#6892 ipa-[ca|kra]-install with invalid DM password break replica
Closed: fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by cheimes.

CA and KRA replicas can be installed on a replica at a later point in time. The commands ipa-ca-install and ipa-kra-install asked for the Directory Manager password, but fail to validate that the password is correct. There is no safe way to recover from a bad password other than complete uninstallation of the entire replica.

$ ipa-client-install
...
$ kinit admin
$ ipa-replica-install
...
$ ipa-ca-install
$ ipa-ca-install

The installers also ask for DM password when the subsystem is already installed:

Directory Manager password: 

KRA already installed
The ipa-kra-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-kra-install.log for more information
