To create another administrative user: % kinit admin@FREEIPA.ORG % /usr/sbin/ipa-adduser -f Test -l User test % ldappasswd -Y GSSAPI -h localhost -s password uid=test,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=freeipa,dc=org % /usr/sbin/ipa-groupmod -a test admins An admin user is just a regular user in the group admin.
