RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

I'm referring to our current documentation:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/manual-cert-renewal.html

I'm proposing the following changes:

29.3. Manual CA Certificate Renewal

All instructions are listed under this section:

"""
To manually renew the Dogtag CA certificate signed by an external CA: """

"""
1. Run the ipa-cacert-manage renew command. """

This should be
1. Run the ipa-cacert-manage renew command and --external-ca option: ipa-cacert-manage renew --external-ca


"""
5. Run the ipa-certupdate utility on all clients to update them with the
information about the new certificate from LDAP. You have to run
ipa-certupdate on every client separately. """

This should be
5. Run the ipa-certupdate utility on all clients and replicas to update them with the information about the new certificate from LDAP. You have to run ipa-certupdate on every client and replica separately.
Also looping in Martin for his comments.
