  • IPA 4.1 cert validation failed ... ((SEC_ERROR_UNTRUSTED_ISSUER) Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user.)

    Posted on

    I have a new ipa server ulldap01.ccci.org runnin ipa-serverg 4.1.0-18.el7_1.3 on RHEL 7.1 and an ipa client ulrhnsat01.ccci.org with the same levels. The client is also a new install of Satellite 6. I am trying to set up ulrhnsat01 as a real-capsule with 'foreman-prepare-realm admin realm-capsule'. This fails with the following message repeated many times:

    ipa: ERROR: cert validation failed for "CN=ulldap01.ccci.org,O=CCCI.ORG" ((SEC_ERROR_UNTRUSTED_ISSUER) Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user.)

    In attempting to debug the issue, I have run: 'ipa -vv -e debug=True user-show admin' on the server and client. The server runs correctly. The client gives a bunch of output followed by:

    ipa: DEBUG: NSSConnection init ulldap01.ccci.org
    ipa: DEBUG: Connecting: 10.10.11.2:0
    ipa: DEBUG: auth_certificate_callback: check_sig=True is_server=False

    [root@ulldap01 ~]# certutil -L -d /etc/pki/nssdb

    IPA Machine Certificate - ulrhnsat01.ccci.org u,u,u

    Where can I go from here?
