Does the server have an SSHFP key?

Is the server running an IPA-based DNS?

It would be helpful to see the client install log, /var/log/ipaclient-install.log.

Comment 3 Martin Kosek 2012-04-20 11:52:27 UTC
The issue here is that server SSHFP records are only filled when you install IPA via "ipa-server-install --setup-dns" because they are filled as a part of client installation.

When DNS support is installed separately (ipa-dns-install), SSHFP records for the server are not filled and clients connecting to the master will receive "Error looking up public keys" error. I will open an upstream ticket to fix that.

Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2012-06-07 11:28:37 UTC
As discussed with Jan Cholasta, this is a bug on SSSD side, he plans to have it fixed in scope of https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1356.

Moving this Bug to sssd component.
