What docs do you look at? It's pretty clearly documented at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/installing_identity_management > I don't know give us something like a environment variable where we can add a > plugin path, then we simply mount a volume with the extensions in whatever > format/structure it needs and point to it using the env var.

This requirement is specified in your specfile, not something IPA imposes. If you a building only for RHEL 8 (or clone) then you can drop all the RHEL-7 boilerplate, and probably much of the older Fedora stuff as well. rob _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to freeipa-users-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
