            Now I seem to be stuck. I tried uninstalling the<br>
            freeipa-server package<br>
            with # yum remove freeipa-server and then reinstalled it the<br>
            same way,<br>
            but ipa-server-install won't run no matter what I attempt.<br>
<br>
            Any thoughts? I'm pretty new to IPA.<br>
<br>
<br>
        There is a good chance this is due to a version mismatch between<br>
        the IPA packages and the dogtag packages. You didn't mention<br>
        which OS you're using nor the versions of the relevant packages,<br>
        that would have been helpful. In any event I would make sure all<br>
        your packages are up to date.<br>
