Description Kaleem 2016-03-16 08:59:43 UTC
Description of problem:
During second attempt of IPA external-ca install after first successful attempt, following error message shown which is misleading.


ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(Server): ERROR    Failed to load /root/ipa-ca/ipa.crt

Honza helped me to figured out the cause for this.

Here, uninstallation of IPA external-ca was not removing the certs from /etc/httpd/alias which is already reported in https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4639. 

But instead of error message "Failed to load /root/ipa-ca/ipa.crt
", we expect error message like

 "(SEC_ERROR_REUSED_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL) You are attempting to import a cert with the same issuer/serial as an existing cert"

Also warning message is not logged in ipaserver-install.log .

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@auto-hv-01-guest02 ~]# rpm -q ipa-server 
ipa-server-4.2.0-15.el7_2.10.x86_64
[root@auto-hv-01-guest02 ~]# 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Installl IPA with external-ca
2. Uninstall IPA 
3. Install IPA with external-ca again

Actual results:
Installation of IPA fails in second attempt

Expected results:
Installation of IPA should be successful in second attempt also

Additional info:
1. After removing the certs from /etc/httpd/alias, able to install IPA successfully.
