If you create a master and want to create 3 replicas -- creating the
first replica works just fine, but I want the 2nd replica chained off
the first, and NOT the master. But unless you install a CA on that first
replica, you get an error.

1. install master
2. ipa-replica-prepare -- rep001 -- copy file to rep001
3. ipa-replica-install on rep001
4. ipa-replica-prepare rep002 --- does not work saying you can only
create replica from master?


Seems like poor language in the error message. The issue would come if 
you tried to stand up a CA on the new replica during install it would 
have no CA to talk to. I think otherwise a master without a CA would be 
able to provide everything else necessary for the prepare file.


You can use ipa-replica-manage connect/disconnect to tweak your 
replication topology. So create the replicas from a master that has a CA 
then add/delete connections as needed.


4.2 is going to introduce a new ay to manage topology:

For now you can create replica files only on servers that have the CA,
we may lift this restriction in future once we complete the replica
promotion feature.

Keep in mind that you can change replication topology after the install,
so you do not have to keep the 3rd replica agreements with the first
after you create agreements that connect the third to the second.

Simo.
