I would be interested into trying this.

1/ Is there a list of the "environment variables" (I guess these are HTML headers) that dogtag needs ? Did not find it....

2/ If I set an Apache reverse proxy, do I still need to insert an admin certificate in the browser's wallet ?

Thanks !

There's a proposal for GSS-API auth:

However, it isn't implemented yet. This would probably suffice for
SSO though.

Although the design doc is called GSS-API Authentication, the
feature is actually a more general than that.  If you put Dogtag
behind a web frontend (e.g. Apache), you can authenticate users via
SAML or OIDC and convey the appropriate environment variables, and
it will work.  Dogtag just sees an external principal and their
groups conveyed via AJP request attributes.

Pascal,

I don't think Dogtag Web UI supports it. The feature you are suggesting
(sounds to me like it) requires a full fledged IDM deployment. You can look
at FreeIPA, if you are looking for MFA.

FreeIPA <https://www.freeipa.org/page/About> uses Dogtag CA as its backend
to issue certs and also combines several other components to offer a
full-fledged IDM deployment.

Nonetheless, I'm CC'ing pki-devel to see if other developers have any
thoughts.

Regards,

In fact all I am doing here is in order to offer a GUI that may be used
with OpenId Connect (ie Keycloak or so...). The value of this is that it is
much more flexible than certificate based authentication. You can have MFA,
etc....

So my question : is there a way to remove the certificate based access
control in Dogtag's UI ? I would replace it with a tomcat valve that
provides OIDC support.
