<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

<para>

This manual page describes the configuration of the IPA provider

for

<citerefentry>

<refentrytitle>sssd</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>8</manvolnum>

</citerefentry>.

For a detailed syntax reference, refer to the <quote>FILE FORMAT</quote> section of the

<citerefentry>

<refentrytitle>sssd.conf</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>

</citerefentry> manual page.

</para>

<para>

The IPA provider is a back end used to connect to an IPA server.

(Refer to the freeipa.org web site for information about IPA servers.)

This provider requires that the machine be joined to the IPA domain;

configuration is almost entirely self-discovered and obtained

directly from the server.

</para>

<para>

The IPA provider accepts the same options used by the

<citerefentry>

<refentrytitle>sssd-ldap</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>

</citerefentry> identity provider and the

<citerefentry>

<refentrytitle>sssd-krb5</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>

</citerefentry> authentication provider.

However, it is neither necessary nor recommended to set these options.
