Thank You All That's what I usually do. The install process is so fast and easy that it's almost not worth it to troubleshoot problems.

the problem was related to PAM Configuration to allow the authentication by the login screen

But now regarding this setup , if the user login on a machine and saved his files on his home directory , when he logs again on other machine he will not get his files , so how can we make all user's files saved on the server and the client just is mounting his home directory ?.

If you set up an NFS server and use ipa-client-automount you can set it up on the client. You have to set up the auto mount in FreeIPA first though. For home directories you will want to use an indirect mount.

now i have configured the NFS to export the /home in the same server of the IPA Server ,
should i use the autofs configuration on the client or just the command ipa-client-automount ?
also what i should do from the ipa server ? -

also what i should do from the ipa server ?Dont do the manual set up on the client. On the IPA server, under the automount tab just configure where you want the mount to come from. Then on the client run ipa-install-automount and it will set everything.
