Not sure if I should start a new thread for this, but... I am now trying to follow the instructions given in this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2014-August/msg00338.html. I think this configuration should work well with our deployment strategy.
I feel like I am following the steps exactly but always end up with "full certificate chain is not present in /etc/ipa/pki/example.org.p12² during ipa-server-install. Have others followed this process more recently? I am wondering if there might have been any changes so that these steps no longer work, or possibly there is an easier way to do this now. I am running version: ipa-server-4.1.0-18.el7.centos.4.x86_64.
