      After upgrading two freeipa servers (replicas of each other) from
ipa-server-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.7.x86_64 to
ipa-server-4.5.0-21.el7.centos.1.2.x86_64 during the recent
Centos 7.3 to 7.4 update, one of the servers is having Web UI errors.

One of the replicas Web UI works fine, the other throws the following
errors.
Here is the output is see from the Chrome browser:
