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 of problem:
ipa-server-install fails with the following error in the 389-ds log:
[23/Feb/2011:16:13:02 -0500] - Unable to access nsslapd-rundir: Permission denied

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

Nathan Kinder commented:
One thing I notice is that SuiteSpotGroup is not set in the General section of the inf file used to create the instance. If a previous instance was created for Dogtag and this new instance is created as a different user, you must specify the same group in the SuiteSpotGroup parameter when creating the second instance. This is required now that we have secure permissions on /var/run, which was just fixed for the 8.2 errata and is in the 9.0 builds now as well.
If I remove /var/run/dirsrv before starting the IPA installer then it succeeds whether I have SuiteSpotGroup defined or not.
The resulting difference is:
SuiteSpotGroup set: /var/run/dirsrv mode 0770
no group: /var/run/dirsrv mode 0700
It looks like the 389-ds-base postinstall script creates /var/run/dirsrv if it doesn't already exist.
