In a training session today, a curious error occurred.

We installed a 7.1 server, then created a replica of it, then shut down the
original server and accessed the IdM web UI through the replica.

When we tried to add a random new user, the following error popped up:

Operations error: Allocation of a new value for range cn=posix
ids,cn=distributed numeric assignment plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config failed!
Unable to proceed.


Even though the attempt made could be done too soon after the replica was
created, Petr suggested this warrants further investigation.
