This decision used the api object, which might not be available
in installer code. Move the decision to callers.
Part of the work for: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2660
dogtag opens its NSS database in read/write mode so we need to be very
careful during renewal that we don't also open it up read/write. We
basically need to serialize access to the database. certmonger does the
majority of this work via internal locking from the point where it generates
a new key/submits a rewewal through the pre_save and releases the lock after
the post_save command. This lock is held per NSS database so we're save
from certmonger. dogtag needs to be shutdown in the pre_save state so
certmonger can safely add the certificate and we can manipulate trust
in the post_save command.
Fix a number of bugs in renewal. The CA wasn't actually being restarted
at all due to a naming change upstream. In python we need to reference
services using python-ish names but the service is pki-cad. We need a
translation for non-Fedora systems as well.
Update the CA ou=People entry when he CA subsystem certificate is
renewed. This certificate is used as an identity certificate to bind
to the DS instance.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3292https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3322
IPA installer sometimes tries to connect to the Directory Server
via loopback address 127.0.0.1. However, the Directory Server on
pure IPv6 systems may not be listening on this address. This address
may not even be available.
Rather use the FQDN of the server when connecting to the DS to fix
this issue and make the connection consistent ldapmodify calls which
also use FQDN instead of IP address.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3355
The configuration code has been modified to use the ConfigParser to
set the parameters in the CA section in the deployment configuration.
This allows IPA to define additional PKI subsystems in the same
configuration file.
PKI Ticket #399 (https://fedorahosted.org/pki/ticket/399)
Modify the default IPA CA certificate profile to include CRL and
OCSP extensions which will add URIs to IPA CRL&OCSP to published
certificates.
Both CRL and OCSP extensions have 2 URIs, one pointing directly to
the IPA CA which published the certificate and one to a new CNAME
ipa-ca.$DOMAIN which was introduced as a general CNAME pointing
to all IPA replicas which have CA configured.
The new CNAME is added either during new IPA server/replica/CA
installation or during upgrade.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3074https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1431
Stopping certificate tracking was done as part of the PKI DS uninstall.
Since with the merged DB, thePKI DS is not used any more, this step
was skipped.
Move certificate untracking to a separate step and call it separately.
Also, the post-uninstall check for tracked certificates used the wrong
set of Dogtag constants. Fix the issue.
The new merged database will replicate with both the IPA and CA trees, so all
DS instances (IPA and CA on the existing master, and the merged one on the
replica) need to have the same schema.
Dogtag does all its schema modifications online. Those are replicated normally.
The basic IPA schema, however, is delivered in ldif files, which are not
replicated. The files are not present on old CA DS instances. Any schema
update that references objects in these files will fail.
The whole 99user.ldif (i.e. changes introduced dynamically over LDAP) is
replicated as a blob. If we updated the old master's CA schema dynamically
during replica install, it would conflict with updates done during the
installation: the one with the lower CSN would get lost.
Dogtag's spawn script recently grew a new flag, 'pki_clone_replicate_schema'.
Turning it off tells Dogtag to create its schema in the clone, where the IPA
modifications are taking place, so that it is not overwritten by the IPA schema
on replication.
The patch solves the problems by:
- In __spawn_instance, turning off the pki_clone_replicate_schema flag.
- Providing a script to copy the IPA schema files to the CA DS instance.
The script needs to be copied to old masters and run there.
- At replica CA install, checking if the schema is updated, and failing if not.
The --skip-schema-check option is added to ipa-{replica,ca}-install to
override the check.
All pre-3.1 CA servers in a domain will have to have the script run on them to
avoid schema replication errors.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3213
New servers that are installed with dogtag 10 instances will use
a single database instance for dogtag and IPA, albeit with different
suffixes. Dogtag will communicate with the instance through a
database user with permissions to modify the dogtag suffix only.
This user will authenticate using client auth using the subsystem cert
for the instance.
This patch includes changes to allow the creation of masters and clones
with single ds instances.
- Provide a function for determinig the CA status using Dogtag 10's new
getStatus endpoint.
This must be done over HTTPS, but since our client certificate may not be set
up yet, we need HTTPS without client authentication.
Rather than copying from the existing http_request and https_request
function, shared code is factored out to a common helper.
- Call the new function when restarting the CA service. Since our Service
can only be extended in platform-specific code, do this for Fedora only.
Also, the status is only checked with Dogtag 10+.
- When a restart call in cainstance failed, users were refered to the
installation log, but no info was actually logged. Log the exception.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3084
Forces more consistency into ipa-server-install output. All
descriptions of services that are not instances of
SimpleServiceInstance are now in the following format:
<Description> (<Service Name>)
Furthermore, start_creation method has been modified to support
custom start and end messages. See documentation for more info.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3059
Any installed clones will have CRL generation explicitly disabled.
It is a manual process to make a different CA the CRL generator.
There should be only one.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3051
The initial certificate is issued for two years but renewals are
for six months for some reason. This fixes it for new and updated
IPA installs.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2951
Currently, CRL files are being exported to /var/lib/pki-ca
sub-directory, which is then served by httpd to clients. However,
this approach has several disadvantages:
* We depend on pki-ca directory structure and relevant permissions.
If pki-ca changes directory structure or permissions on upgrade,
IPA may break. This is also a root cause of the latest error, where
the pki-ca directory does not have X permission for others and CRL
publishing by httpd breaks.
* Since the directory is not static and is generated during
ipa-server-install, RPM upgrade of IPA packages report errors when
defining SELinux policy for these directories.
Move CRL publish directory to /var/lib/ipa/pki-ca/publish (common for
both dogtag 9 and 10) which is created on RPM upgrade, i.e. SELinux policy
configuration does not report any error. The new CRL publish directory
is used for both new IPA installs and upgrades, where contents of
the directory (CRLs) is first migrated to the new location and then the
actual configuration change is made.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3144
Put the changes from Ade's dogtag 10 patch into namespaced constants in
dogtag.py, which are then referenced in the code.
Make ipaserver.install.CAInstance use the service name specified in the
configuration. Uninstallation, where config is removed before CA uninstall,
also uses the (previously) configured value.
This and Ade's patch address https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2846
Dogtag 10 uses a new installer, new directory layout and new default
ports. This patch changes the ipa install code to integrate these changes.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2846
The restart_dirsrv script wasn't initializing the api so the
startup_timeout wasn't available.
The subsystemCert cert-pki-ca definition was missing so we didn't
know which certificate to update in CS.cfg.
Add some documentation and a pause between restarts for the
renew_ca_cert script so that when the CA subsystem certs are renewed
they don't all try to restart the CA at the same time.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3006
* 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.

