Description Namita Soman 2011-04-12 17:53:10 UTC

Description of problem:
When installing client in a master-slave config, an invalid host record was created for client, when testing failover.

Installed client successfully a few times in a master-slave environment going against both servers
Next ran ipactl stop on master, and installed client against replica.
Then started ipa services on master, stopped ipa services on slave, and uninstalled.
Started services on replica, and installed client.
this failed with error that -
RPC failed at server. Constraint violation: Another entry with the same attribute value already exists (attribute: "krbPrincipalName")

Joining realm failed because of failing XML-RPC request.
This error may be caused by incompatible server/client major versions.

running ipa host-find
lists this client
but running host-del - says - host not found

ldapsearch listed this client as -
fqdn=rhel61-client3.testrelm+nsuniqueid=807bb87f-652211e0-9e848fb2-f0f04a39,cn=computers,cn=accounts,dc=testrelm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.0-20.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

3. start master, stop slave, uninstall client
4. start slave, install client
