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 Pavel Vomacka 2017-04-12 14:25:07 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6853

When trying to convert CA-less master to CA-full, the ipa-ca-install command fails with:

```console
# ipa-ca-install -p Secret123
Configuring certificate server (pki-tomcatd). Estimated time: 3 minutes
  [1/30]: creating certificate server user
  [2/30]: configuring certificate server instance
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL Failed to configure CA instance: Command '/usr/sbin/pkispawn -s CA -f /tmp/tmpdVpOj5' returned non-zero exit status 1
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL See the installation logs and the following files/directories for more information:
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL   /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat
  [error] RuntimeError: CA configuration failed.

Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.

CA configuration failed.
```

In the CA installation logs I can see this error:

```console
2017-04-07T14:00:17Z DEBUG stdout=Log file: /var/log/pki/pki-ca-spawn.20170407140017.log

    raise RuntimeError("%s configuration failed." % self.subsystem)
RuntimeError: CA configuration failed.
```

The CA deployment scriptlel complains about existing directory, however this directory did not exist before calling ipa-ca-install:

```console
# ls /etc/pki/
CA  ca-trust  consumer  default.cfg  entitlement  java  nssdb  pki.conf  pki.version  rpm-gpg  rsyslog  tls
```

This seems to be a regression either in FreeIPA's configuration setup, or in Dogtag CA spawn machinery.

Versions:
```console
# rpm -q freeipa-server pki-ca
freeipa-server-4.5.0.dev201704071057+gitab27067-0.fc25.x86_64
pki-ca-10.3.5-11.fc25.noarch
```
Steps to reproduce:
1.) install CA-less ipa server w/ 3rd party HTTP/DS/PKINIT certificates
2.) ipa-ca-install -p DM_PASSWORD

Actual results:
Installation of Dogtag CA instance fails

Expected results:
CA is successfuly deployed and functional

Attached are the IPA CA install log and PKI CA instance spawn log.
