You can not use ipa-getcert to request / issue certificates from an
external CA. Issuing certificates now needs to be managed by the
external CA's tools. You should also disable the old CA from starting up
on IPA server.
I guess it depends what the definition of external CA is. Was the IPA CA
re-signed using an external CA or did you intend to drop the IPA CA
entirely and depend on the remote CA?
For #1 then it is working as expected. The IPA CA is a subordinate CA to
your remote so things should work fine.
For #2 then you can't use ipa-getcert[1] or ipa cert-request to manage
the certificates.

[1] Theoretically you could configure a CA for certmonger that would use
the remote and assuming certmonger could talk to it then it should work.
I'm not sure anyone has tried this before so you'd be walking on the edge.

The certificates are being issued via ipa-getcert. The certificates
we get back are signed with what looks to be the old "self-signed"
IPA CA certificate. The CN is the same as the new one, but the
serial / expiry and issuer is different than what IPA is using for
its own web-ui.

How are you issuing the certs for the clients? Are they signed
by the same certificate chain that signed the IPA certificate?
Did you install the CA certificate chain as trusted CA on the
clients?

We are in the process of switching to using an external CA.
We have successfully gone through he process and indeed the
Web UI now shows the expected certificate chain.
However when we issue certificates to our clients downstream
they are using a signing certificate that was not issued by
the new external CA. I've tried to find in the
documentation how that gets set, but seem to be at a loss.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
Thanks!
