Domain Controller Set Up Through Cockpit
Summary
With Fedora 21, the rolekit project now provides a public D-BUS interface for creating a Domain Controller based on the FreeIPA project. This Change will track adding this capability to the Cockpit management console of Fedora Server.

Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 22
- Last updated: 2015-01-19
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
Providing users with a simple graphical user interface to set up a FreeIPA Domain Controller will provide a fast way to bootstrap an enterprise-grade Linux environment. Once the Domain Controller is made available, it becomes easy to manage single-sign-on between systems (and Cockpit instances), control user authentication and authorization centrally and manage DNS entries (among other things).
Benefit to Fedora
To make Fedora Server more appealing to the novice and intermediate administrator, adding this functionality to Cockpit will significantly reduce the barrier to entry to creating a secure domain based on best-practice policies.
