Description of problem: On the IPA server I can not use an IPA login. The login fails becuase it can not create /home/dean/.ICEauthority. On the IPA server there is no home directory created for the user. On IPA clients there is the --mkhomedir option for ipa-client-install, but there does not seem to be a similar option for the client when using ipa-server-install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed Packages freeipa-admintools.x86_64 3.1.2-1.fc18 @updates freeipa-client.x86_64 3.1.2-1.fc18 @updates freeipa-python.x86_64 3.1.2-1.fc18 @updates freeipa-server.x86_64 3.1.2-1.fc18 @updates freeipa-server-selinux.x86_64 3.1.2-1.fc18 @updates How reproducible: Consistent Steps to Reproduce: 1. ipa-server-install .... 2. ipa user-add new-user .... 3. reboot 4. login as new-user Actual results: Dialog box with "Can not create /home/new-user/.ICEauthority" Expected results: Successful login Additional info: Work-around is to execute: authconfig --enablemkhomedir --update BEFORE ipa-server-install.
IMO, all we need to do is to add ipa-client-install's flag --mkhomedir also to ipa-server-install and ipa-replica-install.
--mkhomedir
ipa-server-install
ipa-replica-install
