Hi all,
I have the problem to install FreeIPA 4.2.0-15.0.1.el7_2.17.x86_64 with
External CA as the Root CA. Here are details.
1) Run "ipa-server-install --external-ca", and send .csr to be signed by
External CA, but VeriSign rejects signing this since info like
Organization, OU, L, ST, C are missing.
I seriously doubt Verisign will issue this certificate regardless of
format. Don't confuse a CA signing certificate with a server certificate.
But who knows. Try the --subject-base option to ipa-server-install but
note that the CN is currently unconfigurable, it will always be
cn=Certificate Authority.
2) Okay, so I try this workaround, create cert request manually with
command:
# certutil -R -d /tmp -a -g 2048 -s
'CN=<fqdn>,OU=<some-ou>,O=<company>,L=<town>,ST=California,C=US'
This will never work. Besides the fact that you didn't request a
certificate with the right CA extensions, the private key that generated
the CSR is now in a place that dogtag will never find it. This is
unrelated to the error below but it would blow up eventually.
3) I verify request via
https://cryptoreport.websecurity.symantec.com/checker/views/csrCheck.jsp
(looks good)
4) Now VeriSign accepts .csr and I receive the certificate (.cer file)
via email.
5) I also download two additional certs for trust chain, one is
VeriSign's public primary root CA and the second one is Company's
itermediate CA, both (.pem files)
6) Now the problem begins, run the comamnd:
# ipa-server-install --external-cert-file=/tmp/freeipa.cer
--external-cert-file=/tmp/Company_CA_G2.pem
--external-cert-file=/tmp/VeriSign_Root_CA.pem -vv
If memory serves IPA knows what the subject of it's CA should look like
(remember subject-base?) and it isn't finding it and blowing up.
