[Freeipa-users] Unable to set up freeIPA on a fresh ubuntu 16.04.1 install

[David Kowis]

I'm new to this, but super excited to find a nice authentication
solution. Trying to figure out why part of the installation failed,
perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction?

The `ipa-server-install` command makes it all the way through, except to
where it starts to do the client install. In the logs I see this:

On the original console where the install happens:

<snip>
Skipping synchronizing time with NTP server.
New SSSD config will be created

Forwarding 'ping' to json server 'https://freeipavm.dark.kow.is/ipa/json'
Cannot connect to the server due to generic error: Authentication method
not supported: sasl mechanism not supported
Installation failed. As this is IPA server, changes will not be rolled back.
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(Server): ERROR    Configuration
of client side components failed!
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(Server): ERROR    The
ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log
for more information


A google search for freeipa authentication method not supported sasl
mechanism not supported

Or just for freeipa sasl mechanism not supported doesn't find me
anything useful :(

Perhaps someone else has had this error before, or maybe just knows what
I need to do?

Thanks in advance!
