[Freeipa-users] Issue while setting up Replication

[Chandan Kumar <chandank kumar gmail com>]

Hello,

I am new to FreeIPA so far I have setup the Server and few test clients, all went really smooth. However, I am having hard time in setting up the replication and any help will great!.

I am using CentOS 6.4. Package Info

ipa-server-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64

389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-12.el6_4.x86_64 

I followed the steps mentioned in 

http://freeipa.org/docs/1.2/Installation_Deployment_Guide/en-US/html/chap-Installation_and_Deployment_Guide-Setting_up_Multi_Master_Replication.html

When I try to setup the replica with the replica prepare file from the master  with --skip-conneccheck  (because krb is not running on UDP ports)

ipa-replica-install /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-ipa02.ma.net.gpg --skip-conncheck.

At the end I get below error

-----------------------------------------

  [22/31]: setting up initial replication

Starting replication, please wait until this has completed.

[ipa01.ma.net] reports: Update failed! Status: [-1  - LDAP error: Can't contact LDAP server]

Your system may be partly configured.

Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.

Failed to start replication

------------------------------------------------

I also find similar error reported while setting up ipa on Fedora 18 at https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2013-February/msg00440.html

But could not find its resolution.

I am able to connect to the 389/636 port from the slave. Firewall is off on both ends and hostnames resolves properly.

Thanks
