I just upgraded, using dnf, from 4.12.2-1.el9 to 4.12.2-7.el9 on a Centos Stream 9 IPA server. During the DNF upgrade, I received the following error:
Job for ipa.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status ipa.service" and "journalctl -xeu ipa.service" for details.
After the upgrade I attempted a manual ipa-server-upgrade which was met with many errors. I attempted a reboot of the host as it needed it for a kernel update anyways. Post reboot, none of the IPA Services will start, so ipa-server-upgrade fails nearly instantly.
ipactl start fails as it attempts to run the server-upgrade. ipactl start --skip-version-check fails with an error about dirsrv:
[root@ipa-primary sysrestore]# ipactl start --skip-version-check Skipping version check Starting Directory Service Failed to start Directory Service: CalledProcessError(Command ['/bin/systemctl', 'start', 'dirsrv@REDACTED.service'] returned non-zero exit status 1)
That service shows multiple errors: Jan 24 10:08:01 REDACTED ns-slapd[4763]: [24/Jan/2025:10:08:01.238214824 -0500] - ERR - plugin_setup - Required attribute nsslapd-pluginInitFunc is missing from entry "cn=Case Exact String Syntax,cn=plugins,cn=config" Jan 24 10:08:01 REDACTED ns-slapd[4763]: [24/Jan/2025:10:08:01.240364122 -0500] - ERR - slapd_bootstrap_config - The plugin entry [cn=Case Exact String Syntax,cn=plugins,cn=config]in the configfile /etc/dirsrv/slapd-REDACTED/dse.ldif was invalid.

Is there any way to save this?
