Your desktopX system should use the network users and groups defined by the IPA server running on serverX for both user information and authentication.

If you haven't already done so at the start of the previous exercise:

Reset your serverX system.
Log into and setup your serverX system. Please note: This step will take approximately 15 minutes.
```
[student@serverX ~]$ lab ipaclient setup
```

Always perform this step:

Reset your desktopX system. You can reset your desktopX system while the setup on serverX is still running.
Wait for the setup on serverX to complete before continuing.

In your company's quest for a central user information and authentication system, you have settled on using an IPA server for central user management. Another department has already configured an IPA server on your serverX machine. This IPA server is configured with all the relevant DNS SRV records for the following settings:

Name	Value
Realm	`SERVERX.EXAMPLE.COM`, where `X` is your station number.
Domain	`serverX.example.com`, where `X` is your station number. Note that your `desktopX` machine is not a part of this DNS domain.
Administrative user	`admin`
Password	`redhat123`

A user has already been configured for you to test with. The username is ipauser, and the password is password. Due to the password policy, this password will need to be changed on first login. Change this password to redhat123.

Central home directories have not yet been configured, so for now, configure the system to automatically create a new local home directory when a user first logs in.

When you have completed your work, run lab ipaclient grade on your desktopX machine to verify your work.

Install the ipa-client package on your desktopX machine.
[student@desktopX ~]$ sudo yum -y install ipa-client

Configure your system, using ipa-client-install, to use the IPA server setup for the serverX.example.com DNS domain. Home directories should automatically be created, and NTP should not be configured during this process.

[student@desktopX ~]$ sudo ipa-client-install --domain=serverX.example.com --no-ntp --mkhomedir
Discovery was successful!
Hostname: desktopX.example.com
Realm: SERVERX.example.com
DNS Domain: serverX.example.com
IPA Server: serverX.example.com
BaseDN: dc=serverX,dc=example,dc=com

Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: yes
User authorized to enroll computers: admin
Password for admin@SERVERX.EXAMPLE.COM: redhat123
...
Client configuration complete.

Verify that you can now successfully log into desktopX as the user ipauser by using ssh. The initial password is password, but this should be changed to redhat123. Due to the password change requirement, you will have to log in twice.

[student@desktopX ~]$ ssh ipauser@desktopX.example.com
ipauser@desktopX.example.com's password: password
Password expired. Change your password now.
Creating home directory for ipauser.
WARNING: Your password has expired.
You must change your password now and login again!
Changing password for user ipauser.
Current password: password
New password: redhat123
Retype new password: redhat123
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Connection to desktopX.example.com closed.
[student@desktopX ~]$ ssh ipauser@desktopX.example.com
ipauser@desktopX.example.com's password: redhat123
Last login: Wed Feb 26 05:19:15 2014 from desktopX.example.com
-sh-4.2$ logout

Run lab ipaclient grade on your desktopX machine to verify your work.
[student@desktopX ~]$ lab ipaclient grade
