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.

DNS Domain: testrelm.com
IPA Server: ipa63server.testrelm.com
BaseDN: dc=testrelm,dc=com

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2012-04-18 19:35:52 UTC 
Does the server have an SSHFP key?

Is the server running an IPA-based DNS?

It would be helpful to see the client install log, /var/log/ipaclient-install.log.
Comment 3 Martin Kosek 2012-04-20 11:52:27 UTC 
The issue here is that server SSHFP records are only filled when you install IPA via "ipa-server-install --setup-dns" because they are filled as a part of client installation.

When DNS support is installed separately (ipa-dns-install), SSHFP records for the server are not filled and clients connecting to the master will receive "Error looking up public keys" error. I will open an upstream ticket to fix that.

Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2012-06-07 11:28:37 UTC 
As discussed with Jan Cholasta, this is a bug on SSSD side, he plans to have it fixed in scope of https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1356.

Moving this Bug to sssd component.
