>> The biggest and the most interesting feature of FreeIPA 4.1.2 is support for the two factor authentication using HOTP/TOTP compatible software tokens like FreeOTP (open source compatible alternative to Google Authenticator) and hardware tokens like Yubikeys. This feature allows Kerberos and LDAP clients of a FreeIPA server to authenticate using the normal account password as the first factor and an OTP token as a second factor. For those environments where a 2FA solution is already in place, FreeIPA can act as a proxy via RADIUS. More about this feature can be read here.

The error is obviously in Directory Server restart. I am not sure what causes

2014-12-07T11:16:25Z DEBUG   [2/3]: restarting directory server
2014-12-07T11:16:25Z CRITICAL Failed to restart the directory server ([Errno 2]
No such file or directory:
'/etc/systemd/system/dirsrv.target.wants/dirsrv at EXAMPLE-ORG.service'). See the
installation log for details.

The first restart worked and it uses the same call, AFAIK. It would be
interesting to see the latest logs of the instance after ipa-server-install
crashes:

# systemctl status dirsrv at EXAMPLE-ORG.service

It may have some useful logs that would reveal what happened.
