Bug 458978

Description of problem:
If installing ipa on a system that previously had RHDS installed (and has old data files laying around), the ipa-server-install script fails when it attempts to create data files for the new DS instances. This occurs because the original RHDS has nobody.nobody owning some of its data, while IPA uses dirsrv.dirsrv.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove old RHDS with rpm -e
2. install IPA rpms
3. run ipa-server-install
  
Actual results:
[root@ds101-dev yum.repos.d]# ipa-server-install 

The log file for this installation can be found in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log
==============================================================================
This program will setup the IPA Server.

This includes:
  * Configure the Network Time Daemon (ntpd)
  * Create and configure an instance of Directory Server
  * Create and configure a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC)
  * Configure Apache (httpd)
  * Configure TurboGears

An existing Directory Server has been detected.
Do you wish to remove it and create a new one? [no]: yes
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer
on which you're setting up server software. Using the form
<hostname>.<domainname>
Example: master.example.com.


Server host name [ds101-dev.sec.tds.net]: 

The domain name has been calculated based on the host name.

Please confirm the domain name [sec.tds.net]: 

The IPA Master Server will be configured with
Hostname:    ds101-dev.sec.tds.net
IP address:  192.168.221.97
Domain name: sec.tds.net

The server must run as a specific user in a specific group.
It is strongly recommended that this user should have no privileges
on the computer (i.e. a non-root user).  The setup procedure
will give this user/group some permissions in specific paths/files
to perform server-specific operations.

A user account named 'dirsrv' already exists. This is the user id
that the Directory Server will run as.

Do you want to use the existing 'dirsrv' account? [yes]: 

The kerberos protocol requires a Realm name to be defined.
This is typically the domain name converted to uppercase.

Please provide a realm name [SEC.TDS.NET]: TDS.NET

Certain directory server operations require an administrative user.
This user is referred to as the Directory Manager and has full access
to the Directory for system management tasks and will be added to the
instance of directory server created for IPA.
The password must be at least 8 characters long.

Directory Manager password: 
Password (confirm): 

The IPA server requires an administrative user, named 'admin'.
This user is a regular system account used for IPA server administration.

IPA admin password: 
Password (confirm):

Expected results:
Success :)

Additional info:
The issue is ownership of /var/lib/dirsrv and can be solved by giving ownership of that dir to dirsrv and restarting ipa-server-install
