Configuration

The machine must first be configured as an IPA client. It is not mandatory to be run on the nova controller but it is recommended.

The installer novajoin-install configures nova to use the novajoin service as a dynamic metadata provider, configures the novajoin notification and REST services and configures IPA to grant access to a role that allows management of hosts.

There are four ways to provide authentication for the IPA integration:

  1. kinit before running the script and use the --no-kinit option.
  2. Set the Kerberos principal with --principal and pass the password on the command-line using --password.
  3. Set the Kerberos principal with --principal and pass the password in a file using --password-file.
  4. Let the installer prompt the user for the password.
