IPA Server installation with DNS fails on Oracle Linux 8.1

Sven JansenApr 9 2020 — edited Aug 18 2020

Hello,

i am in the process of replacing my Oracle Linux 7.x IPA Servers with Oracle Linux 8.1 using IPA from Oracle Linux 8.1 Appstream (module: idm:DL1). I made several attempts to install IPA with integrated DNS and the installation with "ipa-server-install --setup-dns" always fails with starting the named-pkcs11.service. I tested this with several new minimal installations of Oracle Linux 8.1 and with SE Linux enabled and disabled/permissive. I did the same process on a fresh RHEL 8.1 Minimal with same IP/Name/Hosts configuration and it always succeed. It looks like there is something wrong with the Oracle Linux 8.1 Appstream Repo for IPA.

In the Service log from named-pcs11.service show only this error:
