#1135 ipa-client-install autodiscovery can cause installation to fail
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by rcritten.

If the DNS SRV records point to an AD server you don't want to use autodiscovery but apparently entering them manually also fails:

[root@fed14-64-cli01 yum.repos.d]# ipa-client-install
DNS discovery failed to determine your DNS domain
Please provide the domain name of your IPA server (ex: example.com): ipa.ac.nz
Retrieving CA from dc0002.ipa.ac.nz failed.
Command '/usr/bin/wget -O /tmp/tmpzR381G/ca.crt http://dc0002.ipa.ac.nz/ipa/config/ca.crt' returned non-zero exit status 4
[root@fed14-64-cli01 yum.repos.d]#

This is the wget that fetches the CA so we can to TLS over LDAP.

To test:

Create DNS SRV records that point to a machine that isn't an IPA server (it doesn't even need a web server installed).

ipa-client-install should fail, server is not an IPA server

ipa-client-install --server=ipa.example.com --domain=example.com --force should succeed
