Parent article: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 released

In this release IPA[1] has changed from being a technology preview to a fully supported component. Has anybody had any success in deploying IPA/FreeIPA, or is now considering deploying it?

There a good bunch of users/admins successfully deploying it. You might want to look at the archives of the users mailing list to follow some deployment discussions.

IPA/FreeIPA in RHEL 6.2

I evaulated it this week in a VM environment. If you are willing to hand over DNS control to it and follow carefully along with the documentation and 'gotchas' then it's dead simple to setup a Kerberos/LDAP/PKI Linux domain.

How it translates to real world usage is something else. But as far as the setup it's dead simple.
