#4317 Allow --ip-address even when not present in local interface
Closed: fixed 6 years ago Opened 10 years ago by mkosek.

Closed: fixed
Reopen Issue

Cloud VM instances (in OpenStack or EC2) often have a concept of private IP address assigned to it's network interfaces and a public IP address that can be assigned to a VM. The public IP is just routed to the VM and thus not present in the interfaces.

ipa-server-install --ip-address=PUBLIC_IP fails in that case and the IP address of the server needs to be reassigned after the installation:

# ipa-server-install --setup-dns --ip-address 1.2.3.4
Usage: ipa-server-install [options]

ipa-server-install: error: option --ip-address: invalid IP address 1.2.3.4: No network interface matches the provided IP address and netmask

It would be better to turn the error just in a warning and let Administrator use the value when sure it is the right address.

Moving to OpenStack integration bucket. As discussed on the triage, it would be preferred if a --force option is added, instead of just a warning.
