Feature #6029: Provide puppetca option to renew CAcert and propagate to clients.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6029

Author: Nick Moffitt
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: SSL
Target version: Telly
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: puppetca ca ca.pem crl.pem cert ssl renew
Branch: 


I noticed while setting up a puppet master that the CA cert it generates has an 
expiration date five years in the future.  This fact came at about the time 
that I realized I'd been in charge of a particular set of systems for five 
years myself, and that timescale suddenly appeared more personally finite to me.

What would be helpful is to have some kind of puppetca command that can 
generate a new CA Cert, sign it with the old one, and somehow make use of the 
web of trust to deploy it (and perhaps an updated CRL, if necessary) to every 
client.

This would help when, four and a half years down the line, you realize it's 
getting time to think about renewing that cert.
