Chapter 111. Demoting or promoting hidden replicas
After a replica has been installed, you can configure whether the replica is hidden or visible.
For details about hidden replicas, see The hidden replica mode.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that the replica is not the DNSSEC key master. If it is, move the service to another replica before making this replica hidden.
- Ensure that the replica is not a CA renewal server. If it is, move the service to another replica before making this replica hidden. For details, see Changing and resetting IdM CA renewal server.
Procedure
To hide a replica:
ipa server-state replica.idm.example.com --state=hidden
# ipa server-state replica.idm.example.com --state=hidden
Copy to Clipboard Copied! To make a replica visible again:
ipa server-state replica.idm.example.com --state=enabled
# ipa server-state replica.idm.example.com --state=enabled
Copy to Clipboard Copied! To view a list of all the hidden replicas in your topology:
ipa config-show
# ipa config-show
Copy to Clipboard Copied! If all of your replicas are enabled, the command output does not mention hidden replicas.
