Doing this will break ipa-client-automount and ipa-certupdate, because
they assume that api.env.host contains the hostname of the local
system
(which is the default value).

It looked suspiciously simple so I could expect that there is some
catch.

There is obviously some confusion about what the option should
represent
(documentation says server hostname, code does client hostname),
IMO we
should resolve that first.

Ok, are there any suggestions? What is the desired state?

AIUI the server option is deprecated because it wasn't being used, not
that it needed to be replaced. I believe that in most cases the server
name is pulled from the xmlrpc_uri.

Yes, that's what the ticket says:
<https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3071>.

Ok, adding 'host' entry with local host name.

host has always meant the local host name.

I think the man page is wrong.

Fixing the line in man page.

ACK as long as this works for Nalin.

The other half of this was cases where there's no ldap_uri set.  Just so
there's no confusion, if ldap_uri and/or server_uri are not set, what
are the recommended fallback settings that should be used for
constructing them?  I suspect it's "server", then "host", which is the
reverse of the order that they're currently being consulted, but I
figured I'd ask while we're all here.

"ldap_uri" is set only on servers, on clients you should use "server" (we should probably un-deprecate it). You could use "host" as a fallback, but it will only work on servers, as it points to the local host. IMO the right order is "server", then "ldap_uri", then maybe "host".


Thanks,

Nalin
