[Freeipa-users] external CA install problem

Fri Jul 19 17:11:36 UTC 2013

I'm trying to install an IPA server using an external CA.

I ran the ipa-server-install --external-ca command, and got my cert signed by our on-site CA.

So then I go back to install using my certs:

ipa-server-install --external_cert_file=/root/ipa.cer --external_ca_file=/root/CACert.cer

I get this for output:

Any thoughts on what I can do to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.
