Hello All,

I upgraded our ipa server and after the upgrade ipa won't start again. further investigation shows that components of ipa starts but pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service appears to be where the issue lies. checking the logs suggested that issue lies in the certificate database. on checking the directory /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias with certutils

[namead@ipasvr01 alias]$ sudo certutil -K -d . -f pwdfile.txt 
certutil: Checking token "NSS Certificate DB" in slot "NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services"

Any help in the deleting the key would be appreciated.
