I am running RHEL 7.9 beta with ipa-server-4.6.8-2.el7.x86_64. I tried to install ipa server and I received the error message "ipapython.admintool: ERROR Invalid domain name: single label domains are not supported". I am trying to use the domain name idm.my.windows.domain.local. (The "my.windows.domain" part I made up for this post.) If I'm understanding the error message correctly I can't use the ".local" domain at the end of the domain name. The reason is because ".local" is not a real top level domain. Is this correct ? Is there any work around for this ?

The problem isn't .local. What value did you pass for --domain (or enter interactively)? If you passed idm.my.windows.domain.local then this error shouldn't have triggered.

Hello rob, This is the command that I was trying to install ipa-server with: ipa-server-install -no-ntp. I just realized that I was missing one dash. So, I changed the command to --no-ntp and it installed correctly. I'm guessing that the installer should have told me that I had a bad option and not given me an error message about single domain error.

-n is the short option for domain so this was equivalent to:
ipa-server-install --domain o-ntp
So just an unfortunate coincidence.
