Hello,

After looking further , it looks to me that the installer fails to do the
smoke test since the SSL client certificates are not installed ..

This script , /opt/xcat/share/xcat/scripts/setup-local-client.sh is
probably the script that generates the client certs in /root/.xcat
directory .

When it runs , it seems to be failing here:

openssl req -config /etc/xcat/ca/openssl.cnf -new -key client-key.pem -out
client-req.pem -extensions usr_cert -subj /CN=root
Error adding request extensions from section usr_cert
001EDAAFD77F0000:error:11000079:X509 V3 routines:v2i_AUTHORITY_KEYID:no
issuer certificate:crypto/x509/v3_akid.c:156:
001EDAAFD77F0000:error:11000080:X509 V3 routines:X509V3_EXT_nconf_int:error
in extension:crypto/x509/v3_conf.c:48:section=usr_cert,
name=authorityKeyIdentifier, value=keyid,issuer

So, the client-req.pem file creation fails and then the rest of the file
creations fail .

I am not sure what could be the problem in openssl.cnf file in the
[usr_cert] section.  Something in that section openssl does not like ,
that's my suspicion . I compared it to a installation done in Rocky 8.10 OS
, and openssl.cnf is the same file as the new installation.  Only
difference I see is openssl version changed in Rocky 9 linux. That might be
the cause of it?

Has anyone installed the latest xcat in RHEL 9 or Rocky 9 ?

thanks again.
