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.
We should provide advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics for clients experiencing issues with IPA.
For example, a client was having issues with systems frequently losing IPA functionality. After lots of troubleshooting, we ended up re-doing the ipa-client-install and it would work until rogue config mgmt "fixed" it.
To the customer, they now view everything in terms of idempotence (is that the word?!) like with Ansible or Puppet, so they want to rerun ipa-client-install in a --noop / dry-run mode and watch for changes. The remaining tasks would check things like:
* NTP and time
* DNS and name services resolution
* Kerberos configuration, KDC and realm verification
* Service Statii - ie sssd, etc
Can we close this request as duplicate with Bug 1152084? We have this request tracked there already and there is even some POC code and design page you can help us review and provide feedback for.
There were requests for this in the past already (I do not have the tickets handy) and IIRC, there was push back against it as it could be very error prone. Client uninstallation & installation was suggest as the workflow in that case.
