Package: checkipaconsistency
Formerly known as ipa_check_consistency and check_ipa_consistencyTool to check consistency across FreeIPA serversThe tool can be used as a standalone consistency checker as well as a
Nagios/Opsview plug-in (checkNagios section
belowfor more info).The script was originally written and then developed in BASH (until
versionv1.3.0)
and eventually ported to Python in v2.0.0.It has been tested with multiple FreeIPA 4.2+ deployments across a range
of operating systems.Requirements:FreeIPA 4.2+Python 2.7+/3.3+Python modules listed inrequirements.txtIf you spot any problems or have any improvement ideas then feel free to
open an issue and I will be glad to look into it for you.InstallationA recommended way of installing the tool is pip install.Once installed, a command line toolcipashould be available in your
system’s PATH.WARNING: Never attempt pip install as root!If you do, pip will install new dependencies globally and override
existing packages with potentially incompatible versions. This is
particularly important when installing ``cipa`` on a machine running
FreeIPA server.You should either install the package as an unprivileged user with
``pip install –user`` or use a virtual environment.pip installPlease note, in RHEL/CentOS systems you may need to install the
following packages:$ sudo yum install python-devel openldap-develThe tool is available in PyPI and can be installed using pip:$ pip install --user checkipaconsistency
$ cipa --helpManual installRun the following command to install required Python modules:$ git clone https://github.com/peterpakos/checkipaconsistency.git
$ cd checkipaconsistency
$ pip install --user -r requirements.txt
$ ./cipa --helpConfigurationBy default, the tool reads its configuration from~/.config/checkipaconsistencyfile (the location can be overridden
by setting environment variableXDG_CONFIG_HOME). If the config file
(or directory) does not exist then it will be automatically created and
populated with sample config upon the next run. Alternatively, you can
specify all required options directly from the command line.Help$ cipa --help

OK - Active UsersLDAP ConflictsNormally conflicting changes between replicas are resolved automatically
(the most recent change takes precedence). However, there are cases
where manual intervention is required. If you see LDAP conflicts in the
output of this script, you need to find the conflicting entries and
decide which of them should be preserved/deleted.More information on solving common replication conflicts can be foundhere.
