How to connect via ip address

[Skurat]

After I clone Aker ssh gateway repo, I connected to host with aker (with idp = IPA), and saw list of hosts, but aker try connect to host via hostname, and return "[Errno -2] Name or service not known" . I need connect via ip address, how can I do it ?

Hi @Skurat,
I you are using the json IDP, you may set the IP address in the hostname field.
On the connection screen, it displays the server name, and then it would use the IP in place
of the hostname during connection.

Thanks you) But if I use idp IPA?)

Using IPA idp, you can't right now. As IPA always return hostnames.
Why would you connect with IP ?
If you have FreeIPA configured, you should have a DNS server which resolve your server's hostname ?
May you describe a bit more your need ?

@Skurat FreeIPA requires proper DNS setup - irrelevant to Aker presence - to function correctly.

Do all servers point to a nameserver that can resolve the hostnames stored in FreeIPA?
