Let the user, upon installation, set the certificate subject base
for the dogtag CA. Certificate requests will automatically be given
this subject base, regardless of what is in the CSR.
The selfsign plugin does not currently support this dynamic name
re-assignment and will reject any incoming requests that don't
conform to the subject base.
The certificate subject base is stored in cn=ipaconfig but it does
NOT dynamically update the configuration, for dogtag at least. The
file /var/lib/pki-ca/profiles/ca/caIPAserviceCert.cfg would need to
be updated and pki-cad restarted.
We use kadmin.local to bootstrap the creation of the kerberos principals
for the IPA server machine: host, HTTP and ldap. This works fine and has
the side-effect of protecting the services from modification by an
admin (which would likely break the server).
Unfortunately this also means that the services can't be managed by useful
utilities such as certmonger. So we have to create them as "real" services
instead.
There are times where a caller will want to determine the course of
action based on the returncode instead of relying on it != 0.
This also lets the caller get the contents of stdout and stderr.
The CA was moved from residing in the DS NSS database into the Apache
database to support a self-signed CA certificate plugin. This was not
updated in the installer boilerplate.
The DS db wasn't getting a password set on it. Go ahead and set one.
We have to replace 05rfc2247.ldif because it contains some conflicting
attributes with DNS in some older versions of 389-DS/RHDS. This fails on
some newer versions of 389-DS/RHDS so this lets it continue installing
if the new file is not needed.
This will create a host service principal and may create a host entry (for
admins). A keytab will be generated, by default in /etc/krb5.keytab
If no kerberos credentails are available then enrollment over LDAPS is used
if a password is provided.
This change requires that openldap be used as our C LDAP client. It is much
easier to do SSL using openldap than mozldap (no certdb required). Otherwise
we'd have to write a slew of extra code to create a temporary cert database,
import the CA cert, ...
External CA signing is a 2-step process. You first have to run the IPA
installer which will generate a CSR. You pass this CSR to your external
CA and get back a cert. You then pass this cert and the CA cert and
re-run the installer. The CSR is always written to /root/ipa.csr.
A run would look like:
# ipa-server-install --ca --external-ca -p password -a password -r EXAMPLE.COM -u dirsrv -n example.com --hostname=ipa.example.com -U
[ sign cert request ]
# ipa-server-install --ca --external-ca -p password -a password --external_cert_file=/tmp/rob.crt --external_ca_file=/tmp/cacert.crt -U -p password -a password -r EXAMPLE.COM -u dirsrv -n example.com --hostname=ipa.example.com
This also abstracts out the RA backend plugin so the self-signed CA we
create can be used in a running server. This means that the cert plugin
can request certs (and nothing else). This should let us do online replica
creation.
To handle the self-signed CA the simple ca_serialno file now contains
additional data so we don't have overlapping serial numbers in replicas.
This isn't used yet. Currently the cert plugin will not work on self-signed
replicas.
One very important change for self-signed CAs is that the CA is no longer
held in the DS database. It is now in the Apache database.
Lots of general fixes were also made in ipaserver.install.certs including:
- better handling when multiple CA certificates are in a single file
- A temporary directory for request certs is not always created when the
class is instantiated (you have to call setup_cert_request())
This also adds a new option to the template system. If you include
eval(string) in a file that goes through the templater then the
string in the eval will be evaluated by the Python interpreter. This is
used so one can do $UIDSTART+1. If any errors occur during the evaluation
the original string is is returned, eval() and all so it is up to the
developer to make sure the evaluation passes.
The default value for uid and gid is now a random value between
1,000,000 and (2^31 - 1,000,000)
If you don't want to use ldapi then you can remove the ldap_uri setting
in /etc/ipa/default.conf. The default for the framework is to use
ldap://localhost:389/
This involves creating a new CA instance on the replica and using pkisilent
to create a clone of the master CA.
Also generally fixes IPA to work with the latest dogtag SVN tip. A lot of
changes to ports and configuration have been done recently.
Also moves delagation layout installation in dsinstance.
This is needed to allow us to set default membership in
other modules like bindinstance.

We were duplicating it for KrbInstance and DsInstance. Since we will
also need it for BindInstance as well, it will be better if it is in the
Service class instead.
Notes:
- will create a CA instance (pki-ca) if it doesn't exist
- maintains support for a self-signed CA
- A signing cert is still not created so Firefox autoconfig still won't work
The CA is currently not automatically installed. You have to pass in the
--ca flag to install it.
What works:
- installation
- unistallation
- cert/ra plugins can issue and retrieve server certs
What doesn't work:
- self-signed CA is still created and issues Apache and DS certs
- dogtag and python-nss not in rpm requires
- requires that CS be in the "pre" install state from pkicreate
Loading this via LDIF is a temporary measure until we can load it online.
This requires removing the dNSRecord declarations from 05rfc2247.ldif
so a replacement copy is included for now.
Also add the netgroups container.
I have only tested the all, rpms and *clean targets directly.
install may work but the rpm moves a lot of things around for us.
The Apache configuration file isn't in its final state but it works
with the new mod_python configuration.
