[Freeipa-users] Another CA replica install issue

[Dan Scott]

Hi,

I'm having another replica CA install issue. Fedora 16 with latest
updates applied this morning:

ipa-ca-install replica-info-fileserver4.example.com.gpg

I found a SELinux error:

type=AVC msg=audit(1332788252.062:222): avc:  denied  { name_connect }
for  pid=3042 comm="java" dest=43323
scontext=system_u:system_r:pki_ca_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:ephemeral_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket

But the install still failed in the same way after I put SELinux into
enforcing mode.

Thanks,
