[Freeipa-users] I think I lost my CA...

[Bret Wortman]

Using the firefox debugger, I get these errors when trying to pop up the 
New Certificate dialog:

    Empty string passed to getElementById().             (5) 
    jquery.js:4:1060
    TypeError: u is undefined app.js:1:362059
    Empty string passed to getElementById().             (5)
    jquery.js:4:1060
    TypeError: t is undefined app.js:1:217432

I'm definitely not a web kind of guy so I'm not sure if this is helpful 
or not. This is on 4.4.0, API Version 2.213.
