Hello, I’ve been suffocating the same problem. I applied ipa-server-certinstall without adding ca first. I applied your steps and added my ca.crt to /etc/ipa/ca.crt and /etc/ipa/nssdb with certutil, after than I run ipa-certupdate and it fails again.

[root@xxx ~]# certutil -d sql:/etc/ipa/nssdb/ -L

Certificate Nickname Trust Attributes SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

Xxx IPA CA CT,C,C globalsign CT,C,C

After this I ran ipa-certupdate and it says

cannot connect to 'any of the configured servers’: …. (List of my ipaservers goes here) The ipa-certupdate command failed.

Should I do this process for all servers, or I am missing something? Related to this problem I am having login failure at the web ui. Would it work if I created a new db and added my GlobalSign ca there? Do I need the self signed ipa ca?

Thanks.
