man ipa-cacert-manage install needs clarification
Last modified: 2017-08-01 05:46:16 EDT
Cloned from upstream: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6795 The customers are often confused by ipa-cacert-manage install. The man page currently states: install - Install a CA certificate This command can be used to install the certificate contained in CERTFILE as an additional CA certificate to IPA. The man page should make it clear that IPA CA is not modified in any way by this command.

Important: this does not replace IPA CA but adds the provided certificate as a known CA. This is useful for instance when using ipa-server-certinstall to replace HTTP/LDAP certificates with third-party certificates signed by this additional CA.
