[Freeipa-devel] CA name constrains

2013-02-27 Thread Petr Spacek

Hello list,

during our last meeting with Simo we discussed support for name constraint 
extension in CA certificates and clients.


The Name Constraints Extensions is defined here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.2.1.10

Following article could be interesting for you if you like longer stories:
Mozilla changes policy to limit risk of subordinate CA certificate abuse

http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=8C9E7CFA-0E65-24B0-1539C891C8F4C09B

If I remember correctly, questions were mainly about support on client side 
and about implications for older clients.

I had a chat with Kai Engert (in CC) at DevConf.cz about this, we'll try
to work on this as time permits.
NSS seem to support this extension but so far we do not have tests
covering it apparently.

Simo.
