[Freeipa-users] Client not installing

[Hatim Diab]

Hi All,

I have a new installation of freeipa 

ipa-server-3.0.0-37.el6.x86_64
on CentOS 6.5

one of my clients stopped authentication last night, I performed a ipa-client-install —uninstall from the client then on trying to delete the the host 

# ipa host-del client.x.y.z
ipa: ERROR: Certificate format error: [Errno -5925] error (-5925) unknown

/var/log/krb5kdc.log

trying to add back the client 
[root at client ~]# ipa-client-install --domain=<doamin> --server=<server>
Autodiscovery of servers for failover cannot work with this configuration.
If you proceed with the installation, services will be configured to always access the discovered server for all operations and will not fail over to other servers in case of failure.
Proceed with fixed values and no DNS discovery? [no]: yes
Hostname: <server>
Realm: <realm>
DNS Domain: <domain>
IPA Server: <server>
BaseDN: dc=<baseDN>

Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: yes
