#4016 Add client install option to set ipa_backup_server
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 10 years ago by rcritten.

The client installer currently allows one to pass multiple servers via the --server option to manually configure masters. It does not provide for the failover syntax as described in sssd-ipa(5):

   Failover Syntax
       The list of servers is given as a comma-separated list; any number of
       spaces is allowed around the comma. The servers are listed in order of
       preference. The list can contain any number of servers.

       For each failover-enabled config option, two variants exist: primary
       and backup. The idea is that servers in the primary list are preferred
       and backup servers are only searched if no primary servers can be
       reached. If a backup server is selected, a timeout of 31 seconds is
       set. After this timeout SSSD will periodically try to reconnect to one
       of the primary servers. If it succeeds, it will replace the current
       active (backup) server.

For IPA this directive is ipa_backup_server.


Moving to 4.3, we are too close to 4.2 deadline to be able to handle this stretch RFE.
