I would recommend checking /var/log/httpd/error_log, it may have more details. I would also recommend checking "ipa cert-show 1", it will probably fail with the same bug. >>>Yes ipa cert-show 1 does show the same thing # ipa cert-show 1 >>>ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Unable to >>>communicate with CMS (Service Unavailable) >>> >>>>Next steps may include checking that dogtag service really runs, there is no SELinux AVC.

This is a wild guess, but maybe you updated your java to java-1.8.0-openjdk?

Good! Fraser, can we improve anything in pki-core, so that wrong java version issue like this one does not occur? IIRC, pki-core in RHEL-6.x was updated to somehow deal with java 1.8.0 (conflict), not sure if lower versions are also covered.

I think the right way is to use "alternate" program I mentioned earlier to let you choose the right version of the java executable and/or libraries. >After a reboot FreeIPA works properly which is great but I'm wondering if there is a better fix though since all the other executables in are from the 1.6 version. I can't find a corresponding location for 1.7 executables. The "alternate" approach should "just work".
