[Freeipa-users] problem creating replica

[Pete Brown]

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to create a replica of my freeipa server.
I am following the docs but they are not working for me.
I am getting the vague impression I am missing a step that doesn't
seem to be documented.

For the record all the posts listed are open and it was a clean
install of Fedora 18.

I thought the server may need to be a client of the master before I
set it up as a replica but it just said I needed to uninstall the
client setup.

After running ipa-replica-prepare on the master and scping the file to
the new replica.
I ran this command on the new replica
ipa-replica-install --setup-ca --mkhomedir --ssh-trust-dns --setup-dns
--forwarder=XXX.XXX.XXX.XX --forwarder=XX.XXX.XXX.XXX
/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-ipa2.domain.com.gpg

The error I am seeing is from that command is this:
Cannot acquire Kerberos ticket: kinit: Cannot read password while
getting initial credentials

Connection check failed!
Please fix your network settings according to error messages above.
If the check results are not valid it can be skipped with
--skip-conncheck parameter.

So I cleaned everything off (i think) and tried it with this command

ipa-replica-install --setup-ca --mkhomedir --ssh-trust-dns --setup-dns
--forwarder=61.9.211.33 --forwarder=61.9.211.1 --skip-conncheck
/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-ipa2.webgatetec.com.gpg

This seems to actually start the install and setup process i remember
from installing the ipa server initially

This it fails with this output

Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.

Configuration of CA failed

I even tried cleaning it again at that point and made sure all the
ports were open and still got the same error.

I also switched selinux to permissive mode cleaned up and rebooted but
that didn't help either

Can someone please point out what I need to do to get this working.

Thanks in advance.
Pete.
