Hi Alex, I have now managed to create valid certificates after following your provided example however I do have some questions.
Firstly in my situation there are multiple proxy instances which are servicing this domain, for this reason I attempted to add two hosts to my dummy host. This part worked fine and produced the following: [11:43] root net-ipa1 ~ # ipa service-add-host HTTP/gogs.domain.net --host net-proxy1.domain.net --host net-proxy2.domain.net Principal name: HTTP/gogs.domain....@domain.net Principal alias: HTTP/gogs.domain....@domain.net Managed by: gogs.domain.net, net-proxy1.domain.net, net-proxy2.domain.net AFAIK that looks good although i am not entirely clear on how that configuration would effect FreeIPA behaviour. Following the rest of the example did not work for me however things usually don't work if I don't understand what I'm doing! Ignoring that for a second, I managed to add my CSR to the service principal via the IPA interface and the produced certificate was accepted by both proxy instances so I have achieved what i needed to. I am interested in where it all went wrong and always interested in improving my understanding of IPA itself so wanted to share the output in case you were able to provide any information! You can see the domain redacted log below: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0927d65b3e5fbb7dd7b2590a907c8196 No problem if you don't have time, thanks for helping progress my issue.
