27.17. Promoting a replica to a CA renewal server and CRL publisher server
If your IdM deployment uses an embedded certificate authority (CA), one of the IdM CA servers acts as the CA renewal server, a server that manages the renewal of CA subsystem certificates. One of the IdM CA servers also acts as the IdM CRL publisher server, a server that generates certificate revocation lists.
By default, the CA renewal server and CRL publisher server roles are installed on the first server on which the system administrator installed the CA role using the ipa-server-install or ipa-ca-install command. You can, however, transfer either of the two roles to any other IdM server on which the CA role is enabled.
Prerequisites
- You have the IdM administrator credentials.
