21.6. Installing an IdM hidden replica
A hidden (unadvertised) replica is an Identity Management (IdM) server that has all services running and available. However, it has no SRV records in DNS, and LDAP server roles are not enabled. Therefore, clients cannot use service discovery to detect these hidden replicas.
For further details about hidden replicas, see The hidden replica mode.
Prerequisites
- Ensure your system is prepared for an IdM replica installation.
Procedure
To install a hidden replica, use the following command:
ipa-replica-install --hidden-replicaNote that the command installs a replica without DNS SRV records and with disabled LDAP server roles.
You can also change the mode of existing replica to hidden. For details, see Demoting or promoting hidden replicas
