.SH "NAME"
novajoin\-server \- REST service to accept nova dynamic metadata requests
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
novajoin\-server
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The novajoin server provides dynamic metadata to nova in order to facilitate
enrolling new instances as IPA clients.
In order for a host to be enrolled the property ipa_enroll must be set
to True in the instance metadata.
A cloud-init script is pushed to the instance by nova. This script will
install the packages required by ipa-client-install and fetch the
OTP and hostname from nova. This request will create a host in IPA using
the hostname of instance_name + novajoin domain, and a One-Time Password
(OTP) that will be used by ipa-client-install to enroll the host.
In the case where config_drive is True in either the instance or globally
in nova then the IPA host is generated at instance creation time rather
than when needed.
