Hi all,
 
For a project we want to use FreeIPA with external CA.
We are using v4.6.6 on centos7.8.
 
The guides instruct to use command ”ipa-server-install --external-ca”, get the 
CSR and run the install command again using the signed certificate.
 
Issue 1: key length is 2048
Fix: Found that this can be changed in file
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipaserver/install/cainstance.py
Add under:
  # CA key algorithm
 #  config.set("CA", "pki_ca_signing_key_size", 4096)
 
Issue 2: Subject DN
The subject on the certificate request is
“CN=Certificate Authority,O=[realm]”
but the root-ca requires us to have in the format:
CN=FREEIPA 2020,serialNumber=XxXx,O=xxx,C=XX

Q: Is it possible to install the FreeIPA server using the external root-ca and 
a signed certificate from the beginning? (csr created outside 
ipa-server-install command)
 
Q: Is it possible to alter the information on the certificate request to match 
the root-ca’s requirements?
 

Thanks,
Anestis
