CA instance spawn log

Description of problem:

When installing FreeIPA w/ CA on rawhide, the installation fails with faimiliar error:

{{{
Configuring certificate server (pki-tomcatd). Estimated time: 3 minutes 30 seconds
  [1/31]: creating certificate server user
  [2/31]: configuring certificate server instance
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL Failed to configure CA instance: Command '/usr/sbin/pkispawn -s CA -f /tmp/tmpANra4a' returned non-zero exit status 1

ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(Server): ERROR    The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information
}}}

Inspecting installation logs hints at some issue with unicode vs. bytes handling during CA instance creation using pkispawn:

{{{

}}}

an this is indeed confirmed when examining the pik-ca-spawn logs (attached):

{{{

    os.stat(path)
}}}

This issue currently blocks FreeIPA installation on rawhide. Please resolve ASAP.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -q pki-ca 
pki-ca-10.3.5-10.fc26.noarch
# rpm -q freeipa-server

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install FreeIPA server with self-signed CA provided by Dogtag

Actual results:

Installation fails during CA subsystem spawn.

Expected results:

Installation produces a working FreeIPA server

Additional info:

The installation works in freeipa/freeipa-server:fedora-rawhide Docker image built on 2017-01-11T13:53:49.455Z and also on freshly built Docker image launched on Fedora Atomic Host 25.

Adding some debug prints into "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pki/server/deployment/pkihelper.py" reveals that on one occasion, PKI_INSTANCE_PATH constant from "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pki/server/deployment/config.py" holds a value containing non-printable character:

{{{
PKI instance path: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat
Path: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/ocsp [type <type 'str'>]
PKI instance path: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat
Path: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/tks [type <type 'str'>]
PKI instance path: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat
Path: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/tps [type <type 'str'>]

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 11:00:28 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 3 Matthew Harmsen 2017-04-04 22:29:47 UTC
Please re-try this with the following packages installed on rawhide:

* https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=874334 jss-4.4.1-1.fc27
* https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=874340 tomcatjss-7.2.2-1.fc27
* https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=874564 pki-core-10.4.1-2.fc27

[20170407] - Received word back from amarecek that this issue is now resolved on Fedora 27 "rawhide".

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:27:29 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 12:09:54 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
