Implementing FreeIPA as a central Identity Management Solution

Print PDF

Similar to above, you can create a new group as follows

[root@ds01 ~]# ipa group-add mygroup
Description: My test group
---------------------
Added group "mygroup"
---------------------
Group name: mygroup
Description: My test group
GID: 1272000003
[root@ds01 ~]#

Now lets add a user to the new group

[root@ds01 ~]# ipa group-add-member mygroup
[member user]: dmacartney
[member group]:
Group name: mygroup
Description: My test group
GID: 1272000003
Member users: dmacartney
-------------------------
Number of members added 1
-------------------------
[root@ds01 ~]#

Should ever need to delete a group, you can do the following

[root@ds01 ~]# ipa group-del mygroup
-----------------------
Deleted group "mygroup"
-----------------------
[root@ds01 ~]#

That’s all I’m going to cover in an introduction to FreeIPA today.
Stay tuned as I will be writing how to set up multi-master replication shortly.
