Hey everyone: I posted this like a week ago and didn't get a response. Hoping someone can respond, since it's happened to us again. Any ideas?

Hi all,

I've been having an issue recently where my servers can't install FreeIPA due to this error:

Cannot connect to the server due to generic error: error marshalling data for XML-RPC transport: message: need a <type 'unicode'>; got 'No valid Negotiate header in server response' (a <type 'str'>)
Installation failed. Rolling back changes.
Unenrolling client from IPA server

Restarting FreeIPA (ipactl stop, ipactl start) solves the solution, but not permanently.

I captured the FreeIPA logs during that event, which you can see here: https://pastebin.com/WL7Cg90V

Any ideas what's going wrong? One solution would be to have a cron restart FreeIPA nightly, but that's not ideal.

Thanks,
Greg
