IPA Ping
Test IPA server connectivity and API accessibility. Ping verifies that the IPA API is responding and the server is operational. Features include simple connectivity testing for troubleshooting server availability and confirming authenticated API access for monitoring and health check automation.
The ping command sends an echo request to an IPA server. The server returns its version information. This is used by an IPA client to confirm that the server is available and accepting requests.
The server from xmlrpc_uri in /etc/ipa/default.conf is contacted first. If it does not respond then the client will contact any servers defined by ldap SRV records in DNS.
