NAME

6       ipactl - IPA Server Control Interface
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ipactl command
10

DESCRIPTION

12       A tool to help an administer control an IPA environment.
13
14       IPA glues several discrete services together to work in concert and the
15       order that these services are started and stopped is important.  ipactl
16       ensures that they are started and stopped in the correct order.
17
18       IPA  stores  the  available masters and the services configured on each
19       one. The first thing ipactl does is start (if it is  not  already  run‐
20       ning)  the  IPA 389-ds instance to query what services it controls. The
21       hostname used in the query needs to match the  hostname  of  the  value
22       stored  in  LDAP.  This  can  be  controlled  with  the  host option in
23       /etc/ipa/default.conf. This should be a fully-qualified hostname.
