Bug 817865

Please add steps to reproduce what is causing back trace and how to verify the fix.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Fixed upstream:
master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/4879c68d68634715b9d08a08a4c7be882634409f

Requested changes to IPA nss interface has been made along with other relevant fixed accross all IPA codebase. I was not able to reproduce this particular back trace in the nss interface. John, can you please add a reproduction scenario for this issue?

re comment #4

I'm not sure what specific backtrace you're referring to, although I do remember seeing such a backtrace somewhere. My recollection was the error was a direct consequence of trying to force a family (IPv6) which raised an exception because the family was unavailable.

I'm not sure but I think I saw this on one of the mailing lists, and I don't know what caused it specifically, I believe it was due to to turning off IPv6 on the machine. We then tried to force IPv6 which threw the exception.

I also recognize the error from my work on some of the internals.

So you could trying disabling IPv6, not sure if that was the real culprit, but in any case your fixes should address the problem because clearly the IPA code was not following the recommended procedures.

==============================================================================
This program will set up the IPA Server.

This includes:
* Configure a stand-alone CA (dogtag) for certificate management
* Configure the Network Time Daemon (ntpd)
* Create and configure an instance of Directory Server
* Create and configure a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC)
* Configure Apache (httpd)
* Configure DNS (bind)

To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Enter key.

Existing BIND configuration detected, overwrite? [no]: yes
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer
on which you're setting up server software. Using the form
.
Example: master.example.com.


Server host name [sideswipe.testrelm.com]:

Warning: skipping DNS resolution of host sideswipe.testrelm.com
The domain name has been determined based on the host name.

Please confirm the domain name [testrelm.com]:

The kerberos protocol requires a Realm name to be defined.
This is typically the domain name converted to uppercase.

Please provide a realm name [TESTRELM.COM]:
Certain directory server operations require an administrative user.
This user is referred to as the Directory Manager and has full access
to the Directory for system management tasks and will be added to the
instance of directory server created for IPA.
The password must be at least 8 characters long.

Directory Manager password:
Password (confirm):

The IPA server requires an administrative user, named 'admin'.
This user is a regular system account used for IPA server administration.

Do you want to configure the reverse zone? [yes]:
Please specify the reverse zone name [e.c.1.4.0.0.0.0.2.5.0.0.0.2.6.2.ip6.arpa.]:
Using reverse zone e.c.1.4.0.0.0.0.2.5.0.0.0.2.6.2.ip6.arpa.

The IPA Master Server will be configured with:
Hostname: sideswipe.testrelm.com
IP address: 2620:52:0:41ce:5054:ff:fe3b:c68b
Domain name: testrelm.com
Realm name: TESTRELM.COM

BIND DNS server will be configured to serve IPA domain with:
Forwarders: No forwarders

Restarting the web server
==============================================================================
Setup complete

Next steps:
1. You must make sure these network ports are open:
TCP Ports:
* 80, 443: HTTP/HTTPS
* 389, 636: LDAP/LDAPS
* 88, 464: kerberos
* 53: bind
UDP Ports:
* 88, 464: kerberos
* 53: bind
* 123: ntp

2. You can now obtain a kerberos ticket using the command: 'kinit admin'
This ticket will allow you to use the IPA tools (e.g., ipa user-add)
and the web user interface.

Be sure to back up the CA certificate stored in /root/cacert.p12
This file is required to create replicas. The password for this
file is the Directory Manager password