When setting up AD trusts support, ipa-adtrust-install utility
needs to be run as:
- root, for performing Samba configuration and using LDAPI/autobind
- kinit-ed IPA admin user, to ensure proper ACIs are granted to
fetch keytab
As result, we can get rid of Directory Manager credentials in ipa-adtrust-install
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2815
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.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2803
All service start/restart currently go through ipapython/platform so
move the "wait for service to start" code there as well.
A dictionary of known services and ports to wait on is defined in base.py
This is referenced by the platforms by instance name to determine what
to wait for. For the case of dirsrv if we get that as a plain name
(no specific instance) it is assumed to be the main IPA service.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2375https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2610
IPA has some unused code from abandoned features (Radius, ipa 1.x user
input, commant-line tab completion), as well as some duplicate utilities.
This patch cleans up the utility modules.
Duplicate code consolidated into ipapython.ipautil:
{ipalib.util,ipaserver.ipautil,ipapython.ipautil}.realm_to_suffix
{ipaserver,ipapython}.ipautil.CIDict
(with style improvements from the ipaserver version)
{ipapython.entity,ipaserver.ipautil}.utf8_encode_value
{ipapython.entity,ipaserver.ipautil}.utf8_encode_values
ipalib.util.get_fqdn was removed in favor of the same function in
ipaserver.install.installutils
Removed unused code:
ipalib.util:
load_plugins_in_dir
import_plugins_subpackage
make_repr (was imported but unused; also removed from tests)
ipapython.ipautil:
format_list
parse_key_value_pairs
read_pairs_file
read_items_file
user_input_plain
AttributeValueCompleter
ItemCompleter
ipaserver.ipautil:
get_gsserror (a different version exists in ipapython.ipautil)
ipaserver.ipautil ended up empty and is removed entirely.

