If I combine this and the previous output, it seems that:

- PKI starts normally
- ipactl has troubles with determining that PKI started and after 5mins
of failed attempts it stops whole IPA (expected behavior when a service
doesn't start)

The failed attempt is:
"""

ipa: DEBUG: Starting external process
ipa: DEBUG: args='/usr/bin/wget' '-S' '-O' '-' '--timeout=30'
'--no-check-certificate'

ipa: DEBUG: The CA status is: check interrupted due to error: Command

"""

It says "Unable to establish SSL connection", it would be good to get
more details.

Also given that the CA cert was renewed on April 3rd and that all certs
expires after that date, we should rather use date April 4th when moving
the date back.

So first start IPA again (date April 4th) but force it to not stop services

1. ipactl start --force
wait until all is started
2. wget -v -d -S -O - --timeout=30 --no-check-certificate
https://zsipa.private.net:443/ca/admin/ca/getStatus

optionally (assuming that CA won't be turned of)
3. getcert list
