Description Rob Crittenden 2020-05-01 17:04:11 UTC
Description of problem:

Problem discovered on RHEL 7.7.

User had a set of IPA masters, some of which run the KRA.

The CA renewal master does not have that role.

The KRA certificates expired and there was no way to renew them.

The suggested workaround was to set one of the KRA masters as the renewal master, renew the certs, force the other KRA masters to pull them in, then restore the original CA renewal master (or leave it).

We may need to require that if a KRA is installed require that one of those masters is the renewal master. Enforcing this could be difficult.
