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 Trivino 2022-11-24 18:07:29 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2148258 +++

Cloned from upstream: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/9228

### Issue

ipa-client-install generates a temporary krb5.conf with a single KDC configured for ipa-join call. Once that is completed the temporary configuration is dropped and a full one is created, enabling DNS discovery by default.

A number of Kerberos operations occur after that, including connecting to the IPA API.

This can fail if a different server is picked via DNS and the ipa-client-install operations are faster than replication. This can lead to failures due to unknown hosts.

This was discovered by performance testing to determine how many simultaneous client installations can be performed. It was found that when additional IPA servers were added the capacity unexpectedly went down. It is this replication race that is the underlying problem.

The proposal is to retain the temporary configuration until nearer the end of installation and then write the final one.

###Steps to Reproduce

    Install IPA + 1 or more replicas
    Run simultaneous client installations. It sometimes doesn't require many. It's race so unpredictable

### Actual behavior

On the client side it will fail with a message that the TGT has been revoked.

gssapi.raw.misc.GSSError: Major (851968): Unspecified GSS failre. Minor code may provide more informatino, Minor (2529638932): TGT has been revoked

The server side logs "PAC issue: ipadb_get_principal_failed "
(what do you expect to happen)

### Expected behavior

Scale enrollments with additional servers.
