Testing using Fedora Desktops w/ FreeIPA server and found that plugging in domain and username for my FreeIPA server resulted in error of " Couldn't connect to the ipa.xxxxxxx.xxx domain: Cannot find KDC for realm "IPA.XXXXXXX.XXX".
Since F29 no longer gives option to give password for root in Anaconda.(Yet another follow the Ubuntu-ites, like getting rid of the mail server instead of configuring it for local mail, and configuring the first user to get get system mails in Evolution), I had to create an account just to install freeipa-client.
So Fedora cannot connect to FreeIPA ( ie Redhat IdM) out of the box. Seems to me that there is an issue here.
