Dear All,

Trying to install ipa-server (4.7.1-11.module_el8.0.0+79+bbd20d7b package from @AppStream) on a new virtual CentOS Linux 8.0.1905 server within my LAN (fresh test install, the previous version on CentOS 7 did work), I persistently get the following error message when freipa-install tries to configure the dirsrv:

[37/44]: initializing group membership [error] NotFound: no such entry

I would very much welcome if anyone could point me to the right direction. I find the log content (below) not very telling.

Regards,

Michael Schefczyk
