First, update the system packages to ensure that you have the latest security patches.
$ sudo dnf update -y
Install the FreeIPA server package using the following command:
$ sudo dnf install ipa-server -y
Run the following command to configure the FreeIPA server:
$ sudo ipa-server-install
Follow the on-screen prompts to configure the server. You will be asked to provide the DNS domain name for your FreeIPA server, as well as the directory manager password and the Kerberos master password.
Enable the FreeIPA service through the firewall using the following command:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=freeipa-ldap
$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=freeipa-ldaps
$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=freeipa-replication
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
After the installation is complete, you can access the FreeIPA web interface using the URL https:///ipa
