Hi all.
I need to setup a freeIPA replica and not sure which is the best and
more reliable.
I found a few people preparing the replica from the server others just
installing the replica on another machine with the appropriate
configuration.
Any info/docs?
It depends on the version of IPA (and the knowing the distro would help
too).
For 4.x+ you want to start with:
$ ipa domainlevel-get
If it is domain level 1 then you can install the new machine as an IPA
client and then promote it to a master by running ipa-replica-install.
For domain-level 0 you need to run ipa-replica-prepare on an existing
master and then ipa-replica-install <gpg file> on the new master.
