ipa-ca-install - Man Page

ipa-ca-install [OPTION]...

Adds a CA as an IPA-managed service. This requires that the IPA server is already installed and configured.

ipa-ca-install can be used to upgrade from CA-less to CA-full or to install the CA service on a replica.

Domain level 0 is not supported anymore.

-d,  --debug

Enable debug logging when more verbose output is needed

-p DM_PASSWORD, --password=DM_PASSWORD

Directory Manager (existing master) password

-w ADMIN_PASSWORD, --admin-password=ADMIN_PASSWORD

Admin user Kerberos password used for connection check

--external-ca

Generate a CSR for the IPA CA certificate to be signed by an external CA.

--external-ca-type=TYPE

Type of the external CA. Possible values are "generic", "ms-cs". Default value is "generic". Use "ms-cs" to include the template name required by Microsoft Certificate Services (MS CS) in the generated CSR (see --external-ca-profile for full details).

--external-ca-profile=PROFILE_SPEC

Specify the certificate profile or template to use at the external CA.

When --external-ca-type is "ms-cs" the following specifiers may be used:

<oid>:<majorVersion>[:<minorVersion>]

Specify a certificate template by OID and major version, optionally also specifying minor version.

<name>

Specify a certificate template by name.  The name cannot contain any : characters and cannot be an OID (otherwise the OID-based template specifier syntax takes precedence).

default

If no template is specified, the template name "SubCA" is used.

--external-cert-file=FILE

File containing the IPA CA certificate and the external CA certificate chain. The file is accepted in PEM and DER certificate and PKCS#7 certificate chain formats. This option may be used multiple times.

--ca-subject=SUBJECT

The CA certificate subject DN (default CN=Certificate Authority,O=REALM.NAME).  RDNs are in LDAP order (most specific RDN first).

--subject-base=SUBJECT

The subject base for certificates issued by IPA (default O=REALM.NAME).  RDNs are in LDAP order (most specific RDN first).

--pki-config-override=FILE

File containing overrides for CA installation.

--ca-signing-algorithm=ALGORITHM

Signing algorithm of the IPA CA certificate. Possible values are SHA1withRSA, SHA256withRSA, SHA384withRSA, SHA512withRSA. Default value is SHA256withRSA. Use this option with --external-ca if the external CA does not support the default signing algorithm.

--no-host-dns

Do not use DNS for hostname lookup during installation

--random-serial-numbers

Enable Random Serial Numbers. Random serial numbers cannot be used in a mixed environment. Either all CA's have it enabled or none do.

--skip-conncheck

Skip connection check to remote master

--skip-schema-check

Skip check for updated CA DS schema on the remote master

-U,  --unattended

An unattended installation that will never prompt for user input
