1. As security Kerberos can ticket and in memory can be taken and that session

Can be used to gain access every where. Primarily this because the plan is to 
use the solution in cloud.

You can use Kerberos in the cloud. It is not worse of better than certs.
If you can read memory of a machine you can (potentially) read its keys.
But this is the general risk that you take going into the cloud regardless whether you use PKI or Kerberos.

In general you do not want to store long term keys in the images but rather add them on the fly when the system is instantiated.
The ipa-client-install with OTP registration code provides this capability.

It seems that you are trying to overcomplicate things with no obvious reason. If you need help with picking a better approach lest us know what exactly you are trying to accomplish.


2. Can I disable DNS as well? And have IPA to run only ldap, ssh key rotation 
and pki ?

3. As during the install, DNS and Kerberos are getting installed and configured.

I would really appreciate if you can get back.

Thank you

Hi,

I am tried to run some of my user cases with FreeIPA.

Have FreeIPA to do only SSH key management in LDAP and PKI management.

The understand that every request is kerberized and it has the DNS is must

Can I have FreeIPA to run only SSH Key management with LDAP and a PKI server 
with dogtag?

Thank you

You can't turn off Kerberos. You would need Kerberos for administration.
But other clients can take advantage of LDAP and SSH only.
However you are significantly limiting your functionality and capabilities.
Kerberos is really the key of the solution.

What is the reason you try to avoid using it?
