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 Wolfgang Baudler 2022-05-06 16:53:18 UTC
Description of problem:

I run 

ipa-client-install --no-ntp --automount-location default --principal=admin --password="xxxx"

This works on RHEL7, i.e. the automount location is added to sssd config and autofs works afterwards.

Running the same command on RHEL8, I get this error:

Configuring automount:
Automount configuration failed: CalledProcessError(Command ['/usr/sbin/ipa-client-automount', '--debug', '-U', '--location', 'default'] returned non-zero exit status 2: '')

The overall ipa-client-install command thinks, it was sucessfull, though:

The ipa-client-install command was successful

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-client-install 4.9.6 on RHEL8
(ipa-client-install 4.6.8 on RHEL7)

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run ipa-client-install command with --automount-location

Actual results:
Fails with "Automount configuration failed" as mentioned above

Expected results:
succeeds same as on RHEL7 systems and configures automount-location

Additional info:
If I run the ipa-client-automount separately after running ipa-client-install it does succeed:

/usr/sbin/ipa-client-automount -U --location default


Searching for IPA server...
IPA server: DNS discovery
Location: default
Configured /etc/idmapd.conf
Restarting sssd, waiting for it to become available.
Started autofs

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2022-05-06 17:47:35 UTC
Return code 2 means that the client is not configured, which I guess is technically true since the installation isn't finished yet because installation hasn't been marked as true in the state store.

It is likely best to move the call to automount to just before the last logger statement in ipaclient/install/client.py::_install.

automount is not considered a fatal error to the client installation since it can be configured manually afterward.

Note that there is an error in the reproducer, it should be --location=default (otherwise it gets set to --principal=admin).
