Thanks for the quick reply and clarifying, Rob. I think we were simply confused 
by the CRL generator role being on a different replica from the CA renewal 
master while following the official RHEL8 to RHEL9 migration guide. Those other 
three parameters are present on the CRL generator and you're correct that we 
aren't using CRLs anyway. 

Cheers,

Scott

This isn't related to CA renewal, only CRL generation and certificate status 
updates. Though typically the CA renewal master and CRL generator servers are 
the same.

It should not be present on your CRL generator CS.cfg. The other servers should 
have it set to 0 to disable it.

You may want to double-check that the CRL generator also has 
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLCache=true,
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLUpdates=true and ca.listenToCloneModifications=true

The other servers should have these as false.

This was addressed upstream in https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/9569 but it 
isn't in RHEL 8.

I assume that you aren't using CRLs so it is probably not a big deal either way.
