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.

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6288

With a CA-less ipa server, ipa-certupdate always fails with the following error:

{{{
$ ipa-certupdate
trying https://vm-180.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com/ipa/session/json
Forwarding 'ca_is_enabled' to json server 'https://vm-180.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com/ipa/session/json'
Forwarding 'ca_find/1' to json server 'https://vm-180.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com/ipa/session/json'
CA is not configured
The ipa-certupdate command failed.
}}}


The code is calling ca_find but not catching the exception returned because the CA is not configured.

Fixed upstream
master:

ipa-4-4:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/1b8f6ec58600ad4bbfb538ddcff659ea1ba2c324

Still i see same error message with ipa-server-4.4.0-10.el7.x86_64.

Please find the attachment for console output.

On master branch, commit 08b768313020c45bfa82d67cd214afabf605f4b3 introduced a regression and overwrote the fix (on ipa-4-4, commit 99b0db0ebf090c9f60078e9ca9bf2aba665635f5).

I'm making a new fix.
