Commit 49cf5ec64b fixed a bug that
prevented migration from externally-signed to self-signed IPA CA.
But it introduced a subtle new issue: certmonger-initiated renewal
renews an externally-signed IPA CA as a self-signed CA.
To resolve this issue, introduce the `--force-self-signed' flag for
the dogtag-ipa-ca-renew-agent script. Add another certmonger CA
definition that calls this script with the `--force-self-signed'
flag. Update dogtag-ipa-ca-renew-agent to only issue a self-signed
CA certificate if the existing certificate is self-signed or if
`--force-self-signed' was given. Update `ipa-cacert-manage renew'
to supply `--force-self-signed' when appropriate.
As a result of these changes, certmonger-initiated renewal of an
externally-signed IPA CA certificate will not issue a self-signed
certificate.

FreeIPA Server
FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity, authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems by providing simple to install and use command line and web based management tools.
FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation of installation and configuration tasks.
FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.
Benefits
FreeIPA:
- Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials and security settings
- Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in an authenticated and secure way
- Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services and files only to specific users
- Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords, SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules
- Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users
- Integrates into Active Directory environments
Components
The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management tools for the following components:
- LDAP Server - based on the 389 project
- KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
- PKI based on Dogtag project
- Samba libraries for Active Directory integration
- DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
