We should also probably note that in newer versions of FreeIPA we have
consolidated all instances in one, so only port 389 is used.

Simo.

The documentation is a little unclear, I agree. It is trying to say that 
IF you want a CA on the replica then you'll need port 7389 (and a few 
others) opened in the firewall.


Changing the port would require reconfiguring 389-ds to listen on 
another port (or an additional port) and configure replication over that 
port. We don't provide the ability to configure ports so you'd need to 
make code changes.


If the concern is lack of security, we initially (during 
ipa-replica-install) to use startTLS over 389. Once the server is up we 
reconfigure the agreement to use GSSAPI, so the data is always 
encrypted. For the case of the CA, it always uses startTLS on port 7389.
