I happened to find the online manuals on the ipa-client-install with the followings:
--server=SERVER
Set the IPA server to connect to. May be specified multiple times to add multiple servers to ipa_server value in sssd.conf. Only the first value is considered when used with --no-sssd.


It's different from the help from command line, :(.

Dear experts,

I have configured a FreeIPA server + a FreeIPA replica, which can work in expectation. But now when I am coming to configure the Client, how to specify the option --server for the ipa-client-install?

Since FreeIPA are working in the mode of master + replica, I think when we are configuring the client, we need to specify a "logical" server, otherwise, how to implement the failover?

Appreciated for your hints
Kind Regards, Wenxing
