#7822 Failure starting ipa.service on master node
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by cmonty.

Request for enhancement

After completing setup of FreeIPA on master and replica node (both nodes are running on identical virtual machine with Fedora 29) I started dnf update to install latest kernel.
Rebooting the nodes to load the latest kernel was successful, but ipa.service fails to start on both master and replica.

Issue

Starting service ipa.service fails with error:

Dez 29 12:11:36 ipa-master.example.com ipactl[1304]: Failed to start named Service
Dez 29 12:11:36 ipa-master.example.com ipactl[1304]: Shutting down
Dez 29 12:11:36 ipa-master.example.com ipactl[1304]: Hint: You can use --ignore-service-failure option for forced start in case that a non-critical service failed

Dez 29 12:11:37 ipa-master.example.com systemd[1]: ipa.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Dez 29 12:11:37 ipa-master.example.com systemd[1]: ipa.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Dez 29 12:11:37 ipa-master.example.com systemd[1]: Failed to start Identity, Policy, Audit.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Reboot server
  2. Check failed services with systemctl | grep failed
  3. Start services manually

Actual behavior

The error message starting ipa.service indicates an issue with named-pkcs11.service. Therefore I continue to start named-pkcs11.service manually.
This is successful and I restart ipa.service.
Now the service ipa.service starts successfully, but it kills service named-pkcs11.service.

Expected behavior

Automatic startup of all required services.

named is dropping core in libkrb5. I'd try updating krb5-* to see if that helps. For additional information see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1622760

I restarted from scratch and didn't experience any similar issue.
