ipa-ca-install(1)

NAME
ipa-ca-install - Install a CA on a server

SYNOPSIS

  DOMAIN LEVEL 0

ipa-ca-install [OPTION]... [replica_file]

  DOMAIN LEVEL 1

ipa-ca-install [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
Adds a CA as an IPA-managed service. This requires that the IPA server is already installed and configured. In a domain at domain level 0, you can run ipa-ca-install without replica_file to upgrade from CA-less to CA-full, or with replica_file to install the CA service on the replica. The replica_file is created using the ipa-replica-prepare utility and should be the same one used when originally installing the replica. In a domain at domain level 1, ipa-ca-install can be used to upgrade from CA-less to CA-full or to install the CA service on a replica, and does not require any replica file.

OPTIONS
-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).

--ca-signing-algorithm=ALGORITHM
    Signing algorithm of the IPA CA certificate. Possible values are SHA1withRSA, SHA256withRSA, 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

--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

EXIT STATUS
0 if the command was successful 1 if an error occurred
