[Freeipa-users] ipa-replica-install hangs: starting certificate server instance

Thu May 18 09:33:17 UTC 2017

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 in the event of a failure of my master server (I only have these two)
will all my certificates be invalidated and lost or will the replica still
be able to handle these certificates until a time where a new master has
been created?

Thanks,

Callum
