Server topology and infrastructure management
Manage IPA domain functional level for enabling version-specific features. Domain level controls feature availability across replicated servers, requiring all servers to meet minimum version requirements before level advancement. Features include level display, level raising for feature enablement, and enforcement of version compatibility for coordinated infrastructure upgrades.
Manage IPA locations for DNS-based service discovery and client affinity. Locations enable clients to discover nearby services automatically based on DNS SRV record priorities. Features include location creation and management, server-to-location assignment, automatic DNS SRV record updates, and integration with DNS for optimized service discovery and reduced cross-site authentication traffic.
Manage DNS domains associated with the IPA realm. Realm domains define which DNS domains are considered part of the IPA realm for authentication purposes. Features include domain addition and removal, automatic DNS validation, and realm domain listing for controlling which domains participate in Kerberos authentication and service discovery.
Manage IPA server entries and server configuration. Server management includes adding and removing replica servers, server role information, location assignment, and server configuration settings. Features include server enrollment, server deletion with force options, server state management, and integration with topology and server role tracking for maintaining multi-master replication infrastructure.
Display server role information showing service distribution across IPA infrastructure. Server roles indicate which services (CA, DNS, KRA, AD Trust) are enabled on each server. Features include comprehensive role status display showing server names, role types, and enablement status for infrastructure planning and redundancy verification.
Manage replication topology and agreements between IPA servers. Topology management defines data replication paths for domain and CA data. Features include replication agreement creation and deletion, topology segment management, suffix specification (domain, ca), direction control (both, left-right, right-left), and replication reinitalization for maintaining consistent multi-master replication infrastructure.
