Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-26 06:00:12 UTC

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 8 Yi Zhang 2011-08-15 18:52:15 UTC

I can not reproduce it now. It might have been fixed. I have run same command and it works fine now. 

the below is my test

[i386.c root@dhcp-120 /iparhts/acceptance/ipa-cert] /usr/bin/ipa-getcert start-tracking -d /etc/pki/nssdb -n PrepCertReq-start_tracking_1019-6892 -t "NSS Certificate DB" -I start_tracking_101_again

Request "start_tracking_101_again" modified.

error msg in /var/log/messages:

 Aug 15 11:49:02 dhcp-120 certmonger: Unable to determine principal name for signing request.
