[Freeipa-users] Cannot obtain CA Certificate

[John Moyer]

Sorry for the late response, so I tried this, and it changed the error to the following: 

Synchronizing time with KDC...

Joining realm failed: HTTP response code is 401, not 200
Installation failed. Rolling back changes.



Looking at debug this is what I see: 

< HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
< Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:54:21 GMT
< Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)
* gss_init_sec_context() failed: : Server krbtgt/COM at EXAMPLE.COM not found in Kerberos database< WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
