It definately wasn't a policy problem. I couldn't even use ipa passwd as admin from the command line, there was a connection error. The upgrade meant my IPA server was straight borked. The solution? Revert to a previous snapshot, and continue using the old, working IPA (2.0.0-23.el6_1.2).
And I learned a valuable lesson: if it ain't broke, don't upgrade. Tim Hildred, RHCE Content Author II - Engineering Content Services, Red Hat, Inc.
