What happens if someone sets up multiple IPA servers and only has a CA
installed on one of them, and that server goes away forever for some
reason (they deleted the replica, horrific failure, etc)?
Let's also assume they saved the original CA PKCS#12 file.
You may need to save more than the original CA PKCS#12 file.
You should save also CA's internal database and remember how it was
customize.
Is there some mechanism to either stand up a new dogtag instance with
this CA's key? Would it be better to stand up a new server as a
subordinate of this CA?
I'm not entirely sure of the mechanics we'd use for either of these,
but its a start.
thanks
