System: Request FreeIPA SSL certificate for Cockpit’s web server
When enrolling into a FreeIPA domain, an SSL
certificate is requested from the IPA server and stored in
/etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/10-ipa.cert. Cockpit’s web server will then use that
certificate instead of the default self-signed one. The IPA server’s
certificate authority is trusted by default and accepted by web browsers,
OpenSSL, curl, and other network clients.
Services: Show unit relationships
The details of a systemd service now shows dependency, ordering, and other relationships to units:
Provide motd help about how to access cockpit
