[Freeipa-users] hostgroup automember rules

[Angus Clarke]

Hello

FreeIPA 4.6.8

We are very happy with hostgroup automember rules based on servername attribute however
one of our internal customers uses a generic servername template for all of their servers
regardless of its function.

So I'm wondering what other attributes I might use for hostgroup automember - perhaps
some of the attributes can be configured by the ipa-client-install (the host's
"description" field perhaps) although I don't see such mention in the man
page ... Presumably they could use a different enrollment user ("enrolledby")
for each of their hostgroup functions (not ideal.)

There are various attribute fields in the WebUI but I don't find much documentation
for them. What is the "|" field - perhaps I can exploit this somehow?

Any advice gladly received.

Thanks a lot
Angus
