#4981 ipa-client-install configures IPA server as NTP source even if IPA server has not ntpd configured
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by mbasti.

ipa-client-install uses NTP SRV records to do first synchronization.

However, ipa-client-install without --ntp-server option, always configure IPA server as time source (/etc/ntp.conf), even if ntpd is not configured on server, respectively NTP SRV records are pointing to different server.

Proposed solutions:

  • set up source in ntp.conf from NTP SRV records
  • investigate if chronyd support NTP SRV records to detect time source (which allow to modify NTP source on demand)

It would be nice to allow add more than only one server into ntp.conf

master:

  • e395bdb ipa client: make --ntp-server option multivalued
  • e55d8ee ipa client: use NTP servers detected from SRV
