From the 18.8.2 section point 2,

the -o option is the one below?

[root@vuwunicoipam001 ~]# find /etc/ -name cacert*
/etc/httpd/alias/cacert.p12

?

I think an explanation of what Im meant to be looking for might help...

You're using a self-signed CA?

The -o is what you defined as /path/to/cacert.p12. It is wherever you want to store the file.

This documentation is incorrect though, I thought I had filed a bug on this already. In a self-signed CA the root certificate is in /etc/httpd/alias and not in a 389-ds instance at all. So for step 2 you'd replace /etc/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-COM with /etc/httpd/alias.

What this is doing is creating a file to transport the self-signed CA private keys and certificate securely from one location to another.

This is assuming the original master is around. If it is then you can do this. If not then you saved /root/cacert.p12 from the initial install, right?

Subject: [Freeipa-users] How to restore IPA Master/Replicas

Hi,

My master is it seems dead and has been for a week, RH supprt cannot recover 
it.....so I need to move on and rebuild it.....first it looks like I need to 
promote my replica to be the master.

Do we have any good docs/procedures for the above?
