Hi,
this type of failure can happen when the certificates expire. You can check if that's the case using "getcert list" and look at the "status:" values that should be MONITORING and the "expires:" date.

Although the manual repair procedure can be quite long, it's possible to fix this type of issue. See [1] for instructions.
I was thinking something similar. I tried
```
[root@ipa01 ~]# ipa-cacert-manage renew
Renewing CA certificate, please wait
Error resubmitting certmonger request '20200716071025', please check the request manually
The ipa-cacert-manage command failed.
```

```
[root@ipa01 ~]# getcert list

The other one are all MONITORING and expire at 2022. Since i tried to force a new cert maybe this is still okay and the problem lies somewhere else? Unfortunately i can't access [1] since we do not have a subscription. I am considering getting one, however its not my decision alone.
Some Clients could sometimes not get kerberos tickets. I couldn't quite figure out why.

I used 'ipa-backup --data' in hopes of restoring it on a fresh OS with everything working again. Had to upgrade to IPA 4.6.6. It worked with
Can you provide the exact steps that you ran? Performing a data-only backup does not save the configuration files and I would like to check how the new server was setup.
Sure. Backup was done with `ipa-backup --data --online`

The new server was a fresh CentOS install. Here the steps i did:
```
yum update -y
# reboot

yum install ipa-server -y
ipa-server-install  \
  --ds-password {{ipa_dm_pw}} \
  --admin-password {{ipa_admin_pw}} \
  --realm {{ceg_realm}} \
  --hostname {{inventory_hostname}}.{{ceg_domain}} \
  --domain {{ceg_domain}} \
  --mkhomedir \
  --unattended

ipa-restore --data --backend=userRoot
systemctl stop sssd
find /var/lib/sss/ ! -type d | xargs rm -f
systemctl start sssd
# reboot
```

I should mention that the `ipa ...` commands do not work on the server a have also tried on of the clients (unmodified) but it does not accept the SSL cert (probably because it is different now).

Best Regards
Lorenz
