Hi folks,apparently ipa-server-install (4.2) gets confused about the attribute sequence in the DNs of the certificates. If I use ipa-server-install --external-ca --subject="C=DE,O=example AG" then ipa's csr contains O=example AG, C=DE, CN=Certificate Authority The signed certificate contains C=DE, O=example AG, CN=Certificate Authority If I run ipa-server-install again to hand off the certificate chain, then the code in load_external_cert() (installutils.py) sees ca_subject = "CN=Certificate Authority,C=DE,O=example AG" subject = "CN=Certificate Authority,O=example AG,C=DE" : if subject == ca_subject: ca_nickname = nickname : if ca_nickname is None: raise ScriptError("IPA CA certificate not found in %s" % (", ".join(files))) The strings don't match and the certificate chain is rejected, even though it is valid. Please check https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-7.1 for reference. Can anybody reproduce this? What would you suggest to convince ipa 4.2 to accept valid certificate chains?
Could you please file a bug about it? -- / Alexander Bokovoy -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
