I am setting up FreeIPA on SUSE. I have one server and one client. I installed slapd on the server with these configs:
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/rfc2307bis.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/yast.schema
pidfile /run/slapd/slapd.pid
argsfile /run/slapd/slapd.args
access to dn.base=""
by * read
access to dn.base="cn=Subschema"
by * read
access to attrs=userPassword,userPKCS12
by self write
by * auth
access to attrs=shadowLastChange
by self write
by * read
access to *
by * read
database bdb
suffix "dc=test,dc=org"
checkpoint 1024 5
cachesize 10000
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=org"
rootpw secret
directory /var/lib/ldap
index objectClass eq
On the client side, when I start sssd I get this error and fail:
Oct 18 10:01:55 idp-client.test.org sssd[17694]: (Sat Oct 18 10:01:55 2025) [sssd] [ldb] (0x0400): asq: Unable to register control with rootdse
This is my sssd config on the client:
[sssd]
debug_level = 9
domains = test.org
services = nss, pam
[domain/test.org]
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://idp-server.test.org
ldap_search_base = dc=test,dc=org
Can you please help me in this regard? I could not find an MOP in this regard. Can somebody provide me with the steps to install FreeIPA on SUSE from scratch?
ipa-server-install
command (a python script) was available and did the heavy lifting of configuring the main components, including the LDAP server. I also got a cheap developer subscription to RedHat which gave me access to their repos. Might be more expensive now, though.
