Centos 8.2.2004 (Core) not pulling FreeIPA 4.8

[Damjan Kumin]

Hello guys,

regardless what officially I do, my Centos is not pulling latest FreeiPA binaries to install, it sticks with 4.7
Since everything is working, it is not a deal-breaker, but still, now that everything is stable and config is absolutely correct, it would be time to upgrade and stay up to date with all fixes.
Any help on this topic please? Thanks in advance!

We need more information on the release of CentOS you have to know which
version you might expect.

Note that we have zero control over what CentOS does and very little (if
any) influence over them.

As stated in title, It is running on Cent OS 8.2.2004 (Core). I know we have little or none influence on what they publish but then again I also should have option to download RPM manually and install it, right? Also, I did not find it to be honest..

Still terse. What have you tried? What commands are you using? What
modules do you have enabled? What exactly are you seeing when you try to
update?

In RHEL 8.2.0 I can do:

# dnf module enable idm:DL1
# dnf info ipa-server

rob,

thanks. You solved it for me - enabling idm:DL1 did the trick. Now I am upgrading to 4.8.4 as I type this. Though as far as I can remember I did not manually install IPA and it seems that it is provided trough Identity Management system module of CentOS 8 AppStream repo. No clue how it got disabled, never even checked it. Thanks again for reminding me to cover basics!

You need to start with RHEL IdM documentation as it has the required
procedure well documented.

https://www.freeipa.org/page/Documentation#User_Guides -> 
"Getting started using Identity Management" ->
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/htm...
