[Freeipa-users] ipa-server-install and ipactl fails after reboot

[Andreas Calminder]

Solved this on my own.
In case anyone else hits this on rhel7 ipa-server 4.1.0-18, just start 
the dirsrv and tomcat instances by hand:
# systemctl start dirsrv at REALM.NAME
# systemctl start pki-tomcatd at pki-tomcat.service

and then run your installer again:

# ipa-server-install --external-cert-file=ca_chain_and_ipa_cert.pem

Sorry for the noise!
