That means that we rely on the fact that hostname is set to FQDN, right? Isn't it too strong requirement? Maybe we should guess FQDN using reverse lookups I do not know. The bottom line is that at least the IPA installation script should warn about the incorrect hostname. </blockquote> This actually brought a chuckle....we've been through a few iterations of how to deal with this. The approach did do Reverse at one point, but that brought in a few other issues. Needless to say, we've felt your pain on numerous occasions. Kerberos depends on the hostname being right, and none of the auth works without Kerberos. This is an issue that seems to mess people up in testing and evaluation mode, but people want and need it to resolve correctly in live environments. <blockquote cite="mid:4E37FEE3.9010601@s3group.cz" type="cite"> And the error message was bit confusing as well, because from that one none can even guess what went wrong, I even tried to add 'ipactl -d start' to print more debugging, but it did not help either. Just trying to bring some ideas, otherwise I am happy that it is working again for me :-) Thanks!

What we search for is cn=$FQDN,cn=masters,cn=etc That explains the matched part.
