Rob,

FreeIPA documentation stated that all clients must receive the
ipa-updatecert command before installing the new server cert.. on the
hiipa04 server I installed the cert in a hurry for validity sake. Does that
mess with anything?

Note: hiipa03 seems to be primary but they’re both masters. I can’t get the
ipa-server-certinstall to take on this server stating it’s missing the
whole chain.. but it worked just fine on hiipa04.. so that’s why I was
trying to “kinit admin” on 03, to run ipa-updatecert or the
ipa-cacert-manage there if it didn’t take it from 04, which I’m assuming it
didn’t.
