<font face="Inconsolata">Hello, I'm a bit of a pickle with the PKI
system. I have three replicas, but only one contains the CA. I
realize how poor a decision it was to do that. I plan to create
more complete replicas, but right now I can't even create a
replica file, much less a full replica.<br>
<br>
The problem started when the CA subsystem certificates expired. I
read several threads explaining how to roll back time and renew
them, but I then discovered that the host and HTTP certificates
for the server were missing. I checked for backups, but we
erroneously did not cover those files. Because they are missing I
was unable to rewnew any certificates.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to manually create host and service certificates?
When I search for this, the "manual" procedure listed in the
documentation requires `ipa cert-request` which does not work. I
did try installing a self-signed cert for HTTP with
`ipa-server-certinstall`. That changed the errors, but the
commands still fail. The pki-ca services is running OK, as far as
I can tell.<br>
<br>
I also tried adding a CA instance to one of the other replicas
with `ipa-ca-install`, but it failed during the configuration
phase.<br>
