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())
If the DNS zones already exist but don't contain our own records, add
them. This patch introduces the ipalib.api into the installers. For now,
the code is still little messy. Later patches will abandon the way we
create zones now and use ipalib.api exclusively.
BIND starting before we apply LDAP updates and restart kdc and directory
server causes trouble. We resolve this for now by postponing BIND setup
to the end of installation. Another reason is that we will be using
xml-rpc during the setup in the future.
This patch adds options --forwarder and --no-forwarders. At least one of
them must be used if you are doing a setup with DNS server. They are
also mutually exclusive. The --forwarder option can be used more than
once to specify more servers. If the installer runs in interactive mode,
it will prompt the user if none of these option was given at the command
line.
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 $UIDSTART+1. If any errors occur during the evaluation
the original string is is returned, eval() and all so it is up to the
developer to make sure the evaluation passes.
The default value for uid and gid is now a random value between
1,000,000 and (2^31 - 1,000,000)
If you don't want to use ldapi then you can remove the ldap_uri setting
in /etc/ipa/default.conf. The default for the framework is to use
ldap://localhost:389/
ipaObject is defined as an auxiliary objectclass so it is up to the
plugin author to ensure that the objectclass is included an a UUID generated.
ipaUniqueId is a MUST attribute so if you include the objectclass you must
ensure that the uuid is generated.
This also fixes up some unrelated unit test failures.
The ipa-replica-install script will setup the DNS if user specifies the
--setup-dns option. It will only add the zone into LDAP if the
cn=dns,$SUFFIX container doesn't exist. For now, however, we do not add
the records.
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.
There are some operations, like those for the certificate system, that
don't need to write to the directory server. So instead we have an entry
that we test against to determine whether the operation is allowed or not.
This is done by attempting a write on the entry. If it would succeed then
permission is granted. If not then denied. The write we attempt is actually
invalid so the write itself will fail but the attempt will fail first if
access is not permitted, so we can distinguish between the two without
polluting the entry.
Also moves delagation layout installation in dsinstance.
This is needed to allow us to set default membership in
other modules like bindinstance.

Removes two unneeded attributes and adds one attribute for specifying
DNS update policy. Additionally, use different namespace for them: 5.x
for attribute types and 6.x for object classes.
If we use cn for hostname there is no easy way to distinguish between
a host and a hostgroup. So adding a fqdn attribute to be used to store
the hostname instead.
Use the requestId we get back from the CA when requesting the RA agent cert
and use that to issue the certificate rather than hardcoding 7.
This also adds some clean-up of file permissions and leaking fds
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
Once this is committed we can start the process of renaming errors2 as errors.
I thought that combinig this into one commit would be more difficult to
review.
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
This adds:
group administration
host administration
host group administration
delegation administration
service administration
automount administration
netgroup administration
Role groups will be part of the ACI system. It will let one create broad
categories of permissions. Things like: helpdesk, user admin, group admin,
whatever.
This change depends on DS bugs 487574 and 487725. Groups cannot be
promoted properly without these fixed. It will fail with an
Object Class violation because gidNumber isn't set.
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.