We don't need to do anything with the state but if it exists in
the sysrestore index at the end of uninstallation the uninstaller will
complain about it.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2637
Ticket #2502
* remove the "running" flag from backup_state in cainstance.py and
dsinstance.py because it does not provide the correct
information. In cainstance the running flag was never referenced
because restarting dirsrv instances occurs later in dsinstance. In
dsinstance when the running flag is set it incorrectly identifed the
PKI ds instance configured earlier by cainstance. The intent was to
determine if there were any ds instances other than those owned by
IPA which will need to be restarted upon uninstall. Clearly the PKI
ds instance does not qualify. We were generating a traceback when at
the conclusion of dsinstance.uninstall we tried to start the
remaining ds instances as indicated by the running flag, but there
were none to restart (because the running flag had been set as a
consequence of the PKI ds instance).
* We only want to restart ds instances if there are other ds instances
besides those owned by IPA. We shouldn't be stopping all ds
instances either, but that's going to be covered by another
ticket. The fix for restarting other ds instances at the end of
uninstall is to check and see if there are other ds instances
remaining after we've removed ours, if so we restart them. Also it's
irrelevant if those ds instances were not present when we installed,
it only matters if they exist after we restore things during
uninstall. If they are present we have to start them back up because
we shut them down during uninstall.
* Add new function get_ds_instances() which returns a list of existing
ds instances.
* fixed error messages that incorrectly stated it "failed to restart"
a ds instance when it should be "failed to create".
This will add it on upgrades too and any new certs issued will have
a subject key identifier set.
If the user has customized the profile themselves then this won't be
applied.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2446
We don't want to run the risk of adding a user, uninstalling it,
the system adding a new user (for another package install for example)
and then re-installing IPA. This wreaks havoc with file and directory
ownership.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2423
I noticed a couple of bad references in ipapython/dogtag.py and
fixed those as well. We used to call sslget for all our SSL client
needs before python-nss was written.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2391
For some reason lost to history the sub_dict in dsinstance and
cainstance used FQHN instead of FQDN. This made upgrade scripts not
work reliably as the variable might be different depending on context.
Use FQDN universally instead.
change default_logger_level to debug in configure_standard_logging
add new ipa_log_manager module, move log_mgr there, also export
root_logger from log_mgr.
change all log_manager imports to ipa_log_manager and change
log_manager.root_logger to root_logger.
add missing import for parse_log_level()
Dogtag is going to be proxied through httpd. To make this work, it has to support renegotiation of the SSL
connection. This patch enables renegotiate in the nss configuration file during during apache configuration,
as well as modifies libnss to set the appropriate optins on the ssl connection in order to renegotiate.
The IPA install uses the internal ports instead of proxying through
httpd since httpd is not set up yet.
IPA needs to Request the certificate through a port that uses authentication. On the Dogtag side, they provide an additional mapping for this: /ca/eeca/ca as opposed tp /ca/ee/ca just for this purpose.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1334
add flag to pkicreate in order to enable using proxy.

Ade Lee from the dogtag team looked at the configuration code and
determined that a number of restarts were not needed and recommended
re-arranging other code to reduce the number of restarts to one.

The old nickname was 'RA Subsystem' and this may confuse some users
with the dogtag RA subsystem which we do not use.
This will only affect new installs. Existing installations will
continue to work fine.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1236
There were a few places in the code where certs were loaded from a
PKCS#7 file or a chain in a PEM file. The certificates got very
generic nicknames.
We can instead pull the subject from the certificate and use that as
the nickname.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1141
When a replica for self-signed server is being installed, the
installer crashes with "Not a dogtag CA installation". Make sure
that installation is handled correctly for both dogtag and
self-signed replicas.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1479
A dogtag replica file is created as usual. When the replica is installed
dogtag is optional and not installed by default. Adding the --setup-ca
option will configure it when the replica is installed.
A new tool ipa-ca-install will configure dogtag if it wasn't configured
when the replica was initially installed.
This moves a fair bit of code out of ipa-replica-install into
installutils and cainstance to avoid duplication.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1251
The hostname is passed in during the server installation. We should use
this hostname for the resulting server as well. It was being discarded
and we always used the system hostname value.
Important changes:
- configure ipa_hostname in sssd on masters
- set PKI_HOSTNAME so the hostname is passed to dogtag installer
- set the hostname when doing ldapi binds
This also reorders some things in the dogtag installer to eliminate an
unnecessary restart. We were restarting the service twice in a row with
very little time in between and this could result in a slew of reported
errors, though the server installed ok.
ticket 1052
For the most part certificates will be treated as being in DER format.
When we load a certificate we will generally accept it in any format but
will convert it to DER before proceeding in normalize_certificate().
This also re-arranges a bit of code to pull some certificate-specific
functions out of ipalib/plugins/service.py into ipalib/x509.py.
This also tries to use variable names to indicate what format the certificate
is in at any given point:
dercert: DER
cert: PEM
nsscert: a python-nss Certificate object
rawcert: unknown format

