The packages above aren't including any additional patches related to
what you see here. They only include changes for CVE-2020-25717 which
has nothing to do with CA operations.
What happens, I suspect, is that both pki upgrade code and ipa upgrade
code triggered and pki upgrade code adds 'requiredSecret' part. IPA
upgrade code is present since FreeIPA 4.9.0, since March 2020, more than
1.5 years ago.
Ok. Piecing together the timeline, I think I have merely
reproduced https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2006070 after
all.
I have:
@ 2021-11-12 01:31
[root@ipa5 ~]# cat /var/log/pki/pki-upgrade-10.11.2.log
Upgrading PKI system configuration at Fri 12 Nov 01:31:11 UTC 2021.
... corresponds with the upgrade of pki-base-10.10.5-
3.module+el8.4.0+11039+635979e4.noarch -> pki-base-10.11.2-
2.module+el8.5.0+12735+8eb38ccc.noarch.
This upgrade modified server.xml, replacing requiredSecret="oldSecret"
with secret="oldSecret".
Per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2006070 this should not
have happened. Because it breaks the assumption in ipa-server-upgrade
that Tomcat >= 0.9.31.0 performs this replacement.
@ 2021-12-16 09:33
This is the upgrade where ipa-server-upgrade ran, which added
requiredSecret="newSecret" to server.xml which broke (communication
with) the CA subsystem.
Looking through
https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/blob/56e4f33ce630a6a310518f25b67d46fb31f7919e/ipaserver/install/dogtaginstance.py#L351
... 'tomcat version' would have been 9.0.30.0, so secretattr and
oldattr would both be 'requiredSecret'; since, at this time, server.xml
did not have a requiredSecret=, only a secret=, the code code generated
a new secret and set it as the value of a new requiredSecret=
attribute.
Phew, that took some digging!
As for the fix I made to server.xml, it would just be reverted by ipa-
server-upgrade, until the fixed pki-base is installed.
May be we need to fix our logic when checking the connectors now.
Needless to say, this is not reproducible in Fedora which already has
both newer PKI and newer IPA.
