The  time  to  wait  for  a certmonger request to complete during installation. The
              default value is 300 seconds.

       context <context>
              Specifies the context that IPA is being executed in. IPA  may  operate  differently
              depending  on  the  context.  The  current  defined  contexts  are  cli and server.
              Additionally  this  value  is  used  to  load  /etc/ipa/context.conf   to   provide
              context-specific  configuration.  For example, if you want to always perform client
              requests in verbose mode but do not want to have verbose enabled on the server, add
              the verbose option to /etc/ipa/cli.conf.

       debug <boolean>
              When True provides detailed information. Specifically this set the global log level
              to "debug". Default is False.

       dogtag_version <version>
              Stores the version of Dogtag. Value 9 is assumed if not specified otherwise.

       domain <domain>
              The domain of the IPA server e.g. example.com.

       enable_ra <boolean>
              Specifies whether the CA is acting as an RA agent, such as  when  dogtag  is  being
              used  as  the  Certificate  Authority.  This setting only applies to the IPA server
              configuration.

       fallback <boolean>
              Specifies whether an IPA client should attempt to fall back and try other  services
              if the first connection fails.

       host <hostname>
              Specifies the local system hostname.

       http_timeout <seconds>
              Timeout  for  HTTP  blocking  requests  (e.g.  connection). The default value is 30
              seconds.

       in_server <boolean>
              Specifies whether requests should be forwarded to an IPA server or handled locally.
              This  is used internally by IPA in a similar way as context. The same IPA framework
              is used by the ipa command-line  tool  and  the  server.  This  setting  tells  the
              framework  whether  it should execute the command as if on the server or forward it
              via XML-RPC to a remote server.

       in_tree <boolean>
              This is used in development and is generally a detected value. It  means  that  the
              code is being executed within a source tree.

       interactive <boolean>
              Specifies whether values should be prompted for or not. The default is True.

       kinit_lifetime <time duration spec>
              Controls  the  lifetime  of  ticket  obtained by users authenticating to the WebGUI
              using login/password. The expected format is a time duration string.  Examples  are
              "2  hours", "1h:30m", "10 minutes", "5min, 30sec". When the parameter is not set in
              default.conf, the ticket will have a duration inherited from the default value  for
              kerberos  clients, that can be set as ticket_lifetime in krb5.conf. When the ticket
              lifetime has expired, the ticket is not valid anymore and the GUI  will  prompt  to
              re-login with a message "Your session has expired. Please re-login."

       ldap_cache <boolean>
              Enable a per-request LDAP cache. The default is True.

       ldap_cache_size <integer>
              The  maximum  number  of  entries cached if ldap_cache is True. Since this cache is
              per-request it is not expected to be very large. The default is  100.  Setting  the
              value < 1 effectively disables the cache regardless of the ldap_cache setting

       ldap_uri <URI>
              Specifies  the  URI of the IPA LDAP server to connect to. The URI scheme may be one
              of    ldap    or    ldapi.    The    default    is    to    use     ldapi,     e.g.
              ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd-EXAMPLE-COM.socket

       log_logger_XXX <comma separated list of regexps>
              loggers matching regexp will be assigned XXX level.

              Logger  levels  can  be  explicitly  specified for specific loggers as opposed to a
              global logging  level.  Specific  loggers  are  indicated  by  a  list  of  regular
              expressions  bound  to  a  level.  If a logger's name matches the regexp then it is
              assigned that level. This config item must begin with "log_logger_level_" and  then
              be followed by a symbolic or numeric log level, for example:

                log_logger_level_debug = ipalib\.dn\..*

                log_logger_level_35 = ipalib\.plugins\.dogtag

              The  first  line  says  any logger belonging to the ipalib.dn module will have it's
              level configured to debug.

              The second line say the ipa.plugins.dogtag logger will be configured to level 35.

              This config item is useful when you only want to see the log  output  from  one  or
              more  selected  loggers.  Turning on the global debug flag will produce an enormous
              amount of output.  This  allows  you  to  leave  the  global  debug  flag  off  and
              selectively  enable  output  from a specific logger. Typically loggers are bound to
              classes and plugins.

