I wondered about that, but the docs specifically say public key, and
the command line option to "ipa vault-add" is "--public-key"
From "ipa vault-add --help"
--public-key=BYTES Vault public key
--public-key-file=STR File containing the vault public key
So I hope you can understand my confusion ;)
Can anyone else speak to whether the newer versions of the vault code
is any different?
Thank you, Martin!
Yeah sorry, I meant public key, private key is used for decipher.
My point was just not to use certificate.

Hello All,
I have a crazy notion of storing a host's SSH private keys in a
ipa vault, so that a rebuilt host can use the same keys.
I'm on CentOS 7.2 and I'm using the RPMs available in the
standard centos base repository, so I'm constrained to version
1.0 vaults. I'm using this page:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Password_Vault_1.0#Provisioning_service_vault_password_for_service_instance
I'm trying these following steps but running into trouble:
ipa service-add ssh/test01.dev.redacted.net
<http://test01.dev.redacted.net>
certutil -N -d testcertdb
certutil -R -d testcertdb -a -g 2048 -s
'CN=test01.dev.redacted.net
<http://test01.dev.redacted.net>,O=DEV.REDACTED.NET
<http://DEV.REDACTED.NET>'
<paste that csr into the ipa web gui>
ipa-getcert request -r -f testsshd01-cert.pem -k
testsshd01-key.pem -K
ssh/test01.dev.redacted....@dev.redacted.net
<mailto:test01.dev.redacted....@dev.redacted.net>
ipa vault-add testsshd02 --service
ssh/test01.dev.redacted....@dev.redacted.net
<mailto:test01.dev.redacted....@dev.redacted.net> --type
asymmetric --public-key-file testsshd01-cert.pem
the last command gives me "ipa: ERROR: invalid
'ipavaultpublickey': Invalid or unsupported vault public key:
Could not unserialize key data."
Is there a preferred way to create a public key for asymmetric
encryption for a service vault?
Thanks,
Anthony Clark
Hello,
I suspect you should use just private key, not certificate
