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 of problem:

When running the IPA server in debug mode, I am seeing "Internal Server Error" messages when running IPA commands.

ipa: ERROR: cannot connect to 'https://ipa-server-hostname/ipa/session/json': Internal Server Error

Looking at the logs:

module 'time' has no attribute 'perf_counter_ns'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.9.3-1.module+el8.5.0+10565+ae980a94.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  ipa-server-install
2.  echo -e '[global]\ndebug=True' >> /etc/ipa/server.conf
3.  systemctl restart httpd
4.  ipa user-find

Actual results:
Internal Server Error

Expected results:
list users

Additional info:

Investigation:

This is caused by perf_counter_ns being Python 3.7+ only.
That is only used in rpcserver.py ; putting a lambda there that defines time.perf_counter_ns is enough to fix the problem.
It has to be done conditionally on Python version e.g. the current code is fine for Python 3.7+.
