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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-3.0.0-36.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Identity Management client installer did not allow re-enrolling an already enrolled client. Consequence: When a machine or a VM with a configured Identity Management client is removed or decommissioned without unenrolling the client first, all succeeding client enrollments will fail until the client entry is removed from Identity Management sever. Fix: --force-join option was added to the IdM client installer. Result: Privileged administrator may re-enroll an Identity Management client.

Description Dmitri Pal 2013-03-20 22:25:50 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3482

The use case is a client as a VM.

Kickstart process creates VM and enrolls client.

client dies

Kickstart process deletes VM and enrolls client.

Fail, already enrolled.

There is no entity in the middle that can run host-delete or host-disable.

The desire is to either add a new flag (e.g. --autoclean), or extend the meaning of --force, to have the client detect that it is already enrolled, call host-disable, then enroll.

It is expected to only work when doing a delegated enrollment. OTP will not work.
Comment 1 Martin Kosek 2013-03-25 09:55:01 UTC 
Fixed upstream:
master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/a7ccc198a731d0e48319a73bcb2dd98c34de262a

To reenroll the client, a new option of ipa-client-install can be used:

    --force-join        Force client enrollment even if already enrolled
Comment 7 Martin Kosek 2013-09-17 08:43:57 UTC 
I just found out, that the backported patch for this feature was incomplete as it misses some required changes in ipa-join. This leads to ipa-client-install --force-join returning an error.
Comment 9 Martin Kosek 2013-09-17 14:01:23 UTC 
Fixed in ipa-3.0.0-36.el6.
Comment 10 Martin Kosek 2013-09-25 11:17:59 UTC 
Reproduction scenario:
1. Install IPA server
2. Install IPA client
3. Shutdown IPA server so that client will not be correctly unenrolled
4. --uninstall IPA client
5. Start IPA server
6. Try installing IPA client again - it won't be allowed unless --force-join flag is used
Comment 11 Kaleem 2013-10-11 09:33:57 UTC 
Verified.

ipa-client version:
===================
[root@rhel65-client ~]# rpm -q ipa-client
ipa-client-3.0.0-37.el6.x86_64
[root@rhel65-client ~]#

Steps of verification:
======================

(1)Un-installing client and IPA server not reachable while un-installing client

[root@rhel65-client ~]# iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT -p all --source 10.65.207.74;ipa-client-install --uninstall -U;iptables -F
Unenrolling client from IPA server
Unenrolling host failed: Error obtaining initial credentials: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm.

Removing Kerberos service principals from /etc/krb5.keytab
Disabling client Kerberos and LDAP configurations
Redundant SSSD configuration file /etc/sssd/sssd.conf was moved to /etc/sssd/sssd.conf.deleted
Restoring client configuration files
nslcd daemon is not installed, skip configuration
Client uninstall complete.
[root@rhel65-client ~]# 

(2)Re-enrollment client with --force-join 

[root@rhel65-client ~]# ipa-client-install -U --force-join --domain=testrelm.com --realm=TESTRELM.COM -p admin -w xxxxxxxx --server=rhel65-replica.testrelm.com
Hostname: rhel65-client.testrelm.com
Realm: TESTRELM.COM
DNS Domain: testrelm.com
IPA Server: rhel65-replica.testrelm.com
BaseDN: dc=testrelm,dc=com
