Hi All,
I'm doing a basic CA installation of Dogtag 10.6 on RHEL 8 using an NCipher Connect
HSM.
Installed Packages
Name : pki-ca
Version : 10.6.9
Release : 2.module+el8+2728+a4ad6bba
Arch : noarch
Size : 2.3 M
Source : pki-core-10.6.9-2.module+el8+2728+a4ad6bba.src.rpm
The installation runs through fine generating the private keys and public certs.
I'm using:
pkispawn -f ca.cfg -s CA -vv
But when it comes to near the end where it tries to fireup the final instance it fails.
From what I gather from the logs is that it's having trouble
understanding which private key is associated with the certificate.
I've had a look in the nssdb and I can see the public and private certs

I noticed the entry

accelerator -P accelerator -f /tmp/tmpbt1mgtq4/password.txt -n sslserver -a -i

operation failed because the PKCS#11 token is not logged in.
pki.nssdb : WARNING certutil returned non-zero exit code (bug #1393668)
However I believe this relates to an old bug as it indicates using nss with pkcs11
interfaces will fail but when I look in the nssdb the cert is present.
The issue I think is around the system getting access to the private key for the
ca_signing cert
Caused by: java.security.InvalidKeyException:
org.mozilla.jss.crypto.NoSuchItemOnTokenException: Key is not present on this token
Could it be as simple as it's looking in the local store instead of the HSM backed
location as this does have certificates present for some reason.
[root@ ~]# certutil -L -d /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/alias

certutil: Checking token "NSS Certificate DB" in slot "NSS User Private Key

certutil: no keys found
As expected the local nssdb does not have the keys present.
Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Oh just to add this works on RHEL 7.6 with dogtag 10.5.9
Also not sure why it thinks I'm running in FIPS mode. When I check it seems to suggest
not.
[root@ ~]# sysctl crypto.fips_enabled
crypto.fips_enabled = 0
Thanks
