Well, well, I always find fun things. so my previous email from yesterday about the error with ipa-custodia failing a replica install - I think I found the culprit. It seems to be related to installing "Let's Encrypt" certs about a year ago. This is the first time I tried to add a new replica since then, and debugging shows that it retrieves the cert, btu then tries to match it to the IPA self-signed cert and of course they don't quite match - hence the error of :

ipapython.admintool: ERROR    406 Client Error: Failed to validate
message: No recipient matched the provided key["Failed:
[ValueError('Decryption failed.',)]"]

Now to figure out how to get rid of that cert and nto break things further.
