ipa trust add fails with "ipa: ERROR: Insufficient access: CIFS server <server> denied your credentials"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are trying to set up a trust between IPA domain and Active Directory domain. We are getting error "ipa: ERROR: Insufficient access: CIFS server " denied your credentials.

For example:

ipa trust-add --all --type=ad addomain.com --admin='adadmin' --password --base-id=791200000 --range-size=200000

The trust setup fails, printing the following error:
ipa: DEBUG: Caught fault 2100 from server https://ipa.example.com/ipa/xml:
Insufficient access: CIFS server denied your credentials
ipa: DEBUG: Destroyed connection context.xmlclient
ipa: ERROR: Insufficient access: CIFS server denied your credentials
