So I can see my certs using cert-find, but can't get details using cert-show or add new ones using cert-request.

   # ipa cert-find
   :
   ------------------------------
   Number of entries returned 385
   ------------------------------
   # ipa cert-show 895
   ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Unable to
   communicate with CMS (503)
   # ipa cert-show 1 (which does not exist)
   ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Unable to
   communicate with CMS (503)
   # ipa cert-status 895
   ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Unable to
   communicate with CMS (503)
   #

Is this an IPV6 thing? Because ipactl shows everything green and certmonger is running.

Digging still deeper:

    # ipa cert-request f.f --principal=HTTP/`hostname`@DAMASCUSGRP.COM
    ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Unable to

Looks like this is an HTTP error; so is it possible that my IPA thinks it has a CA but there's no CMS available?

Using the firefox debugger, I get these errors when trying to pop up the New Certificate dialog:

    Empty string passed to getElementById().             (5)

    TypeError: u is undefined app.js:1:362059

I'm definitely not a web kind of guy so I'm not sure if this is helpful or not. This is on 4.4.0, API Version 2.213.

Good news. One of my servers _does_ have CA installed. So why does "Action -> New Certificate" not do anything on this or any other server?

I recently had to upgrade all my Fedora IPA servers to C7. It went well, and we've been up and running nicely on 4.4.0 on C7 for the past month or so.

Today, someone came and asked me to generate a new certificate for their web server. All was good until I went to the IPA UI and tried to perform Actions->New Certificate, which did nothing. I tried each of our 3 servers in turn. All came back with no popup window and no error, either.

I suspect the problem might be that we no longer have a CA server due to the method I used to upgrade the servers. I likely missed a "--setup-ca" in there somewhere, so my rolling update rolled over the CA.

What's my best hope of recovery? I never ran this before, so I'm not sure if this shows that I'm missing a CA or not:

    # ipa ca-find
    ------------

What's my best path of recovery?
