Hi Ian,
with IPA 4.6.8 you just need to follow the 389ds doc.
The procedure was more complex in version < 3.2.2 because there were two 389ds instances (one for the regular suffix and one for the Certificate Server) and the password has to be manually synchronized between the 2, and the replica installation was done using a different procedure (you had to prepare a replica file containing passwords, private keys, certificates and then transfer this file on the future replica).
HTH,

Maybe it's just me, but I still find the documentation on this subject
confusing.  (This is probably because the docs seem to be telling me
that I don't need to do anything beyond the actual password change, and
I don't trust answers that seem too easy.)

I running a single-node IPA 4.6.8 on RHEL 7.  The actual password change
with ldapmodify[1] is simple enough.  Am I reading the FreeIPA
documentation[2] correctly, that I don't need to perform any other
steps?

Thanks!
