OK Martin, thanks for the explanation - i suspected it might not work quite correctly. On that basis I have decided to hold off an wait for a more optimistic situation. I really appreciate the advice, looks like my time will be better spent configuring the clients to use the replica! On Thu, May

It will create clone of the original CA, it will work as backup not a separate CA. I'm afraid it will result into the same behavior because it uses almost the same code, but as I said before this issue is on dogtag side and not always reproducible. On 18.05.2017 14:44, Callum Guy wrote:

Thanks for that Martin. The man page for ipa-ca-install suggests i could pass in my replica file to create a "CA-less" configuration. Is this what i want or is a CA-full appropriate? All I want to achieve is the additional resilience provided by a replica which can both authorise and sign

ipa-ca-install will install on top of FreeIPA CA-less replica, nothing else, you really don't want to do it manually. On 18.05.2017 14:12, Callum Guy wrote: Thanks Martin, really appreciate the additional information. Are you aware of a separate guide for installing DogTag/PKI on top of

Thanks Martin, really appreciate the additional information. Are you aware of a separate guide for installing DogTag/PKI on top of FreeIPA - basically I am happy to install separately if it doesn't compromise the FreeIPA server configuration, i'm not clear on whether this is possible without a

Haha, looks like i'm going CA-less for a while on the replica. I don't see any immediate requirement for one so time to get on with my life! I'll post back if anything changes but I'm probably stuck waiting for the upgrade too.. On Thu, May 18, 2017 at 11:01 AM Lachlan Musicman

Ah, thanks for that Lachlan - its always reassuring to hear that its not just me! As mentioned above I have it running without the CA so that's a good start. I am sure we will upgrade as well once 4.5 becomes stable and GA for CentOS. I'm not expecting that to happen quickly so will have to work

Hi All, Just following on from this, I have performed an installation without --setup-ca and it has completed successfully. I now need to understand what impact this might have, is it the case that I can still install/configure the CA component? Is there any documentation on this action? Also

Hi All, I am currently stuck trying to setup the first replica of our master IPA server. I have tried a number of different approaches including escalating from a client and nothing is working for me. I perform a full OS reset each time I get stuck. I'm running CentOS 7.2 with the FreeIPA 4.4.0
