Jonathan,
Did you get this for CentOS. I've got CentOS 5.6. Would you know if there is a repository for that that contains FreeIPA?
Boris.
I have not used FreeIPA on CentOS. As I said previously, I highly recommend using Fedora servers as your FreeIPA servers, because it will install much easier and you should be able to get support from the freeipa-users mailing list.
If you are set on using CentOS, I think you will need to use the RedHat IPA product instead. But the only success stories that I am familiar with are from the v1.x IPA product, which is old.

I'm surprised FreeIPA isn't in EPEL. Maybe this is because it's a layered product offering by RHEL?
It's painful to run Fedora as a production server unfortunately with its short lifecycle (at least in Enterprisey environments).

ipa-server is in centos6 'CR' and will be in 6.1 its currently 2.0.0 which is a lot more comprehensive than 1.x was. I do note the IPA project is up to 2.1, maybe rpmforge or someone can start rolling these up for us all.
I started reading about FreeIPA last night and am real interested in firing up a test instance in my lab at work, which is an unholy mess of linux (assorted versions), solaris, and a few windows servers.
