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:
Configuration of IPA takes to much time.
We use IPA in out product, and we configure it as part of our configuration process. The configuration takes about 10 minutes, in which 7.5 minutes are spent on running the IPA configuration.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.0-23.el6_1.1.x86_64
The IPA installation log is attached.
How reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install ipa rpms
2. run ipa-server-install - this will take about 7.5 minutes.
Actual results:
The installation takes 7.5 minutes
Expected results:
The installation should take less time.
Additional info:
The IPA installation log is attached.
The majority of the time is used configuring dogtag.
The dogtag configuration itself takes 5-6 minutes.
A dogtag restart was removed in ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1052, this saved 30-45 seconds and is in the current upstream master branch.
It should be remembered that we are configuring:
- web server
- LDAP server
- KDC
- ntpd
- CA
- optionally bind
This is always going to take several minutes.
On the IPA side we reduced the number of restarts of dogtag during installation and this saved on the order of 90 seconds.
The dogtag team made other improvements which knocks another 2 minutes off install time.
A change to SELinux base policy adds port 9446 by default and that saves another 30 seconds.
Install time now down to just over 4 minutes.