When re-creating the CADS instance it needs to be more fully-populated

Since selinux-policy-3.9.16-5.fc15 is out, the dogtag port 7390 is
handled via selinux-policy and there is no need to manage it in
FreeIPA installer.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1205
When Directory Server operation is run right after the server restart
the listening ports may not be opened yet. This makes the installation
fail.
This patch fixes this issue by waiting for both secure and insecure
Directory Server ports to open after every restart.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1076
This fixes 2 AVCS:
* One because we are enabling port 7390 because an SSL port must be
defined to use TLS On 7389.
* We were symlinking to the main IPA 389-ds NSS certificate databsae.
Instead generate a separate NSS database and certificate and have
certmonger track it separately
I also noticed some variable inconsistency in cainstance.py. Everywhere
else we use self.fqdn and that was using self.host_name. I found it
confusing so I fixed it.
ticket 1085
Configure the dogtag 389-ds instance with SSL so we can enable TLS
for the dogtag replication agreements. The NSS database we use is a
symbolic link to the IPA 389-ds instance.
ticket 1060
The group is now required because 389-ds has tightened the permissions
on /var/run/dirsrv. We use the same group for both our LDAP instances
and /var/run/dirsrv ends up as root:dirsrv mode 0770.
ticket 1010
There wasn't an exception in the "is the server already installed"
check for a two-stage CA installation.
Made the installer slightly more robust. We create a cache file of
answers so the next run won't ask all the questions again. This cache
is removed when the installation is complete. Previously nothing would work
if the installer was run more than once, this should be fixed now.
The cache is encrypted using the DM password.
The second problem is that the tomcat6 init script returns control
before the web apps are up. Add a small loop in our restart method
to wait for the 9180 port to be available.
This also adds an additional restart to ensure that nonces are disabled.
ticket 835

Also remove the option to choose a user.
It is silly to keep it, when you can't choose the group nor the CA
directory user.

Do not call status after pkisilent, it will return non-zero.
Instead restart server after pkisilent so configuration

The changes include:

* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)

The CA is installed before DS so we need to wait until DS is actually installed
to be able to ldap_enable the CA instance.

This replaces the old no logging mechanism that only handled not logging
passwords passed on the command-line. The dogtag installer was including
passwords in the output.
This also adds no password logging to the sslget invocations and removes
a couple of extraneous log commands.

Installing dogtag is quite slow and it isn't always clear that things
are working. This breaks out some restart calls into separate steps

more than a minute (pkicreate and pkisilent).

Update a bunch of minimum required versions in the spec file.
tickets 139 (time) and 144 (key_algorithm)
This causes the installation to blow up badly otherwise.
To remove an existing instance run:
# pkiremove -pki_instance_root=/var/lib -pki_instance_name=pki-ca
I couldn't put the dogtag rules into the spec file until we required
dogtag as a component. If it wasn't pre-loaded them the rules loading
would fail because types would be missing.
We have had a state file for quite some time that is used to return
the system to its pre-install state. We can use that to determine what
has been configured.
This patch:
- uses the state file to determine if dogtag was installed
- prevents someone from trying to re-install an installed server
- displays some output when uninstalling
- re-arranges the ipa_kpasswd installation so the state is properly saved
- removes pkiuser if it was added by the installer
- fetches and installs the CA on both masters and clients
- cache all interactive answers
- set non-interactive to True for the second run so nothing is asked
- convert boolean values that are read in
- require absolute paths for the external CA and signed cert files
- fix the invocation message for the second ipa-server-install run
We set a new port to be used with dogtag but IPA doesn't utilize it.
This also changes the way we determine which security database to use.
Rather than using whether api.env.home is set use api.env.in_tree.
Also print out a restart message after applying the custom subject.
It takes a while to restart dogtag and this lets the user know things
are moving forward.
NSS is going to disallow all SSL renegotiation by default. Because of
this we need to always use the agent port of the dogtag server which
always requires SSL client authentication. The end user port will
prompt for a certificate if required but will attempt to re-do the
handshake to make this happen which will fail with newer versions of NSS.
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.
Also properly use the instance name where appropriate. There were a
couple of places where the service name was used and this worked because
they were the same.
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.
This policy should really be provided by dogtag. We don't want
to grant read/write access to everything dogtag can handle so we
change the context to cert_t instead. But we have to let dogtag
read/write that too hence this policy.
To top it off we can't load this policy unless dogtag is also loaded
so we insert it in the IPA installer
Installing a CA that is signed by another CA is a 2-step process. The first
step is to generate a CSR for the CA and the second step is to install
the certificate issued by the external CA. To avoid asking questions
over and over (and potentially getting different answers) the answers
are cached.
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 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.
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
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
