You have been subscribed to a public bug:

freeipa fails to configure on s390x.   (Configuration being handled by
the freeipa-server-install script)    This script has two failure
points.   The first is below:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeipa/+bug/1600634 describes
a known bug but it was only resolved for x86_64.

In the falling scenario the install log will have entries like the
following:

2018-04-10T18:53:01Z DEBUG nsslapd-pluginenabled:
2018-04-10T18:53:01Z DEBUG      on
2018-04-10T18:53:01Z DEBUG nsslapd-pluginpath:
2018-04-10T18:53:01Z DEBUG      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dirsrv/plugins/schemacompat-plugin.so
2018-04-10T18:53:01Z DEBUG nsslapd-pluginversion:
2018-04-10T18:53:01Z DEBUG      0.8


Obviously on s390x /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dirsrv/plugins/schemacompat-plugin.so will never be found.

Now if I create a symbolic link with the above name that is linked to
the same location but with s390x where x86_64 is located, the install
will proceed past this failing location.

The second failure point in the freeipa-server-install script is near
the end, after the script has completed the freeipa-server-install and
where it attempts to install the freeipa-client.  The client install
appears to fail because of a problem with certificates related to the
server install.

2018-04-17T12:14:59Z ERROR Cannot connect to the server due to generic
error: Insufficient access: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy
mechs found (Unknown authentication method)

The above appears to be related to an issue with the key database

# certutil -L

# ipa cert-show 1
