Hello,

I'm running latest (as of today) F17 with FreeIPA v.2.2.0. After running
ipa-server-install everything runs alright and IPA is running fine. 389,
kerberos and the rest of the components start up fine. However after
reboot of the machine IPA doesn't want to start, systemctl status
ipa.service reports: 

ipa.service - Identity, Policy, Audit
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ipa.service; enabled)
	  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu, 17 May 2012 23:17:42
+0300; 6min ago
	 Process: 567 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ipactl start (code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ipa.service

May 17 23:17:40 cerberus.intra.evilpuppy.bg ipactl[567]: Failed to read
data from Directory Service: Unknown error when retrieving list of
services from LDAP: [Errno 111] Connection refused
May 17 23:17:40 cerberus.intra.evilpuppy.bg ipactl[567]: Shutting down
May 17 23:17:41 cerberus.intra.evilpuppy.bg ipactl[567]: Starting
Directory Service

and ipactl start just repeats the error:

ipactl start
Starting Directory Service
Failed to read data from Directory Service: Unknown error when
retrieving list of services from LDAP: [Errno 111] Connection refused
Shutting down

If I start ns-slapd by hand with ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA
&& ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-MYREALM, slapd starts, however the
MYREALM instance throws 

etc/dirsrv/slapd-MYREALM/dse.ldif: nsslapd-maxdescriptors:
nsslapd-maxdescriptors: invalid value "8192", maximum file descriptors
must range from 1 to 4096 (the current process limit).  Server will use
a setting of 4096.
[17/May/2012:23:25:29 +0300] - Config Warning: - nsslapd-maxdescriptors:
invalid value "8192", maximum file descriptors must range from 1 to 4096
(the current process limit).  Server will use a setting of 4096.

which however is not a big problem, but it seems ns-slapd doesn't care
about the limits that are setup in the limits.conf.

after starting the directory server I again try with  systemctl start
ipa.service and the result this time is:

ipa.service - Identity, Policy, Audit
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ipa.service; enabled)
	  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu, 17 May 2012 23:28:02

the /var/log/krb5kdc.log reports:

rb5kdc: Server error - while fetching master key K/M for realm MYREALM

>From what I get from the kdc.conf file in /var/kerberos/krb5kdc it seems
like the files
pkinit_identity = FILE:/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.pem
pkinit_anchors = FILE:/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/cacert.pem
are missing in that path, however I don't really know what should
generate those pem certs. From my very basic understanding of how IPA
works I assume that is dogtag's job, and again I assume ipactl
start/systemctl start ipa.service probably should take care of that,
however this doesn't happen.

So any help with this issue is welcome. I can go for LDAP/KRB setup to
use on my virtual/physical machines, however if going down the krb/LDAP
route I think IPA would be far better to support in the long run.

If that might be some help, I'm running x86_64 F17 inside Xen domU. The
host is Fedora 17 Dom0 with a bunch of other CentOS6.2 and NetBSD6 DomU.

I have the exact same situation also with FreeIPA built from git. The
packages from git are  version 2.99:

freeipa-server-selinux-2.99.0GIT46c6ff6-0.fc17.x86_64
freeipa-python-2.99.0GIT46c6ff6-0.fc17.x86_64
freeipa-admintools-2.99.0GIT46c6ff6-0.fc17.x86_64
freeipa-server-2.99.0GIT46c6ff6-0.fc17.x86_64
freeipa-client-2.99.0GIT46c6ff6-0.fc17.x86_64

the 2.2.0 version I also ran was the one in F17. 

Thanks in advance,
BR
