I had issues with my old FreeIPA installation so I rebuilt using Fedora 28 and FreeIPA 4.6 from the COPR of @freeipa/freeipa-4-6.

I managed successfully setup the server and import my DNS data. Now when I try to create a replica it is blowing up. When I run "ipa-replica-install --principal admin@IPA.${DOMAIN} -w 'uber-secret-password' -N" it's failing. I've tried Google, cleaned up the directory of the server entries, etc. I'm at an impass.

Here is the error

Done configuring Kerberos KDC (krb5kdc).
Configuring kadmin
  [1/2]: starting kadmin
  [2/2]: configuring kadmin to start on boot
Done configuring kadmin.
Configuring directory server (dirsrv)
  [1/3]: configuring TLS for DS instance
  [error] RuntimeError: Certificate issuance failed (CA_REJECTED)
Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.

I was going to get the error from the log directory. I ran uninstall before I thought about it. Then when I try again it fails on "entry already exists". So when I run uninstall again I have to do 'ipa server-del ipa-server1.ipa.domain'.

I'm having no luck and it fails at random places. For example after the last cleanup I got "Insufficient Access" with write privilege on cn=replication,cn=etc,dc=ipa,dc=$domain'

Any help would really be appreciated. This is really holding me up.
