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.

secure_connection_failed

OK so in response to the difficulties of doing  this with an external-ca, I attempted the ipa-server-install as a self-signed CA.  Default --subject, as customizing that caused another bug which I've reported.

Generally I'd expect to see, an untrusted certificate warning, rather than an SSL error.

FreeIPA installed from RHEL7 Packages, 4.2.0-15 el7_2.15

Strangly When I used a properly parsed --subject, this error did not occur.

Looks like duplicate of bug 747959

This error page is displayed by browser, IPA cannot change it content. It is caused by the fact that server was reinstalled and then CA cert has exactly the same subject and serial number. Solution is to remove the old cert - exception or CA cert from browser and probably restart the browser.

This makes sense.

Can the certificates created during ipa-server-install be more fully purged after ipa-server-install --uninstall ?

No because the certificates are on whatever client accessed the server.
