Which of the following subcommands exist for ipactl? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• Astop
• Buser-add

• Djoin
• Estart

• A
  93% (26)
• B
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

ipactl is the IPA server control command - it manages all IPA services collectively, similar to how systemctl controls system services. Its valid subcommands are limited to service lifecycle operations: start, stop, restart, and status, making A and E correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. user-add belongs to the ipa command (e.g., ipa user-add), which handles directory objects like users, groups, and hosts - not server control.
• C. export-keytab is not an ipactl subcommand; keytab operations are handled by ipa-getkeytab.
• D. join is not an ipactl subcommand; client enrollment uses ipa-client-install or the separate ipa-join binary.

Memory tip: Think of ipactl as "systemctl for IPA" - it only does what a service controller does: start, stop, restart, status. Any command that sounds like it manages data (users, keytabs, joining) belongs to a different tool.
