#9921 ipa uninstallation is failing with message "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'"
Closed: fixed by rjeffman. Opened by dhanina.

Closed: fixed
Reopen Issue

When uninstalling freeipa an error is on occasion thrown, resulting in a non-complete uninstall.

To replicate, you can setup freeipa server.
Assuming your server is up and running:

  • Setup replica
ipa-client-install
ipa-replica-install
ipa-ca-install
  • Remove some of the important lines in pki config.
vi /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg
remove line ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLCache=true
  • Run uninstall
ipa-server-install --uninstall

Whoops crash...

...
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ipaserver/install/cainstance.py", line 1341, in is_crlgen_enabled
enableCRLCache = cache.lower() == 'true'
...

This can be fixed by ensuring we check for None before calling .lower().

We most likely assume people will set lines to false, instead they resort to line deletion.
