To confirm, with the PPA the installation continues, and "Configuring certificate server" succeeds.
However, now "Configuring the web interface" fails with [12/21]: setting up ssl [error] RuntimeError: Certificate issuance failed (CA_REJECTED) ipapython.admintool: ERROR Certificate issuance failed (CA_REJECTED) ipapython.admintool: ERROR The ipa-server-install command failed.

See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information The cause for this is that tomcat8 is built with JDK9 and is not compatible with instances that have to use JRE8 for other reasons. [Test Case] Install freeipa-server, run ipa-server-install. [Regression Potential] The fix is a fairly big patch for tomcat8 to modify the code so that it runs with JRE8. It passes the upstream test suite though, when run with JRE8 though tomcat itself was built with the default JDK. [Other info] Patch will be sent upstream too.
