NAME

ipa-kra-install - Install a KRA on a server

SYNOPSIS

DOMAIN LEVEL 0

DOMAIN LEVEL 1

DESCRIPTION

Adds a KRA as an IPA-managed service. This requires that the IPA server is already installed and configured, including a CA.

The KRA (Key Recovery Authority) is a component used to securely store secrets such as passwords, symmetric keys and private asymmetric keys. It is used as the back-end repository for the IPA Password Vault.

In a domain at domain level 0, ipa-kra-install can be run without replica_file to add KRA to the existing CA, or with replica_file to install the KRA service on the replica. ipa-kra-install will contact the CA to determine if a KRA has already been installed on another replica, and if so, will exit indicating that a replica_file is required.

The replica_file is created using the ipa-replica-prepare utility. A new replica_file should be generated on the master IPA server after the KRA has been installed and configured, so that the replica_file will contain the master KRA configuration and system certificates.

In a domain at domain level 1, ipa-kra-install can be used to add KRA to the existing CA, or to install the KRA service on a replica, and does not require any replica file.

KRA can only be removed along with the entire server using ipa-server-install --uninstall.
