default.conf(5)		       IPA Manual Pages		       default.conf(5)

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 mis-
       spellings, 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 in-
	      stallation. The default value is 300 seconds.

       context <context>
	      Specifies	the context that IPA is	being executed in. IPA may op-
	      erate differently	depending on the context. The current  defined
	      contexts	are  cli,  server  and dns. 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	speci-
	      fied 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  de-
	      fault 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 com-
	      mand-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 de-
	      fault 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 min-
	      utes",  "5min,  30sec".  When  the  parameter  is	not set	in de-
	      fault.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  ex-
	      pired,  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_cache_debug	<boolean>
	      Log  details  on	hits,  misses,	etc. for the LDAP cache	if the
	      cache is enabled.

       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 indi-
	      cated 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 con-
	      figured 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  al-
	      lows  you	to leave the global debug flag off and selectively en-
	      able 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 expres-
	      sion  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 sup-
	      port values are production and developer.	When running  in  pro-
	      duction mode some	self-tests are skipped to improve performance.

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

       oidc_child_debug_level <debuglevel>
	      Specifies	the debug level	of oidc_child, a helper	 process  used
	      by ipa-otpd for OIDC/OAuth2 authentication. Level	can be between
	      0	 and  10,  the	higher	the more details. If the level is 6 or
	      higher HTTP debug	output is added	as well.

       passkey_child_debug_level <debuglevel>
	      Specifies	the debug level	of  passkey_child,  a  helper  process
	      used  by	ipa-otpd  for passkey authentication. Level can	be be-
	      tween 0 and 10, the higher the more details. If the level	 is  6
	      or higher	libfido2 debug output is added as well.

       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  op-
	      tions are	dogtag and none. This is a server-side setting.	Chang-
	      ing 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  er-
	      rors/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 iden-
	      tifying 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	compo-
	      nents 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 re-
	      turns an up-to-date answer to a query for	modified records.  De-
	      lay 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	 'xml-
	      rpc'. Defaults to	'jsonrpc'.

       The following define the	containers for the IPA server. Containers de-
       fine where in the DIT that objects can be found.	The full location is
       the value of container +	basedn.
		container_accounts: cn=accounts
		container_applications:	cn=applications,cn=configs,cn=policies
		container_automount: cn=automount
		container_configs: cn=configs,cn=policies
		container_dns: cn=dns
		container_group: cn=groups,cn=accounts
		container_hbac:	cn=hbac
		container_hbacservice: cn=hbacservices,cn=hbac
		container_hbacservicegroup: cn=hbacservicegroups,cn=hbac
		container_host:	cn=computers,cn=accounts
		container_hostgroup: cn=hostgroups,cn=accounts
		container_netgroup: cn=ng,cn=alt
		container_permission: cn=permissions,cn=pbac
		container_policies: cn=policies
		container_policygroups:	cn=policygroups,cn=configs,cn=policies
		container_policylinks: cn=policylinks,cn=configs,cn=policies
		container_privilege: cn=privileges,cn=pbac
		container_rolegroup: cn=roles,cn=accounts
		container_roles: cn=roles,cn=policies
		container_service: cn=services,cn=accounts
		container_sudocmd: cn=sudocmds,cn=sudo

		container_user:	cn=users,cn=accounts
		container_vault: cn=vaults,cn=kra
		container_virtual: cn=virtual operations,cn=etc

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 currently defined
       contexts	in IPA are cli,	server and dns.	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

EXAMPLES
       An example of a context-specific	configuration file is
       /etc/ipa/dns.conf to be used to increase	debug output of	the IPA	DNSSEC
       daemons.

	      [global]
	      debug = True
