So, replication is working and there is indeed a new certificate for IPA RA. Can this be
from the renewal cycle on ldap1.
Yes. Only one server does the renewal through the CA, the so-called CA
Renewal Master. The result of the renewal is put into LDAP to be shared
with the other IPA servers. It sounds like this happened as expected.
But isn't this some kind of chicken-egg-problem now? Apparently
ldap2 cannot talk to the CA and as a consequence I cannot query certificate contents on
ldap2. getcert resubmit puts me back in the status of CA_WORKING.
It's not because communication with the CA is not necessary in order to
retrieve the updated certificate as it is stored within the IPA LDAP tree.
Would adding it manually to the database in /etc/httpd/alias work? Or
can I put in some other place to make the "dogtag-ipa-ca-renew-agent" aware of
the new certificate?
It's possible sure.
I'd also suggest checking the journal for certmonger messages to perhaps
get a better idea of what is going on. The 389-ds access log will show
you whether certmonger is searching for the updated cert.
