This document describes using NFSv4 with [http://freeipa.org/page/Main_Page FreeIPA].
+
This has been moved to [[NFS and FreeIPA]].

Historically, setting up a secure NFSv4 export (or even a client) was challenging, requiring the setup of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol) Kerberos] realm and possibly an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDAP LDAP] server.  FreeIPA provides a packaged service of both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol) Kerberos 5] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDAP LDAP] with the purpose of making this process much less painful.

These instructions are for [http://www.fedora.org/ Fedora 15].  Other distros will require similar setup - the key differences will be a package installation tool other than yum(1), and a different config file layout.

For this example I've used a private network (192.168.56.0/24) with a fake DNS realm (example.fake).
+
-
Setup with routable IP addresses and a real DNS realm should be straightforward.
+
-
 
+
-
For this example I run the DNS server on the same machine as the NFSv4 export and the IPA server (server.example.fake).  Of course, these could all be different machines.
+
-
 
+
-
I have not tried setting up freeipa without DNS, or using it's own DNS server.
+
-
 
+
-
I'm using VMs on a private NAT'd network, so I just turned off the firewall on the server!  You probably shouldn't do that!  You'll need to allow traffic on:
+
-
* port 88 for kerberos
+
-
* port 389 for ldap
+
-
* XXX MORE!!

</pre>
+
-
 
+
-
== Other named(1) config ==
+
-
 
+
-
There are a few other things that I needed to configure in my test setup.  You probably don't want to turn off dnssec in real world setups!
+
-
 
+
-
In the "options" section:
+
-
 
+
-
* change the "listen-on" option to include the server's external address ""{ localhost; 192.168.56.20; }"
+
-
* change "allow-query" option to "{ localhost; 192.168.56.0/24 }"
+
-
* change "dnssec-enable" option to "no"
+
-
* change "dnssec-validation" option to "no"
+
-
 
+
-
== restart named ==
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
    - allow service on port 53 with firewall...
+
-
 
+
-
    - change /etc/resolv.conf on both client and server to point to server
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
    - now it works!
+
-
 
+
-
{{{
+

[root@client1 ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
