Hello! Yesterday I tried migrating a physical machine (ipa1) that was a FreeIPA CA CRL master in my VM cluster. I followed the guide at [1] to migrate che CRL master to another replica (ipa2) and uninstalled the replica ipa1. Then I set up a VM with the same hostname and IP address as the physical machine, and installed Fedora 27. When I tried setting up the replica with CA, the install stopped at: [4/25]: configuring certificate server instance

And in my /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug I see a bunch of log entries like this, with increasing time stamps: Unable to read key retriever class from CS.cfg: Property features.authority.keyRetrieverClass missing value Retrying in 14778 seconds I checked the /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg file and I don’t actually have that entry at all, I only have: features.authority.description=Lightweight CAs features.authority.enabled=true features.authority.version=1.0 However, if I manually add them by copying the value from the good replica, nothing changes and the installer is still blocked on that line (maybe the CS.cfg file isn’t re-read on each retry). Moreover, it looks like that file (CS.cfg) is generated by the installer script… How can I solve this?

Did it hang, or exit with error? Hello Fraser, It hanged seemingly for an indefinite time (I left it running a couple of hours even). > >> And in my /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug I see a bunch of log entries like this, with increasing time stamps: >> >> Unable to read key retriever class from CS.cfg: Property features.authority.keyRetrieverClass missing value >> Retrying in 14778 seconds >> >> I checked the /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg file and I don’t actually have that entry at all, I only have: >> >> features.authority.description=Lightweight CAs >> features.authority.enabled=true >> features.authority.version=1.0 >> >> However, if I manually add them by copying the value from the good replica, nothing changes and the installer is still blocked on that line (maybe the CS.cfg file isn’t re-read on each retry). >> >> Moreover, it looks like that file (CS.cfg) is generated by the installer script… >> >> How can I solve this? >> > Please file a ticket and attach logs; in particular: > > - /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug > - /var/log/pki/pki-ca-spawn.<timestamp>.log > - /var/log/ipareplica-install.log Ticket opened: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/7361 <https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/7361>