              Note: logger names are a dot ('.') separated list forming  a  path  in  the  logger
              tree.   The  dot  character is also a regular expression metacharacter (matches any
              character) therefore you will usually need to escape the dot in the logger names by
              preceding it with a backslash.

       mode <mode>
              Specifies  the  mode  the  server  is  running in. The currently support values are
              production and developer. When running  in  production  mode  some  self-tests  are
              skipped to improve performance.

       mount_ipa <URI>
              Specifies the mount point that the development server will register. The default is
              /ipa/

       prompt_all <boolean>
              Specifies that all options should be prompted for in the IPA client, even  optional
              values. Default is False.

       ra_plugin <name>
              Specifies  the  name  of the CA back end to use. The current options are dogtag and
              none. This is a server-side setting. Changing this value is not recommended as  the
              CA back end is only set up during initial installation.

       realm <realm>
              Specifies the Kerberos realm.

       replication_wait_timeout <seconds>
              The  time to wait for a new entry to be replicated during replica installation. The
              default value is 300 seconds.

       schema_ttl <seconds>
              The number of seconds for the ipa tool to  cache  the  IPA  API  and  help  schema.
              Reducing  this  value  during  development  is helpful so that API changes are seen
              sooner in the tool. Setting this on a server will define the  TTL  for  all  client
              versions  >  4.3.1.  Client versions > 4.3.1 that connect to IPA servers older than
              4.3.1 will use the client-side configuration value. The default is 3600 seconds.  0
              disables  the  cache.  A  change  in  the ttl will not be immediately recognized by
              clients. They will use the new value once their current cache expires.

       server <hostname>
              Specifies the IPA Server hostname.

       skip_version_check <boolean>
              Skip client vs. server API version checking. Can lead  to  errors/strange  behavior
              when newer clients talk to older servers. Use with caution.

       startup_timeout <time in seconds>
              Controls  the  amount  of time waited when starting a service. The default value is
              120 seconds.

       startup_traceback <boolean>
              If the IPA server fails to start and this value is True the server will attempt  to
              generate a python traceback to make identifying the underlying problem easier.

       validate_api <boolean>
              Used  internally  in the IPA source package to verify that the API has not changed.
              This is used to prevent regressions. If it is true then some errors are ignored  so
              enough  of  the  IPA  framework  can  be  loaded  to verify all of the API, even if
              optional components are not installed. The default is False.

       verbose <boolean>
              When True provides more information. Specifically this sets the global log level to
              "info".

       wait_for_dns <number of attempts>
              Controls  whether  the  IPA  commands dnsrecord-{add,mod,del} work synchronously or
              not. The DNS commands will repeat  DNS  queries  up  to  the  specified  number  of
              attempts  until the DNS server returns an up-to-date answer to a query for modified
              records. Delay between retries is one second.

              The DNS commands will raise a DNSDataMismatch exception if the answer doesn't match
              the expected value even after the specified number of attempts.

              The  DNS queries will be sent to the resolver configured in /etc/resolv.conf on the
              IPA server.

              Do not enable this in production! This will cause problems if the resolver  on  IPA
              server uses a caching server instead of a local authoritative server or e.g. if DNS
              answers are modified by DNS64. The default is disabled (the option is not present).

       xmlrpc_uri <URI>
              Specifies the URI of the XML-RPC server for a client. This may be used by IPA,  and
              is    used    by    some    external   tools,   such   as   ipa-getcert.   Example:
              https://ipa.example.com/ipa/xml

       jsonrpc_uri <URI>
              Specifies the URI of the JSON server for a client. This is  used  by  IPA.  If  not
              given, it is derived from xmlrpc_uri. Example: https://ipa.example.com/ipa/json

       rpc_protocol <URI>
              Specifies  the  type  of  RPC  calls  IPA makes: 'jsonrpc' or 'xmlrpc'. Defaults to
              'jsonrpc'.

       The following define the containers for the IPA server. Containers define where in the DIT
       that objects can be found. The full location is the value of container + basedn.
                container_accounts: cn=accounts

FILES

       /etc/ipa/default.conf
              system-wide IPA configuration file

       $HOME/.ipa/default.conf
              user IPA configuration file

       It  is  also  possible  to define context-specific configuration files. The context is set
       when the IPA api is initialized. The two currently defined contexts in  IPA  are  cli  and
       server. This is helpful, for example, if you only want debug enabled on the server and not
       in the client. If this is set to True in default.conf it will affect both the  ipa  client
       tool  and  the IPA server. If it is only set in server.conf then only the server will have
       debug set. These files will be loaded if they exist:

       /etc/ipa/cli.conf
              system-wide IPA client configuration file

       /etc/ipa/server.conf
              system-wide IPA server configuration file
