To all freeipa-interest, freeipa-users and freeipa-devel list members,

The FreeIPA project team is pleased to announce the availability of the
Release Candidate 1 release of freeIPA 2.0 server [1].

* Binaries are available for F-14 and F-15 [2].
* Please do not hesitate to share feedback, criticism or bugs with us on
our mailing list: freeipa-users@redhat.com

Main Highlights of the Release Candidate.

This release consists primarily of bug fixes and polish across all areas ofthe project. Modifications include but are not limited to:
* Installation fixes.
* DNS improvements.
* WebUI improvements.

Focus of the Release Candidate Testing
* There is a Fedora test day for FreeIPA on Feb 15th [3]. Please join us in testing FreeIPA. The exact instructions will be provided later and will be available off the link on the page.
* The following section outlines the areas that we are mostly interested to test [4].

Significant Changes Since Beta 2
To see all the tickets addressed since the beta 2 release
see [6].

Repositories and Installation
* Use the following link to install the beta 2 packages [5].
* On Fedora-14 FreeIPA relies on the latest versions
of the packages currently available from the updates-testing
repository. Please make sure to enable this repository before
you proceed with installation.

Known Issues:
* There are known issues that currently prevent FreeIPA from successfully installing with dogtag on F-15 [2]. We will send a separate message when this issue is resolved. The FreeIPA server is installable with the –selfsign option on F-15, or with dogtag on F-14.
* Server-generated error messages are not translated yet.
* IPv6 support is not complete.

Chromium and FreeIPA

Posted on by

While Google Chrome Is only in Beta at version 9 for Linux, the upstream project, Chromium, has all the latest features. Spot has provided a repo with packages for some of your favorite platforms.

For development, I run the browser on the same serve that I install freeipa-server on. To get it to run,:

chromium-browser --auth-server-whitelist=`hostname` --auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist=`hostname`

The unit tests don’t run using the file: protocol, but I’ve run them against the Static site and they run fine.

Home on LeGrange

(To the tune of “Home on the Range” in case you hadn’t guessed)

Oh give me a place
Up in near outer space
Where a rocket will surely convey
A space station to sit
In a stable orbit
One that will never decay

Home, Home on LeGrange
At the junction of gravity’s range
A space station can sit
In a stable orbit
One that will never decay
