[Freeipa-users] pki-tomcat will not start after certificate renewal

[Joseph Vandermas]

I got really busy sorry about the delay. It was a coworker who renewed our 
CA cert during an upgrade from Centos 6 to Centos 7. I remember him saying 
during the upgrade the CA broke and he had to mess around with it. 
According to him "Pretty sure I did the walk the clock back thing, but 
it's been so long I don't remember." As for pki-tomcat it certs where 
renewed automatically.

I have tried the work around that was suggested on the open bug and that 
did not fix my issue.

Both of these are valid CA certificates and when I run openssl verify with ether of them as the CA and the new subsystem certificate I get an OK message. I also believe that this issue is causing me not to be able to do a ipa-certupdate on the broken IPA server. Is there a way to to clean this up, should I try renewing the CA certificate and get rid of the old LDAP entries?
