I did update the cacert but can't generate the replica file. That is where I am failing, it keep saying invalid ldap credential. The strange thing is trying to test/verify ldap password was working in my previous attempts (following steps) which now not working either.
I know you guys might be familiar with this process but I am not, and to be honest it is a bit frustrating because, what is the point of creating a full web UI for IPA and not having DM password change on the same.... Why everything has to be so complicated I mean, it is better to go back to ldap though. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Bokovoy [mailto:aboko...@redhat.com] Sent: 15 August 2016 12:06 To: Stefan Uygur Cc: mreyno...@redhat.com; freeipa-users@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] Freeipa replication issue On Mon, 15 Aug 2016, Stefan Uygur wrote: >Hi Alexander, >Thanks for your reply and I do remember very well your feedback of >course in relation to this issue. > >The instructions are very simple, no discussion about that and I >followed step by step ad exception of this step: Configure all replicas >to use the new password by editing /etc/pki-ca/password.conf for Dogtag >9 or /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/password.conf for Dogtag 10: > >Which is not that clear to be honest as it is referring to replicas and >not the master server itself. In IPA the term 'replica' applies to all IPA masters. All of them are replicas of each other on the base level. They may have additional services running but at the very least they have LDAP, Kerberos KDC, and HTTPd. > >I do not have any replica for this server, I am trying to set the first >one in fact, so I don't think that step need to be re-produced in my >case, unless I am really missing something in that paragraph. These steps have to be done on all existing IPA masters, whether you call them replicas or not. Did you update /root/cacert.p12? If so, did you re-generate the replica file afterwards? Point is, inside replica file there is a CA certificate with a private key in PKCS#12 format which is encrypted using DM password. If you have replica file generated before cacert.p12 was updated with new DM password, then cacert.p12 inside the replica file cannot be decrypted using new DM password, thus replica installation will fail. > >Thanks again > >-----Original Message----- >From: Alexander Bokovoy [mailto:aboko...@redhat.com] >Sent: 15 August 2016 11:28 >To: Stefan Uygur >Cc: mreyno...@redhat.com; freeipa-users@redhat.com >Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] Freeipa replication issue > >On Mon, 15 Aug 2016, Stefan Uygur wrote: >>Hi Everyone, >>Sorry if I have to bring this topic back again but still no solution so far. >>I gave up for a while but I still need to solve this problem. >> >>I followed the link provided by Mark Reynold: >>https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server >>/ >>10/html/Administration_Guide/dirmnger-pwd.html#dirmnger-pwd-Resetting_ >>P >>asswords >> >>I applied the instructions multiple times and also followed these >>instructions as well: >>http://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/Change_Directory_Manager_Password >> >>With no joy. >> >>Mark suggested: >>The problem here is that "cn=directory manager" does not exist in a >>database.
