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.

Doc Text:
.Setting up IdM as a hidden replica is now fully supported Identity Management (IdM) in RHEL 8.2 fully supports setting up IdM servers as hidden replicas. A hidden replica is an IdM server that has all services running and available. However, it is not advertised to other clients or masters because no `SRV` records exist for the services in DNS, and LDAP server roles are not enabled. Therefore, clients cannot use service discovery to detect hidden replicas. Hidden replicas are primarily designed for dedicated services that can otherwise disrupt clients. For example, a full backup of IdM requires to shut down all IdM services on the master or replica. Since no clients use a hidden replica, administrators can temporarily shut down the services on this host without affecting any clients. Other use cases include high-load operations on the IdM API or the LDAP server, such as a mass import or extensive queries. To install a new hidden replica, use the `ipa-replica-install --hidden-replica` command. To change the state of an existing replica, use the `ipa server-state` command. For further details, see link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/installing_identity_management/installing-an-ipa-replica_installing-identity-management#installing-an-idm-hidden-replica_install-replica[Installing an IdM hidden replica].

3.Verify that Replica can be setup from another Replica already configured as Hidden Replica: PASS
4.Verify that Error message is displayed when state of all master is changed to 'hidden'.: PASS
5.Verify that replica can be demoted to be a hidden replica.: PASS
6.Verify that hidden replica can be promoted.: PASS
7.Verify that KRA installation works on replica setup as hidden Replica: PASS

8. Verified that replica state can be changed to hidden after upgrade
