When testing FreeIPA server deployment with the fixed softhsm for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1607635 , deployment now fails later, during the ipa-client-install phase, with this error:

2018-07-31T19:53:16Z DEBUG The ipa-client-install command failed, exception: NetworkError: cannot connect to 'https://ipa001.domain.local/ipa/json': Internal Server Error
2018-07-31T19:53:16Z ERROR cannot connect to 'https://ipa001.domain.local/ipa/json': Internal Server Error

/var/log/httpd/error_log shows us the underlying problem:

As for all FreeIPA server deployment failures, this is a clear Beta blocker, per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Basic_Release_Criteria#FreeIPA_server_requirements , "It must be possible to configure a Fedora Server system installed according to the above criteria as a FreeIPA domain controller, using the official deployment tools provided in the distribution FreeIPA packages."
