[Freeipa-users] Globalsign External CA Certificate Import Failure

[James Scollard]

When attempting to run the second part of the installation with an 
external CA (Globalsign) using my signed certificate and CA certificate 
chain I get the following;

[root at ldapm6x00 ~]# ipa-server-install 
--external_cert_file=/root/ldapm6x00.sun.weather.com.crt 
--external_ca_file=/root/sun.weather.com.crt

The log file for this installation can be found in 
/var/log/ipaserver-install.log
Directory Manager password:

Subject of the external certificate is not correct (got 
CN=*.sun.weather.com,O=The Weather Channel Interactive\, 
Inc,L=Atlanta,ST=Georgia,C=US, expected CN=Certificate 
Authority,O=SUN.WEATHER.COM).

CN= and O= are correct, so why is IPA refusing to use the certificate?  
It appears to be expecting bogus data instead of using the provided 
identity.  This doesnt appear to be an issue with the certificate, 
although I have never installed FreeIPA with a Globalsign certificate.  
I did nto see this problem with Network Solutions wildcard certificates 
though.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
