This profile enables subject validation and ensures that the subject
that the CA issues is uniform. The client can only request a specific
CN, the rest of the subject is fixed.
This is the first step of allowing the subject to be set at
installation time.
Also fix 2 more issues related to the return results migration.
The idnsUpdatePolicy takes a list of BIND dynamic update policies, each
of which must be terminated by ";". Also fix a minor error in the
documentation string.
Ignore NotImplementedError when revoking a certificate as this isn't
implemented in the selfsign plugin.
Also use the new type argument in x509.load_certificate(). Certificates
are coming out of LDAP as binary instead of base64-encoding.
The pyOpenSSL PKCS#10 parser doesn't support attributes so we can't identify
requests with subject alt names.
Subject alt names are only allowed if:
- the host for the alt name exists in IPA
- if binding as host principal, the host is in the services managedBy attr
This introduces 2 new params: --setattr and --addattr
Both take a name/value pair, ala:
ipa user-mod --setattr=postalcode=20601 jsmith
--setattr replaces or sets the current attribute to the value
--addattr adds the value to an attribute (or sets a new attribute)
OptionsParser allows multiple versions of this, so you can have multiple
setattr and addattr, either for the same attribute or for different
attributes.
ipa user-mod --addattr=postalcode=20601 --addattr=postalcode=30330 jsmith
Values are silent dropped if either of these on an existing param:
ipa user-mod --setattr=givenname=Jerry jsmith
Is a no-op.
Using the client IP address was a rather poor mechanism for controlling
who could request certificates for whom. Instead the client machine will
bind using the host service principal and request the certificate.
In order to do this:
* the service will need to exist
* the machine needs to be in the certadmin rolegroup
* the host needs to be in the managedBy attribute of the service
It might look something like:
admin
ipa host-add client.example.com --password=secret123
ipa service-add HTTP/client.example.com
ipa service-add-host --hosts=client.example.com HTTP/client.example.com
ipa rolegroup-add-member --hosts=client.example.com certadmin
client
ipa-client-install
ipa-join -w secret123
kinit -kt /etc/krb5.keytab host/client.example.com
ipa -d cert-request file://web.csr --principal=HTTP/client.example.com
We want to only allow a machine to request a certificate for itself, not for
other machines. I've added a new taksgroup which will allow this.
The requesting IP is resolved and compared to the subject of the CSR to
determine if they are the same host. The same is done with the service
principal. Subject alt names are not queried yet.
This does not yet grant machines actual permission to request certificates
yet, that is still limited to the taskgroup request_certs.
Use a Class of Service template to do per-group password policy. The
design calls for non-overlapping groups but with cospriority we can
still make sense of things.
The password policy entries stored under the REALM are keyed only on
the group name because the MIT ldap plugin can't handle quotes in the
DN. It also can't handle spaces between elements in the DN.
- The aci plugin didn't quite work with the new ldap2 backend.
- We already walk through the target part of the ACI syntax so skip that
in the regex altogether. This now lets us handle all current ACIs in IPA
(some used to be ignored/skipped)
- Add support for user groups so one can do v1-style delegation (group A
can write attributes x,y,z in group B). It is actually quite a lot more
flexible than that but you get the idea)
- Improve error messages in the aci library
- Add a bit of documentation to the aci plugin
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())
Also, member attributes are now mapped to 'member user', 'member group',
etc. instead of 'member users', 'member groups'. In other words,
the second word is now taken from LDAPObject.object_name instead of
LDAPObject.object_name_plural.
