After some plumbing and manual operations I managed to have CA running during installation
of the FreeIPA server. Currently the install fails in :
Configuring directory server (dirsrv)
[2/3]: adding CA certificate entry
args=['/usr/bin/certutil', '-d',
'dbm:/etc/dirsrv/slapd-IPA-LOCAL/', '-O', '--simple-self-signed',
'-n', 'IPA.LOCAL IPA CA', '-f',
'/etc/dirsrv/slapd-IPA-LOCAL/pwdfile.txt']
The installation seems to fail due to the fact that certutil does not support
--simple-self-signed parameter.
Does anybody know if there is a version of libnss3-tools for Ubuntu 18.04 which does
have a certutil package which support the option invoked or if the option can be
disabled/removed during install ?
