+This command can be used to install the certificate contained in \fICERTFILE\fR as an additional CA certificate to IPA. Important: this does not replace IPA CA but adds the provided certificate as a known CA. This is useful for instance when using ipa-server-certinstall to replace HTTP/LDAP certificates with third-party certificates signed by this additional CA.
