No, December 2013 was when it was originally built.

I used the original replica file for serverb, based on instructions i came across. I can try regenerating the replica file.
Interestingly, now that you mention it, servera had to be restored a couple of months back. Perhaps this is an issue and regenerating the replica file for serverb will be required.
I will try this.

original replica file was created on Dec 16 2013. Cert is not set to expire until 2015-12-17.

I actually do have serverc and serverd. I planned to have CA replication on at least 2 other servers, but held off on trying on serverc due to issues with serverb.
I'll report back what i find after regenerating the replica file and re-trying to setup CA replication.

Thanks in advance,

Hi All,
I have RHEL6 with ipa servers running standard ipa server 3.0.0-42. Pki components are also standard version 9.0.3-38.
Servera is the master
Serverb is the replica
Both have been running for many, many months. Serverb was initially setup as a replica, but not a CA replica.
I am now trying to add CA Replication to serverb but it is failing midway through and I cannot figure out why.
Annoyingly, I used the same method/command to setup a CA replica on test servers and it completed without issue.
Here is what I get….(for the sake of brevity, I am excluding the lines for connection check which were all OK)

Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.

I am not sure why this is happening.
Certutil shows that the setup isn’t complete on serverb when comparing against the CA replica in my test servers which were successful.
# certutil -L -d /var/lib/pki-ca/alias
Certificate Nickname Trust Attributes

certutil: Checking token "NSS Certificate DB" in slot "NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services"
Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB":
< 0> rsa ef25de4fb656a27e297899509bc3dad582bcd643 NSS Certificate DB:Server-Cert cert-pki-ca
As yet, I have not tried “/usr/sbin/ipa-server-install –uninstall” in an attempt to cleanup as this is a production server and apart from CA replication, it is running fine. I have tried multiple times manually removing pki instances and reinstalling but it still won’t get past the above error.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance,
Les
