===== What? =====
Just some notes on a minimal setup of IdM. This is really only for testing and reproducer setups. This is tested on RHEL7.7+.

===== ipa setup on rhel =====

===== create users automated =====
<code>

#!/bin/bash
ipa user-add --first $1 --last $1 $1
echo 'redhat12' | ipa passwd $1 --
EOT

chmod +x createuser.sh
for i in $(seq 2 2000); do 
  ./createuser.sh user$i;

===== create users automated (from Simo) =====
<code>
# requires you kinit as admin first):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

# Pass user name as first argument and password as second argument

ipa user-add $1 --first Test --last User
echo "test" | ipa passwd $1
ldappasswd -D uid=$1,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=org,dc=local -w test -a test -s $2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# In this example no escaping is performed, so you'll need to add it to user 
# names/password if you want to use characters that may cause shell expansion.

===== set a new users password so he has not to change it =====
<code>
# requires you kinit as admin first):

cp /etc/ipa/ca.crt /etc/openldap/cacerts/

===== creating a IdM replica =====
<code>
# rhel7u6a will be the replica.
yum install -y ipa-server bind bind-dyndb-ldap
