IPA client shall automatically fail over to a different IPA server if its “preferred” IPA server is not available.
We can do something similar to what we did in v1:
Try them in that order until we connect.
ipa command failover freeipa-494-failover.patch
master: 1df10a8
If there is just one configured server (e.g. the host in /etc/ipa/default.conf matches the SRV host in DNS) then failover is basically skipped. A way to test this is to manually set your /etc/ipa/default.conf to a non-existent host or a non-IPA server. Run with -v to show the various connection attempts. We run a new command, ping(), to check availability.
