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

cert-find and cert-show use different APIs in dogtag. cert-find uses the
newer RESTful API and cert-show uses the older XML-based API (and is
authenticated). I'm guessing that is where the issue lies.

What I'd recommend doing is noting the time, restarting the CA, and then
plow through the debug log looking for failures. It could be that the CA
is only partially up (and I'd check your CA subsystem certs as well).
Which debug log, specifically, do you think will help? I'm also not sure what you mean by, "check your CA subsystem certs." We still have pending CSRs that we can't grant until I get this working again.

Digging still deeper:

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?

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:
