Can you please be more specific about what you are doing? The linking to the external CA is one time operation during the initial installation. If you want to use the IPA as a subordinate CA you need to specify a flag during installation (it seems that you are doing that based on the comments above). The installation will stop indicating that you need to take CSR and sign by the external CA. So you should take the CSR and sign. Then you present the result back to IPA and continue the installation. Based on the description above it is not clear which step is failing. -- Thank you, Dmitri Pal Sr. Engineering Manager for IdM portfolio Red Hat Inc. ------------------------------- Looking to carve out IT costs? www.redhat.com/carveoutcosts/
