[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA 4.2.0 on CentOS 7.2 as replica of FreeIPA 3.0.0 on CentOS 6.8; cannot install CA components as replica, cannot promote to master

Tue Jun 7 12:53:28 UTC 2016

This advice has gotten me much further, thanks. We didn't have an HBAC rule for admin and, now with it in place, connection checks and other commands appear to be working that haven't worked before. I'm still getting caught on the CA portion of the replica installation. Confoundingly, neither the ipa-replica-install or ipa-ca-install commands will complete (the former with the —setup-ca option), the latter producing this output in the last few lines of pareplica-ca-install.log:

    sys.exit("A CA is already configured on this system.")

2016-06-07T12:44:32Z DEBUG The ipa-ca-install command failed, exception: SystemExit: A CA is already configured on this system.

This occurs when I run either the replica or ca installer commands a second time.

Best regards,
Dan

By the way, I want to mention the conncheck: if I don't skip it, it
tries to ssh into the master IPA instance as 'admin@<domain>', rather
than the user (root), and fails. All other parts of the connectivity
check work, however. Why does it try to access the master as a Kerberos
principal instead of the process user?

Because the remote master, being an IPA server, should have an admin
account, so it's a known. root over ssh is not allowed in some environments.

There is a ticket open to be able to set the login to be used, right now
admin is hardcoded.

As for the install failure you should now have the appropriate logs to
start diagnosing what was going on in /var/log/pki.

Skipping the conncheck can mask odd problems and should be used sparingly.
