Attempting to install a FreeIPA replica using ipa-replica-install in the following environment: - Master: RHEL 8.10 with FIPS enabled - Replica: RHEL 9.8 with FIPS enabled
Replica installation fails during ipa-replica-conncheck with Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication errors.
Observed error:
KerberosError: No credentials found with supported encryption types
Both: - JSON RPC connection - SSH GSSAPI fallback fail with the same error.
This prevents deployment of FreeIPA replicas in mixed-version FIPS environments.
Specifically: RHEL 9 FIPS replicas cannot be promoted from RHEL 8 FIPS masters
Automated CI/testing involving mixed-version FIPS deployments fails
Existing upgrade and topology expansion workflows are blocked
100% reproducible in tested environments.
Observed consistently when: - Master is RHEL 8 FIPS enabled - Replica is RHEL 9 FIPS enabled
Replica promotion uses Kerberos/GSSAPI during ipa-replica-install
ipa-replica-install -U \ --setup-dns \ --no-dnssec-validation \ --forwarder 10.11.5.19 \ --setup-ca \ --allow-zone-overlap \ --server master.testrealm.test \ --domain testrealm.test \ --principal admin \ --admin-password Secret123
Observe failure during ipa-replica-conncheck.
Replica installation should succeed.
ipa-replica-conncheck should honor system crypto policy/FIPS configuration and negotiate supported SHA-2 encryption types successfully.
Replica installation fails during connection checks with:
and:
Connection closed during gssapi-with-mic
