3884a671cb renew agent: revert to host keytab authentication
Fixes an issue where the renew agent uses GSSAPI for LDAP connection but
fails because it is not authenticated.

This reverts commit 7462adec13.

e934da09d5 dogtag-ipa-ca-renew-agent-submit: fix the is_replicated() function
dogtag-ipa-ca-renew-agent-submit behaves differently depending on the
certificate it needs to renew. For instance, some certificates (such as IPA RA)
are the same on all the hosts and the renewal is actually done only on
the renewal master. On other nodes, the new cert is downloaded from LDAP.

The function is_replicated() is returning the opposite as what it should. If
the cert nickname is IPA RA, it should return that the cert is replicated but
it doesn't, and this leads to a wrong code path to renew the cert.

5ab85b365a Moving ipaCert from HTTPD_ALIAS_DIR
The "ipaCert" nicknamed certificate is not required to be
in /var/lib/ipa/radb NSSDB anymore as we were keeping a copy
of this file in a separate file anyway. Remove it from there
and track only the file. Remove the IPA_RADB_DIR as well as
it is not required anymore.

595f9b64e3 Workaround for certmonger's "Subject" representations
If an OpenSSL certificate is requested in Certmonger
(CERT_STORAGE == "FILE") the "Subject" field of such Certificate
is ordered as received. However, when an NSS certificate is
requested, the "Subject" field takes the LDAP order
(components get reversed). This is a workaround so that the behavior
stays the same.

The workaround should be removed when
https://pagure.io/certmonger/issue/62 gets fixed.

This is in preparation for separating out the user under which the

This commit also removes certs.NSS_DIR to avoid confusion and replaces
it where appropriate with the correct NSS DB directory, either the old
HTTPD_ALIAS_DIR ot the RA DB IPA_RADB_DIR. In some cases its use is
removed altogether as it was simply not necessary.

1e6a204b43 Set explicit confdir option for global contexts
Some API contexts are used to modify global state (e.g. files in /etc
and /var). These contexts do not support confdir overrides. Initialize
the API with an explicit confdir argument to paths.ETC_IPA.

The special contexts are:

* backup
* cli_installer
* installer
* ipctl
* renew
* restore
* server
* updates

The patch also corrects the context of the ipa-httpd-kdcproxy script to
'server'.

808b1436b4 Refactor installer code requesting certificates
- Temporary modify certmonger dogtag-ipa-ca-renew helper to request the IPA RA
agent cert, using the temp cert created during pkispawn. The cert request
is now processed through certmonger, and the helper arguments are restored
once the agent cert is obtained.

- Modify the installer code creating HTTP and LDAP certificates to use
certmonger's IPA helper with temporary parameters (calling dogtag-submit
instead of ipa-submit)

- Clean-up for the integration tests: sometimes ipa renewal.lock is not
released during ipa-server-uninstall. Make sure that the file is removed
to allow future installations.

output are accessible as attributes.

The stdout and stderr of all commands are logged (unless skip_output is given).

The stdout/stderr contents must be explicitly requested with a keyword

This is because in Python 3, the output needs to be decoded, and that can
fail if it's not decodable (human-readable) text.

The raw (bytes) output is always available from the result object,
as is "leniently" decoded output suitable for logging.

When something goes wrong while resubmitting the request, it needs to be

94d457e83c Use DN objects instead of strings
* Convert every string specifying a DN into a DN object

* Every place a dn was manipulated in some fashion it was replaced by
  the use of DN operators

* Add new DNParam parameter type for parameters which are DN's

* DN objects are used 100% of the time throughout the entire data
  pipeline whenever something is logically a dn.

* Many classes now enforce DN usage for their attributes which are
  dn's. This is implmented via ipautil.dn_attribute_property(). The
  only permitted types for a class attribute specified to be a DN are
  either None or a DN object.

* Require that every place a dn is used it must be a DN object.
  This translates into lot of::

    assert isinstance(dn, DN)

  sprinkled through out the code. Maintaining these asserts is
  valuable to preserve DN type enforcement. The asserts can be
  disabled in production.

  The goal of 100% DN usage 100% of the time has been realized, these
  asserts are meant to preserve that.

  The asserts also proved valuable in detecting functions which did
  not obey their function signatures, such as the baseldap pre and
  post callbacks.

* Moved ipalib.dn to ipapython.dn because DN class is shared with all
  components, not just the server which uses ipalib.

* All API's now accept DN's natively, no need to convert to str (or
  unicode).

* Removed ipalib.encoder and encode/decode decorators. Type conversion
  is now explicitly performed in each IPASimpleLDAPObject method which
  emulates a ldap.SimpleLDAPObject method.

* Entity & Entry classes now utilize DN's

* Removed __getattr__ in Entity & Entity clases. There were two
  problems with it. It presented synthetic Python object attributes
  based on the current LDAP data it contained. There is no way to
  validate synthetic attributes using code checkers, you can't search
  the code to find LDAP attribute accesses (because synthetic
  attriutes look like Python attributes instead of LDAP data) and
  error handling is circumscribed. Secondly __getattr__ was hiding
  Python internal methods which broke class semantics.

* Replace use of methods inherited from ldap.SimpleLDAPObject via
  IPAdmin class with IPAdmin methods. Directly using inherited methods
  was causing us to bypass IPA logic. Mostly this meant replacing the
  use of search_s() with getEntry() or getList(). Similarly direct
  access of the LDAP data in classes using IPAdmin were replaced with
  calls to getValue() or getValues().

