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.

Description Petr Vobornik 2017-04-03 14:02:53 UTC 
Cloned from upstream: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6806

CA-less installation of freeipa-server-4.5.0-0.fc25.x86_64 fails during publishing of CA cert in HTTP installer:

```console
Configuring the web interface (httpd)
  [1/21]: setting mod_nss port to 443
  [2/21]: setting mod_nss cipher suite
  [3/21]: setting mod_nss protocol list to TLSv1.0 - TLSv1.2

  [13/21]: publish CA cert
  [error] CalledProcessError: Command '/usr/bin/certutil -d /etc/httpd/alias -L -n IPA.TEST IPA CA -a -f /etc/httpd/alias/pwdfile.txt' returned non-zero exit status 255
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(CompatServerMasterInstall): ERROR    Command '/usr/bin/certutil -d /etc/httpd/alias -L -n IPA.TEST IPA CA -a -f /etc/httpd/alias/pwdfile.txt' returned non-zero exit status 255
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(CompatServerMasterInstall): ERROR    The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information
```
This is caused by using incorrect CA cert nickname (the default one generated during CA-full install) instead of retrieving the correct nickname from the supplied PKCS#12 files (as can be seen from the content of HTTP alias directory):

```console
# certutil -L -d /etc/httpd/alias/

==============================================================================
Setup complete

Next steps:
	1. You must make sure these network ports are open:
		TCP Ports:
		  * 80, 443: HTTP/HTTPS
		  * 389, 636: LDAP/LDAPS
		  * 88, 464: kerberos
		  * 53: bind
		UDP Ports:
		  * 88, 464: kerberos
		  * 53: bind
		  * 123: ntp

	2. You can now obtain a kerberos ticket using the command: 'kinit admin'
	   This ticket will allow you to use the IPA tools (e.g., ipa user-add)
	   and the web user interface.

In order for Firefox autoconfiguration to work you will need to
use a SSL signing certificate. See the IPA documentation for more details.
