[Freeipa-users] certificates expired - won't renew

I set time back on master ca and was able to renew its certs except for one that has yet to expire but should have renewed. I tried to resubmit it but it still does not renew and status says NEED_CSR_GEN_TOKEN. We do have a go daddy cert we use as well but it is valid still. Is it because of the nickname mismatches? I am not sure how to fix that.

My other servers had varying degrees of success with their expired certificates, I have one server that would not renew 6 of its certs, 1 that would not renew 2 of its certs and 1 that would not renew 1 of its certs. These are examples of the last two - I will save the one that won't renew 6 as I am hoping I can apply same steps to those failures.

Rob you are awesome and I don't know what I would do without you. So I have two things going on obviously. Following your instructions it looks like the DM password has correctly been set. I cannot change the admin password as a test because I get the cert errors. I am going to retry setting dates back and requesting new certs again following some of the threads I have seen. Could you please just clarify two points? On my 4 servers all running as CAs do I only need to set the date back to prior to expired certs running ipa-getcert list or the earliest expired date when running getcert list? The getcert list shows certs that have been expired since June but the ipa-getcert shows more recent. Also, does it matter which servers I do first? Meaning should I set time back on my "master" CA first.
This is the expiration output info from my master:
[root at ipa2 ~]# ipa-getcert list | grep expires
    expires: 2016-08-26 16:41:24 UTC
    expires: 2016-08-26 16:41:23 UTC
    expires: 2016-08-26 16:41:24 UTC
[root at ipa2 ~]# getcert list | grep expires
    expires: 2016-08-26 16:41:24 UTC
    expires: 2016-08-15 16:47:26 UTC
    expires: 2016-08-26 16:41:23 UTC
    expires: 2016-08-26 16:41:24 UTC

Again thank you, as always.

It is related. Your CA can't connect to its database. You must have 
missed a step when updating the DM password.

As a goof I just tried it on my RHEL 6 install and it seems to work, 
this is what I did:

# service dirsrv stop
# /usr/bin/pwdhash password

edit both /etc/dirsrv/slapd-REALM/dse.ldif and 
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/dse.ldif to set nsslapd-rootpw

# service dirsrv start

Check both of the new passwords:

# ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -W -s base -b "" 
"objectclass=*"
# ldapsearch -h localhost -po 7389 -x -D "cn=directory manager" -W -s 
base -b "" "objectclass=*"

Update internaldb value in /etc/pki-ca/password.conf with the new password.

Update and test the admin user password:

# ldappasswd -h localhost -ZZ -p 7389 -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -S 
uid=admin,ou=people,o=ipaca
# ldapsearch -h localhost -ZZ -p 7389 -x -D 
"uid=admin,ou=people,o=ipaca" -W -b "" -s base

Restart the CA

# service pki-cad restart

Note that things _still_ aren't going to work so hot with all the 
expired certs but if you go back in time you will at least have a chance 
of renewing things.
