#7964 GSSAPI failure causing LWCA key replication failure on f30
Closed: fixed 4 years ago by ftweedal. Opened 4 years ago by ftweedal.

Issue

LWCA key replication is failing on f30. Dogtag cannot retrieve the keys. In debug log:

In journal we see:

GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information (No Kerberos credentials available (default cache: KCM:))

In ipa-pki-retrieve-key, credential acquisition (from /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/dogtag.keytab) succeeds but those credentials are not used when binding to LDAP.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create server and CA replica on f30.
  2. Create LWCA on one CA server.

Actual behavior

LWCA key replicaion failure on the other CA server, as described above.

Furthermore, the ca-show command fails; NPE due to missing keys:

[f30-1:~/dev/freeipa] [ master● ] ftweedal% ipa ca-show test1
ipa: ERROR: Request failed with status 500: Non-2xx response from CA REST API: 500.

Expected behavior

  • no NPE or IPA command failure when executing ca-show and keys are missing.
  • Key replication succeeds.
