Hey everyone,

I had FreeIPA authentication set up on my oVirt instance and it was working great. Then something happened that disconnected my NFS storage and caused a problem with my hosted-engine. Once I got it back up and running again, my FreeIPA authentication was sill a choice for authentication, but it always rejects my password even though it is correct. I have tried running the setup again to no avail. Nothing shows up in the httpd error log when the login fails. The engine.log from ovirt-engine in /var/log shows the following upon attempting to authenticate with a user from freeIPA:

2018-04-23 08:08:24,384-06 WARN [org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.Framework] (default task-34) [] Ignoring records from pool: 'authz'

2018-04-23 08:08:24,384-06 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.sso.servlets.InteractiveAuthServlet] (default task-34) [] Cannot authenticate user 'nesretep@IPA' connecting from 'UNKNOWN': The username or password is incorrect.

I'm not sure why 'authz' is being ignored but it is certainly why IPA authentication isn't working as 'username@authz' is how IPA logins show up in oVirt when they do work. Any ideas where to look next?
