[Freeipa-users] Original master lost, cannot create additional CA clones

Tue Mar 21 15:42:14 UTC 2017

Hi all,
   Some time ago, I encountered issues requiring my first IPA master to be re-initialized, which failed, forcing me to remove it from the domain. While those original issues have since been resolved, I am having difficulty replacing the system. I can create a new replica, but I cannot use the '--setup-ca' option, nor can I run 'ipa-ca-install'. I have been working on this for quite some time, and seem to be going in circles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(host and domain names have been modified)
ipasrv001 was the original master, installed using an external CA, no DNS and no NTP. DNS and NTP are already provided in my environment.
ipasrv201 is a replica installed with --setup-ca, which has since been re-configured as the new CA master following this guide:
https://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/Promote_CA_to_Renewal_and_CRL_Master#Procedure_in_FreeIPA_.3C_4.0
I have also pointed cs-replication to this system from all other replicas. I used ipasrv201 to generate new replica-info for ipasrv001.

These systems are Enterprise Linux 6.8. Current software versions are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at ipasrv001 ~]# rpm -qa --queryformat='%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n' ipa-server pki-ca 389-ds-base java-1.7.0-openjdk certmonger
certmonger 0.77.5-2.el6
pki-ca 9.0.3-50.el6_8

java-1.7.0-openjdk 1.7.0.111-2.6.7.2.0.1.el6_8
ipa-server 3.0.0-50.el6_8.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I receive the following error when attempting to create a new replica:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.

I have tried deploying a new replica to freshly installed systems, and the same problem occurs. I have backups from when IPA was first installed, if any config files or certificates need to be brought back. I can provide further log excerpts if needed.

Thank you in advance,
Paul Brennan
