Hi all,

Any one has successfully do a IPA replica promotion when IPA master(Hub)
failed, by following the IPA replica document for 2.1.3 and 2.2.0?

I've tried at my side and see that all the steps involved are very
confusing and may be out-of-dated. my IPA master is installed with
Dogtag, and all replicas are installed with Dogtag too through '--setup-ca'.

In case of ipamaster is not reachable, how can I promote ipareplica01?

the master.ca.agent.host/port are not setup on either ipareplica01 nor
ipareplica02 to forward to IPA master at beginning. do that means all
three IPA servers' Dogtag runs independently?

And what is the value of 'IssuingPointId' in step 3.e and 3.f?

Is that possible for the document
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Identity_Management_Guide/promoting-replica.html#promoting-pki,
or wiki/email, to give a SOLID use case instead of depicting statement?
which is ambiguous and not easy to follow.


[root@ipamaster ~]# for i in ipamaster ipareplica0{1,2}; do echo ${i};
ssh -x ${i} "cat /var/lib/pki-ca/conf/CS.cfg | egrep
'ca.certStatusUpdateInterval|ca.listenToCloneModifications|master.ca.agent'";
done
ipamaster
ipareplica01
ipareplica02

[root@ipamaster ~]# for i in ipamaster ipareplica0{1,2}; do echo ${i};
ssh -x ${i} "cat /var/lib/pki-ca/conf/CS.cfg | grep ca.crl | grep
enableCRL"; doneipamaster
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLCache=true
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLUpdates=true
ipareplica01
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLCache=true
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLUpdates=true
ipareplica02
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLCache=true
ca.crl.MasterCRL.enableCRLUpdates=true
[root@ipamaster ~]#

I'll see if I can get one of the dogtag guys to take a look at this.

In general, this is not really a big problem. All we are doing here is deciding which of the CAs will generate the CRL. You want just one because other operations are happening at the same time, potentially on other CAs, and if they are all generating a CRL at more or less the same time then resulting CRLs could be different by a cert or two. For consistency sake it is better to do this one one machine and publish it.

Other than that there is no "master" promotion required. All of the servers, particularly those with a CA installed, are equals.
