The IPA directory service configuration screen shows after selecting IPA in the Configuration Type dropdown list in the Directory Services Configuration screen.
For detailed configuration instructions, see Configuring IPA.
The IPA widget displays after configuring settings for an IPA directory server. The widget shows the Status of the directory server, and the Target Server, Domain, and Base DN.

The Directory Services Configuration screen organizes settings into multiple sections: Basic Configuration, Credential Configuration, IPA Configuration, and SMB Domain Configuration.
