CentOS - Jun 2013 - IPA Client Install

Hi Folks.

I have installed an ipa server on a linux CentOS release 6.4 (Final).  It is
using outside DNS.  I have https console access authenticating admin user
through kerberos, and have migrated information on 80+ users and groups to it
from a LDAP server.

Packages related to ipa installed are:

[root ~]# rpm -qa | grep ipa
ipa-server-selinux-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64
ipa-pki-ca-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch
libipa_hbac-1.9.2-82.el6.x86_64
ipa-python-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64
ipa-admintools-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64
ipa-client-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64
python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.1.el6.noarch
ipa-pki-common-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch
libipa_hbac-python-1.9.2-82.el6.x86_64
ipa-server-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64
[root ~]#

I am now on the process of in CentOS 6.4 as IPA client, but I am getting error
"KeyError: 'namingcontexts'" I cannot find solution to.

Packages installed are:

 $ rpm -qa | grep ipa
ipa-client-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64
ipa-python-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.x86_64
python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.1.el6.noarch
libipa_hbac-python-1.9.2-82.el6.x86_64
libipa_hbac-1.9.2-82.el6.x86_64


Error on installation is the following

 $ ipa-client-install
Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(main())

    contexts = entries[0][1]['namingcontexts']
KeyError: 'namingcontexts'


Is it possible to be a CentOS 6.4 problem or it is me that have to go back to
the drawing board (missing any package, etc..) and see if I made any mistake?

Please advise.

Many thanks,

Marcelo

The first time that I set up a FreeIPA server, the process errored out 
and I did not notice.  I had a mostly-working FreeIPA server.  It's 
possible that yours is also incomplete.  The install should have left a 
log file which might help you determine whether or not there was a 
problem during setup.

If there was, you should probably start from scratch with a new install 
of CentOS to host FreeIPA, then export the user data you've got and 
import it on the new host.
