To resolve this issue, check the permissions of /var/log/dirsrv. The permissions should be the same as shown below.
[root@server ~]# ls -laZd /var/log/dirsrv/
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root system_u:object_r:dirsrv_var_log_t:s0 35 Jun 19 2021 /var/log/dirsrv/
Then check the permissions of /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-$domain, which should be similar as shown below.
[root@server ~]# ls -laZd /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-domain/
drwxrwx---. 2 dirsrv dirsrv unconfined_u:object_r:dirsrv_var_log_t:s0 4096 Jul 26 17:38 /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-$domain/
If permissions are not the same as above, you should restore the permissions of /var/log/ to the default or check if restoring only for the /var/log/dirsrv/ package can solve the issue as given below.
You can find the package to restore the /var/log/dirsrv using the command below.
# rpm -qf /var/log/dirsrv
Now execute the following command.
# rpm --setugids package_found_on_step_4 # rpm --setperms package_found_on_step_4
After changing the permissions shown above, reboot the IPA server.
# ipactl restart -d
