- 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
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