* Objects returned by ldap2.find_entries() are now compatible with
  either the python-ldap access methodology or the Entity/Entry access
  methodology.

* All ldap operations now funnel through the common
  IPASimpleLDAPObject giving us a single location where we interface
  to python-ldap and perform conversions.

* The above 4 modifications means we've greatly reduced the
  proliferation of multiple inconsistent ways to perform LDAP
  operations. We are well on the way to having a single API in IPA for
  doing LDAP (a long range goal).

* All certificate subject bases are now DN's

* DN objects were enhanced thusly:
  - find, rfind, index, rindex, replace and insert methods were added
  - AVA, RDN and DN classes were refactored in immutable and mutable
    variants, the mutable variants are EditableAVA, EditableRDN and
    EditableDN. By default we use the immutable variants preserving
    important semantics. To edit a DN cast it to an EditableDN and
    cast it back to DN when done editing. These issues are fully
    described in other documentation.
  - first_key_match was removed
  - DN equalty comparison permits comparison to a basestring

* Fixed ldapupdate to work with DN's. This work included:
  - Enhance test_updates.py to do more checking after applying
    update. Add test for update_from_dict(). Convert code to use
    unittest classes.
  - Consolidated duplicate code.
  - Moved code which should have been in the class into the class.
  - Fix the handling of the 'deleteentry' update action. It's no longer
    necessary to supply fake attributes to make it work. Detect case
    where subsequent update applies a change to entry previously marked
    for deletetion. General clean-up and simplification of the
    'deleteentry' logic.
  - Rewrote a couple of functions to be clearer and more Pythonic.
  - Added documentation on the data structure being used.
  - Simplfy the use of update_from_dict()

* Removed all usage of get_schema() which was being called prior to
  accessing the .schema attribute of an object. If a class is using
  internal lazy loading as an optimization it's not right to require
  users of the interface to be aware of internal
  optimization's. schema is now a property and when the schema
  property is accessed it calls a private internal method to perform
  the lazy loading.

* Added SchemaCache class to cache the schema's from individual
  servers. This was done because of the observation we talk to
  different LDAP servers, each of which may have it's own
  schema. Previously we globally cached the schema from the first
  server we connected to and returned that schema in all contexts. The
  cache includes controls to invalidate it thus forcing a schema
  refresh.

* Schema caching is now senstive to the run time context. During
  install and upgrade the schema can change leading to errors due to
  out-of-date cached schema. The schema cache is refreshed in these
  contexts.

* We are aware of the LDAP syntax of all LDAP attributes. Every
  attribute returned from an LDAP operation is passed through a
  central table look-up based on it's LDAP syntax. The table key is
  the LDAP syntax it's value is a Python callable that returns a
  Python object matching the LDAP syntax. There are a handful of LDAP
  attributes whose syntax is historically incorrect
  (e.g. DistguishedNames that are defined as DirectoryStrings). The
  table driven conversion mechanism is augmented with a table of
  hard coded exceptions.

  Currently only the following conversions occur via the table:

  - dn's are converted to DN objects

  - binary objects are converted to Python str objects (IPA
    convention).

  - everything else is converted to unicode using UTF-8 decoding (IPA
    convention).

  However, now that the table driven conversion mechanism is in place
  it would be trivial to do things such as converting attributes
  which have LDAP integer syntax into a Python integer, etc.

* Expected values in the unit tests which are a DN no longer need to
  use lambda expressions to promote the returned value to a DN for
  equality comparison. The return value is automatically promoted to
  a DN. The lambda expressions have been removed making the code much
  simpler and easier to read.

* Add class level logging to a number of classes which did not support
  logging, less need for use of root_logger.

* Remove ipaserver/conn.py, it was unused.

* Consolidated duplicate code wherever it was found.

* Fixed many places that used string concatenation to form a new
  string rather than string formatting operators. This is necessary
  because string formatting converts it's arguments to a string prior
  to building the result string. You can't concatenate a string and a
  non-string.

* Simplify logic in rename_managed plugin. Use DN operators to edit
  dn's.

* The live version of ipa-ldap-updater did not generate a log file.
  The offline version did, now both do.

03837bfd6d Use certmonger to renew CA subsystem certificates
Certificate renewal can be done only one one CA as the certificates need
to be shared amongst them. certmonger has been trained to communicate
directly with dogtag to perform the renewals. The initial CA installation
is the defacto certificate renewal master.

A copy of the certificate is stored in the IPA LDAP tree in
cn=ca_renewal,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$SUFFIX, the rdn being the nickname of the
certificate, when a certificate is renewed. Only the most current
certificate is stored. It is valid to have no certificates there, it means
that no renewals have taken place.

The clones are configured with a new certmonger CA type that polls this
location in the IPA tree looking for an updated certificate. If one is
not found then certmonger is put into the CA_WORKING state and will poll
every 8 hours until an updated certificate is available.

The RA agent certificate, ipaCert in /etc/httpd/alias, is a special case.
When this certificate is updated we also need to update its entry in
the dogtag tree, adding the updated certificate and telling dogtag which
certificate to use. This is the certificate that lets IPA issue
certificates.

On upgrades we check to see if the certificate tracking is already in
place. If not then we need to determine if this is the master that will
do the renewals or not. This decision is made based on whether it was
the first master installed. It is concievable that this master is no
longer available meaning that none are actually tracking renewal. We
will need to document this.
