I discussed this problem once before and got partial answers but I would
like to finally resolve it.
Scenario:
1. Install IPA without a CA, according to section 2.3.6 as of now in
latest RHEL7 Linux Domain Identity, Authentication and Policy Guide.
2. Install a client and note certificates it receives from IPA LDAP.
3. Near expiration term obtain a new set of certificates (server and
intermediate), note that intermediate certificate common name has changed.
4. run "ipa-server-certinstall -d -w key cert" to update all
certificates. command asks for directory manager password, I suppose it
should update its contents but
5. Install another client and observe that it receives original
certificates and no ipa command works.
6. ipa-certupdate, when run, pulls original set from LDAP as if nothing
was updated.
Workaround is to manually install new intermediate certificate on all
systems /etc/ipa/nssdb by
certutil -d /etc/ipa/nssdb/ -A -n "StartCom Class 1 DV Server CA -
StartCom Ltd." -t C,, -i /tmp/1_Intermediate.crt
In LDAP under cn=certificates,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=org I still
see previous version of intermediate certificate with a different common
name:
StartCom Class 1 Primary Intermediate Server CA,OU=Secure Digital
Certificate Signing,O=StartCom Ltd.,C=IL
Please help me replace it by any means.
Best Regards,
Josh.
Hi Josh,
As you write that "intermediate certificate common name has changed", I
assume that the intermediate CA providing the new server certificates is
different. In this case, the command ipa-cacert-manage install must be
run to install the new intermediate CA *before* ipa-server-certinstall
is run to install the new server certificates.
Please refer to Installing a CA Certificate Manually [1] or Using 3rd
part certificates for HTTP/LDAP [2]. Do not forget to run ipa-certupdate
on all the IPA servers/clients in order to install the new intermediate
CA cert.
HTH,
Flo.
