Issue

Trying to setup password sync between IPA and Active directory.
Did the passsync.msi installation on Windows Server 2008 R2 and noticed some installation files are missing.

Passsync.msi creates the directory C:\Program Files\Red_Hat_Directory_Password_Synchronization.
Original installation place 14 files under that directory.

But in this specific situation 4 files are missing soon after the installation.There are total of 10 files.

Following files are missing :

  • cert8.db
  • key3.db
  • secmod.db
  • IPAcert.cer

Ran the command below as in the documentation but it failed with an error:

certutil -d . -A -n "IPAServer.au.fcl.internal IPA CA" -t C,, -a -i ca.cer

Error :certutil: function failed: security library: bad database.
