#6555 ipa-client-install in ipa-replica-install sometimes fails to pick up credentials
Closed: worksforme 6 years ago Opened 7 years ago by simo.

just calling ipa-replica-install on a brand new machines fails in the ipa-client-install step. The client tries to configure w/o interactively asking information (an account authorized to join the discovered domain).

Even after manually installing ipa-client-install however it fails to pick up cfredentials if available. kinit admin && ipa-replica-install
should wor but instead it still asks for the admin password. and sometimes instead it asks for host/fqdn@REALM@domain's password (??!)


I can't reproduce the second part reliably, sometimes it works

ipa-replica-install does not have an interactive mode yet so it's expected it'd fail in the first part.
I am also not able to reproduce the second part, should it happen again, could you please provide ipaclient/ipareplica-install logs + perhaps the state of the ccache?

Interactive mode for ipa-replica-install is #6068, changing subject to the second issue(credential passing).

It might be fixed in 4.5.

This was not reproduced for longer time. Or I'm not aware of it. Closing.
