ipaserver-install fails on new RHEL9.4 build

Posted on

Trying to install ipa server on a new RHEL9.4 VM and it is failing at the very end (client initialisation).
The client install log shows:

Not sure why. It appears the server and all its components were installed, just the final client initialisation step failed. If I attempt any client commands - locally - after the failure I get a similar error:

[user@ipa-server ~]$ kinit admin

[user@ipa-server ~]$ ipa help

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise ProtocolError(

Any clues?
