Description Robert 2025-11-25 21:36:41 UTC
I want to enrol a fedora laptop to freeipa during foreman pxe provisioning.

Note that when I login as root after boot and call the same ipa-client-install line from the orginal-ks.cfg, then the enrolment is successful.

I have this in the kickstart template:

%post
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
chvt 3
(
logger "Starting anaconda <%= @host %> postinstall"
<% if host_enc['parameters']['realm'] && @host.realm && (@host.realm.realm_type == 'FreeIPA' || @host.realm.realm_type == 'Red Hat Identity Management') -%>
  ##
  ## IPA Client Installation
  ##
  echo "Realm found: setup ipa-client"
  /usr/libexec/openssh/sshd-keygen rsa
  
  # HOTFIX for https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/427
  mkdir -p /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore
  mkdir -p /var/lib/ipa-client/pki
  mkdir -p /var/log
  touch /var/log/ipaclient-install.log

  # One-time password will be requested at install time. Otherwise, $HOST[OTP] is used as a placeholder value.
  /usr/sbin/ipa-client-install -w '<%= @host.otp || "$HOST[OTP]" %>' --realm=<%= @host.realm %> -U --mkhomedir
<% end -%>



full config: https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/snippets/4906744

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure everything in foreman (hard to give here the complete setup)
2. provision with foreman via pxe
3. reboot and see that the /etc/krb5.conf is not setup and see errors in the ipaclient-install.log
Actual Results:
ipa enrolment failed

Expected Results:
ipa enrolement worked

Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 15:22:54 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '42'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
