NAME¶

ipa-replica-prepare - Create an IPA replica file

SYNOPSIS¶

ipa-replica-prepare [OPTION]... hostname

DESCRIPTION¶

Generates a replica file that may be used with ipa-replica-install to create a replica of an IPA server.

A replica can be created on any IPA master or replica server.

You must provide the fully-qualified hostname of the machine you want to install the replica on and a host-specific replica_file will be created. It is host-specific because SSL server certificates are generated as part of the process and they are specific to a particular hostname.

If IPA manages the DNS for your domain, you should either use the --ip-address option or add the forward and reverse records manually using IPA plugins.

Once the file has been created it will be named replica-hostname. This file can then be moved across the network to the target machine and a new IPA replica setup by running ipa-replica-install replica-hostname.

OPTIONS¶

--dirsrv-cert-file=FILE

--http-cert-file=FILE

File containing the Apache Server SSL certificate and private key. The files are accepted in PEM and DER certificate, PKCS#7 certificate chain, PKCS#8 and raw private key and PKCS#12 formats. This option may be used multiple times.

--dirsrv-pin=PIN

--ip-address=IP_ADDRESS

This option can be specified multiple times for each interface of the server (e.g. multihomed and/or dualstacked server), or for each IPv4 and IPv6 address of the server. The corresponding A or AAAA and PTR records will be added to the DNS if they do not exist already.
