Thanks for the detailed instructions! I will have to do this process on the
weekend. Cant bring down the server now. I'll proceed with stopping
ntpd/chronyd and rolling back the date to when the certificates were valid,
then follow the steps you've outlined. I'll also keep an eye on getcert
list to ensure everything gets renewed properly.

Like I mentioned before, I inherited these FreeIPA servers. Before I do any
of the steps you've outlined, Is it possible to install and configure a new
master server and replica with the latest version of FreeIPA, including CA
and DNS, and then replace the current master server with the new setup? If
so, what would be the best approach for that transition?
