I somehow believe this bug is related to bz 498055. But can't tell for sure now. Steps to reproduce: 1 - on machine A (a) yum -y install pki-ca (b) go through the install wizard and setup a root CA making itself the security domain. (c) machine has a local directory server thats used as internal database 2 - on machine B (a) yum -y install pki-ca (b) go through the install wizard and setup a clone CA. joining the rootCA{security domain} setup in 1(b). (c) machine has a local directory server thats used as internal database Expected results: clone setup successful. Actual results: - during clone setup, when we reach the internal database panel, wizard keeps spinning. Clone CA debug log has this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel setupReplication: Finished enabling replication [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel createReplicationAgreement: dn: cn=masterAgreement1-beast.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca,cn=replica,cn="dc=qe-blade-06.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca",cn=mapping tree,cn=config [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: About to set description attr to masterAgreement1-beast.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel createReplicationAgreement: Successfully create replication agreement masterAgreement1-beast.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel createReplicationAgreement: dn: cn=cloneAgreement1-beast.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca,cn=replica,cn="dc=qe-blade-06.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca",cn=mapping tree,cn=config [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: About to set description attr to cloneAgreement1-beast.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel createReplicationAgreement: Successfully create replication agreement cloneAgreement1-beast.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel initializeConsumer: initializeConsumer dn: cn=masterAgreement1-beast.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca,cn=replica,cn="dc=qe-blade-06.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com-pki-ca",cn=mapping tree,cn=config [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel initializeConsumer: initializeConsumer host: qe-blade-06.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com port: 389 [22/May/2009:10:30:31][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel initializeConsumer: start modifying [22/May/2009:10:30:32][http-9445-Processor23]: DatabasePanel initializeConsumer: Finish modification.

Workaround proposed by Ade : on the clone internal database panel, use FQDN for hostname instead of 'localhost' that comes up as default. Everything works after that.
patch in 502257 contains fix to add the words "Enter FQDN here" instead of localhost when a clone is created. This may ultimately be the best solution, really. Will leave this open for now.
yeah, entering FQDN has taken me to the next panel in the cloned instance. and the clone was setup sucessfully.
Bug fixed before release. comments removed from known issues in rev 19987, on July 20. Closing.
