It went well, and we've been up and running nicely on 4.4.0 on C7 for the past month or so. Today, someone came and asked me to generate a new certificate for their web server. All was good until I went to the IPA UI and tried to perform Actions->New Certificate, which did nothing. I tried each of our 3 servers in turn. All came back with no popup window and no error, either. I suspect the problem might be that we no longer have a CA server due to the method I used to upgrade the servers. I likely missed a "--setup-ca" in there somewhere, so my rolling update rolled over the CA. What's my best hope of recovery? I never ran this before, so I'm not sure if this shows that I'm missing a CA or not: <blockquote> # ipa ca-find ------------ 1 CA matched ------------ Name: ipa Description IPA CA Authority ID: 3ce3346[...] Subject DN: CN=Certificate Authority, O=DAMASCUSGRP.COM Issuer DN: CN=Certificate Authority,O=DAMASCUSGRP.COM ---------------------------- Number of entries returned 1 ---------------------------- # ipa ca-add dg --desc "Damascus Group" --subject "CN=DG CA, O=DAMASCUSGRP.COM" ipa: ERROR: Failed to authenticate to CA REST API # klist Ticket cache: KEYRING:persistent:0:0 Default principal: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:admin@DAMASCUSGRP.COM">admin@DAMASCUSGRP.COM</a> Valid starting Expires Service principal 04/25/2017 18:48:26 04/26/2017 18:48:21 <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:krbtgt/DAMASCUSGRP.COM@DAMASCUSGRP.COM">krbtgt/DAMASCUSGRP.COM@DAMASCUSGRP.COM</a> # </blockquote> What's my best path of recovery? <div class="moz-signature">-- <div>Bret Wortman</div> <div>The Damascus Group </div> </div> </blockquote> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> </body> </html>
