[Freeipa-users] Replica created with expired certs

[Jim Richard]

another interesting thing, my httpd/error_logs are constantly getting spammed with: (I removed the stuff between the single quotes)

Notice those names don’t match, should they? 

Me thinks not since those “principal=“ items are ALMOST all hosts that no longer exist in the FreeIPA system. I rare few do exist.

So, that’s weird :)

This error is usually seen when one tries to open a non-existent database, which in this case is a very strange thing, especially since it goes from working to non-working in the same apache process over a few minutes.

An strace is a brute-force way to see the file open but finding the right process to attach to is a bit of an art.
