Hi list,
I wanted to repost this issue with a more appropriate subject line, in
case anyone has come across this issue before and has a work around.
To provide some context, I have two FreeIPA instances running FreeIPA
4.3.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I want to migrate to FreeIPA 4.5.4 running on CentOS 7.
I have a way to migrate by dumping all the users out with ldapsearch
and adding them to the new instance with ldapadd but it is a bit messy
and will result in all users having to reset their password, as it
won't let me add in already encrypted passwords.
My initial thought was to add the new instance as a replica and then
eventually retire the old one.
I ran in to some problems with the ‘ipa-replica-install’ command though.
I was able to join as a client no problem, but when I went to run
‘ipa-replica-install’ it failed while configuring the directory server
component.
[25/42]: restarting directory server
[26/42]: creating DS keytab
[27/42]: ignore time skew for initial replication
[28/42]: setting up initial replication
[error] DatabaseError: Server is unwilling to perform: modification
of attribute nsds5replicareleasetimeout is not allowed in replica
entry
Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.
I thought this might have something to do with differences between
4.3.1 and 4.5.4 but I wasn’t entirely sure.
If there is a work around for this issue, it would be a significantly
easier transition to the new FreeIPA instance.
Cheers,
Mitch
