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.

installation log

Description of problem:
ipa-ca-install fails with Python exception as 

AttributeError: 'NameSpace' object has no attribute 'ra_certprofile'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.2.0-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create self-signed CA certificates using certutil command 
2. install ipa-server-install using this CA certificate
3. ipa-ca-install -p Secret123 -w Secret123 -U

Actual results:
AttributeError: 'NameSpace' object has no attribute 'ra_certprofile'

Expected results:
ipa-ca-install should be successfully

Additional info:

The error is caused by the fact that during installation of IPA master with external cert files, the option "ra_plugin" in IPA config file (/etc/ipa/default.conf) is set to "none".

Because of this, the dogtag-related backend plugins are not loaded during subsequent CA installation using 'ipa-ca-install', causing the last step of CA install to fail with AttributeError.

A workaround is to set "ra_plugin = dogtag" in /etc/ipa/default.conf before running ipa-ca-install.
