Fixed In Version:	certmonger-0.39-1.el6	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	After installation of the ipa-client package, the ipa-client-install script runs the ipa-getcert command. As a consequence, the certmonger daemon runs its ipa-submit helper. The helper contacts the IPA server. Previously, if it received a fault message response from the server, it terminated with a segmentation fault and created a core dump; the installation failed. This happened because it attempted to dereference an uninitialized pointer while processing the fault message. With this update, the helper handles the fault message correctly and the enrollment process completes successfully.	Story Points:	---
