good news: the workaround of using libpam-cracklib really worked in ubuntu, in fedora the thing also works
the problem was that my testing machines were in a virtualbox with nat networking and in that configuration there can be some problems for making kerberos run correctly: http://hasustorm.com/books/English/OReilly.Kerberos.The.Definitive.Guide.eBook-LiB.chm/0596004036_kerberos-chp-6-sect-5.html when switched the network to use bridged mode the things started to work. I'm going to take a look to the other problems found to think for a clever solution for them thanks!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of FreeIPA, which is subscribed to freeipa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997990 Title: fail joining to a freeipa server with ipa-client-install Status in FreeIPA packaging for Ubuntu: New Status in “freeipa” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I try to join a freeipa domain and it seems there is some problem with the tls negotiacion. this is the log: pasqual@ubuntuprovesfreeipa:~$ sudo ipa-client-install -d --enable-dns-updates [sudo] password for pasqual: root : DEBUG /usr/sbin/ipa-client-install was invoked with options: {'conf_ntp': True, 'domain': None, 'uninstall': False, 'force': False, 'sssd': True, 'krb5_offline_passwords': True, 'hostname': None, 'permit': False, 'server': None, 'prompt_password': False, 'mkhomedir': False, 'dns_updates': True, 'preserve_sssd': False, 'debug': True, 'on_master': False, 'ntp_server': None, 'realm_name': None, 'unattended': None, 'principal': None} root : DEBUG missing options might be asked for interactively later root : DEBUG Loading Index file from '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.index' root : DEBUG Loading StateFile from '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.state' root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchldap(linux.gva.es)] root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchldap(gva.es)] root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchldap(es)] root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchldap(linux.gva.es)] root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchldap(gva.es)] root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchldap(es)] root : DEBUG Domain not found DNS discovery failed to determine your DNS domain Provide the domain name of your IPA server (ex: example.com): linux.gva.es root : DEBUG will use domain: linux.gva.es root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchldap] root : DEBUG IPA Server not found DNS discovery failed to find the IPA Server Provide your IPA server name (ex: ipa.example.com): freeipaserver.linux.gva.es root : DEBUG will use server: freeipaserver.linux.gva.es root : DEBUG [ipadnssearchkrb] root : DEBUG [ipacheckldap] root : DEBUG args=/usr/bin/wget -O /tmp/tmpWptXwb/ca.crt -T 15 -t 2 http://freeipaserver.linux.gva.es/ipa/config/ca.crt root : DEBUG stdout= root : DEBUG stderr=--2012-05-11 12:06:09-- http://freeipaserver.linux.gva.es/ipa/config/ca.crt Resolent freeipaserver.linux.gva.es (freeipaserver.linux.gva.es)... 192.168.222.99 S'està connectant a freeipaserver.linux.gva.es (freeipaserver.linux.gva.es)|192.168.222.99|:80... conectat.
