Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Erinn Looney-Triggs 2011-02-04 23:10:45 UTC
Description of problem:
I don't know RPMs all that well but it looks like the ipa-client rpm for RHLE 6 x64 (at least) doesn't require nss-tools which provides certutil which is required for ipa-client-install to run. 

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

ipa-client-2.0-9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Don't have nss-tools installed
Try to run ipa-client-install


Additional info:
Created /etc/ipa/default.conf
Configured /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install", line 756, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install", line 675, in main

verified.

ran a yum install ipa-client
which resolved dependencies and installed nss-tools also

Installing:
 ipa-client                          x86_64                         2.0.0-20.el6                          beaker-Client                          87 k
Installing for dependencies:
 nss-tools                           x86_64                         3.12.9-8.el6                          beaker-Client                         748 k
