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 Kaleem 2014-12-17 13:53:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Tried to run ipa-restore when IPA not configured.
ipa-restore proceeds without error message that IPA not configured and fails.

[root@dhcp207-1 ~]# ipa-restore -p xxxxxxxx /var/lib/ipa/backup/ipa-full-2014-12-17-21-53-01/ -U
Preparing restore from /var/lib/ipa/backup/ipa-full-2014-12-17-21-53-01/ on dhcp207-1.testrelm.test
Each master will individually need to be re-initialized or
re-created from this one. The replication agreements on
masters running IPA 3.1 or earlier will need to be manually
re-enabled. See the man page for details.
Disabling all replication.
Unable to get connection, skipping disabling agreements: Unable to bind to LDAP server: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Stopping IPA services
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-COM'
[root@dhcp207-1 ~]# 

Expecting that ipa-restore should not proceed if IPA not configured and should throw following error message

"IPA is not configured on this system" like seen in case of backup

[root@dhcp207-1 ~]# ipa-backup --logs
IPA is not configured on this system.
[root@dhcp207-1 ~]#

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@dhcp207-1 ~]# rpm -q ipa-server
ipa-server-4.1.0-12.el7.x86_64
[root@dhcp207-1 ~]# 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA server 
2. Take a full backup
3. Un-install IPA
4. Run ipa-restore pointing to backup of step(2)

Actual results:
ipa-restore proceeds without throwing error message

Expected results:
ipa-restore not proceed and should throw following error message 

"IPA is not configured on this system."

Comment 5 Kaleem 2015-01-16 11:10:38 UTC
Verified.

IPA Version:
============
[root@dhcp207-214 ~]# rpm -q ipa-server
ipa-server-4.1.0-15.el7.x86_64
[root@dhcp207-214 ~]# 

As per http://www.freeipa.org/page/V3/Backup_and_Restore#Catastrophic_hardware_failure_on_a_machine.

Restore should proceed even if IPA not configured.

[root@dhcp207-214 ~]# ipa-restore -p xxxxxxxx /var/lib/ipa/backup/ipa-full-2015-01-16-14-20-47/ -U

For better error message instead of above error message "Unable to get connection, skipping disabling agreements: Unable to bind to LDAP server: [Errno 2] No such file or directory", following upstream tkt filed.
