RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Cholasta 2014-12-02 15:10:38 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4779

When setting up winsync replication, DS needs to trust AD CA:

{{{

[tbabej@vm-124 labtool]$ sudo certutil -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-DOM124-TBAD-IDM-LAB-ENG-BRQ-REDHAT-COM/ -L                                                                                                                                       

Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes
                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

DOM124.TBAD.IDM.LAB.ENG.BRQ.REDHAT.COM IPA CA                CT,C,C
Server-Cert                                                  u,u,u
CN=advm.tbad.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com                      CT,C,C
CN=tbad-ADVM-CA,DC=tbad,DC=idm,DC=lab,DC=eng,DC=brq,DC=redhat,DC=com CT,C,C

}}}

Note the flags in the last certificate.

However, when setting up winsync, it blows up due to TLS error (Peer's issuer not recognized).

{{{

}}}

The culprit here is that winsync setup tries to import the CA cert and sets wrong flags:

{{{

[tbabej@vm-124 labtool]$ sudo certutil -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-DOM124-TBAD-IDM-LAB-ENG-BRQ-REDHAT-COM/ -L                                                                                                                                       

Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes
                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

DOM124.TBAD.IDM.LAB.ENG.BRQ.REDHAT.COM IPA CA                CT,C,C
Server-Cert                                                  u,u,u
CN=advm.tbad.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com                      CT,C,C
CN=tbad-ADVM-CA,DC=tbad,DC=idm,DC=lab,DC=eng,DC=brq,DC=redhat,DC=com ,, 

}}}

This effectively means user is unable to setup the winsync replication with 4.1 and there is no workaround other than modifying the IPA source code.
