Issue #21029 has been updated by Charlie Sharpsteen.
I should also mention that Puppet 3.2.1 introduced support for plugging into external CA systems. This feature could be used to sidestep the problem at hand. A guide to supported CA configurations and how to set them up can be found here: <http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/config_ssl_external_ca.html> ---------------------------------------- Feature #21029: Allow control over the digest used to create CA certificates https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21029#change-92635 * Author: Jan Örnstedt * Status: Accepted * Priority: Low * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.2.1 * Keywords: sha256 openssl digest solaris * Branch: ---------------------------------------- If the puppet master uses SHA256 as digest on the CA cert then agents with older versions of openssl will not be able to verify the CA Cert. Making it impossible for OS such as Solaris 10 to connect to a master running on Solaris 11. So far have I not found any method of downreving digest algorithm to SHA1 except for reissue the certs with openssl directly. <pre> Master: # digest -a md5 ca.pem agent.pem (ca.pem) = 4a5e69cec9a9f8c39fd6b160b5cbea8c (agent.pem) = 559cb7ddf565340ddf802670cc68cf53 # openssl verify -CAfile ca.pem agent.pem agent.pem: OK # openssl x509 -text -noout -in ca.pem | grep Signature Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption # openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.0j 10 May 2012 Agent: # digest -a md5 ca.pem agent.pem (ca.pem) = 4a5e69cec9a9f8c39fd6b160b5cbea8c (agent.pem) = 559cb7ddf565340ddf802670cc68cf53 # openssl verify -CAfile ca.pem agent.pem agent.pem: /CN=agent error 7 at 0 depth lookup:certificate signature failure # openssl x509 -text -noout -in ca.pem | grep Signature Signature Algorithm: 1.2.840.113549.1.1.11 Signature Algorithm: 1.2.840.113549.1.1.11 # openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
