It sounds like you don't have a ticket when running on the command-line. 
Do a kinit first.

You might check /var/log/httpd/error_log for additional details. You can 
enable server-side debugging by creating /etc/ipa/server.conf with the 
contents:

[global]
debug = True

and restart httpd

Not sure if you can, but it might be helpful to see what IP address 
you're trying to add.
