[Pki-devel] [PATCH] 692 Added workaround for JSS limitation in pki pkcs12-import.

Currently JSS is unable to import CA certificates while preserving their nicknames. As a workaround, the pki pkcs12-import has been modified such that it exports individual CA certificates from PKCS The remaining user certificates will continue to be imported using JSS. A new pki pkcs12-cert-export command has been added to export individual certificates from PKCS #12 file into PEM files. The pki pkcs12-import has been modified to take a list of nicknames of the certificates to be imported into NSS database. https://fedorahosted.org/pki/ticket/1742 Note: This patch depends on patch #690 and #691. This patch completes the fix of this ticket as described in the following page except for the third-party certificate handling (see discussion below): http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Exporting_System_Certificates To test this patch, install a CA with externally signed CA: http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Installing_CA_with_Externaly-Signed_CA_... Then clone the CA: http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Installing_CA_Clone Verify that the certificates on the master and replica are identical including their nicknames. To handle proxy certificate for IPA, we can either implement the cs.thirdparty.cert properties as described in the above page, but IPA would have to add the properties during the installation. Also IPA would have to add the properties to all existing installations. Then IPA needs to call pki-server ca-clone-prepare to export the certificates for cloning. If the properties exist, the command will need to export the third-party certificates into the PKCS #12 file along with other CA certs. Then IPA will need to add the same properties into the clone. Or, IPA can manage the proxy certificate themselves. Since IPA has already added the proxy cert into master, IPA can also add the proxy cert into the PKCS #12 file generated by pki-server ca-clone-prepare using this command: pki -d /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/alias -C nssdb-password.txt \ pkcs12-cert-add "subsystemCert cert-pki-tomcat" \ --pkcs12 pki-server.p12 \ --pkcs12-password-file password.txt With the second option there's no further changes required in PKI. -- Endi S.
