Closed: wontfix 5 years ago by firstyear. Opened 6 years ago by cheimes.

Issue Description

Uninstallation of FreeIPA server is blocked because remove-ds.pl is waiting for a password input:

 27701 pts/2    S+     0:04          \_ /usr/bin/python3 -E /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall -U

Package Version and Platform

389-ds-base-1.4.0.6-2.fc28.x86_64

Steps to reproduce

  1. ipa-server-install
  2. ipa-server-install --uninstall -U
    3.

Actual results

# ipa-server-install --uninstall -U
Shutting down all IPA services
Configuring certmonger to stop tracking system certificates for KRA
Configuring certmonger to stop tracking system certificates for CA
Unconfiguring CA
Unconfiguring krb5kdc
Unconfiguring kadmin
Unconfiguring directory server

Uninstallation just sits there and doesn't proceed.

Expected results

remove-ds shouldn't block.

I've never seen remove-ds.pl block before or prompt for any kind of password. So this is odd indeed.

I tested 389-ds-base-1.4.0.7 on F28 with freeipa 4.6.90. Uninstall works fine for me. I installed and uninstalled over and over - no problems.

Perhaps there is more to reproducing the problem than installing and uninstalling?

The only time we access systemd-ask-password is part of svrcore to get the pin for the NSSDB. This indicates that perhaps it's starting the server?

Can this error be produced with ds-create or dsctl <inst> remove?

No movement in 11 months, so I think this is no longer an issue.
