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.

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2631

We should document how to start the basic IPA services when the SSL certificates have expired so one can run in a degraded mode while the underlying problems are resolved.

In mod_nss set EnforceValidCerts to no and restart httpd

In 389-ds set nsslapd-validate-cert to warn in dse.ldif

Doing these should allow all Apache, Kerberos, named and 389-ds-base to come up so at least users can log in. Client services (e.g. sudo) that require SSL will still fail due to the expired server certificates.

Change the mod_nss configuration for the Apache server to not enforce valid certificates, in the NSSEnforceValidCerts parameter. If this parameter is not already in the file, then add it.
Set the value to off.

[root@ipaserver ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf

NSSEnforceValidCerts off
