Because I'm not sure how an acme client like acme.sh would validate itself against Dogtag on FreeIPA. This is the bit I can't find in the documentation. > Not all IPA users can create DNS records.

Or can an ACME client only be used from an enrolled host? In which case Certmonger is already available. My reason for asking is that I'm looking into whether I can use acme.sh from an appliance like VMware vCenter, which would not be an enrolled host. I've used another ACME client (dehydrated) and set it to update DNS via RFC2136 for Let's Encrypt certificates. Where the authorisation was done through the TSIG key for the DNS-01 update on the DNS server. What mechanism other than Kerberos is available to authorise ACME certificate requests from FreeIPA? Looking at things like this example which uses HTTP-01. It looks like any FreeIPA host can request a certificate as long as the DNS entry matches. However, as I type this I guess the requirement is still to have a Service Principal configured? As you can see, the more I think about this the more questions I have... - HTTP-01 auth ensures the ACME client can verify it has control of the service that hosts the FQDN for the certificate. - I assume that a Service Principal is still a requirement for an ACME client request, as it is for Certmonger requests. It is likely a stupid question, but worth asking IMHO. - DNS-01 auth, how does an ACME client signal it has the privileges required to request a certificate for the FQDN in question? I can guess, but when it comes to security I think it's best not to. _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
