Modify Certificate Profies
by Chris
Sorry, hit the send by mistake....
I've succesfully installed Dogtag. The documentation was clear and I didn't
have any issues.
My question is in regards to customizing certificate profiles. In the
current CA environment I manager, I deal with customizing profiles. Is there
a way to create customized certificate profiles?
The fields which apply are:
CertificatePolicies
- Policy Identifier
- User Notice with custom text
ExtendedKeyUsage
- New Key Usage OID
Also, in one profile, we've created a new field that programically ties to
the EKU
On our current CA software, a config file is modified to customize profiles.
Also there is some DER encoding required to convert the appropriate text.
Is this feature available?

Will there be an similar 'pkiconsole' application for dogtag as there is in
the Red Hat version?

CMC enrolment
by Sam Morrison
I have an application that generates certificates using CMC to talk to
a CA server. I read that Dogtag supports CMC so I have downloaded and
installed it.
Problem I have is that I have no idea how to get my application and
Dogtag CA to talk. (and that I am just learning what CMC actually is!)
My application has an RFC2797 compliant CMC client and to configure it
I need to enter the url of the CA and some java keystore files.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Invalid Credential / User not found
by Ebbe Hansen
After using the DogTag WEB Agent client once (based upon "preop.pin"
value) the WEB Agent fail to continue to operate with error message=
"Invalid Credential" .
The "/var/lib/<instance>/logs/system" file reports an "User not found"
error.
NOTE: During the CA configuration setup the following Alert is displayed
when the administrator certificate is installed:
"This certificate can't be verified and will not be imported. The
certificate issuer might be unknown or untrusted, the certificate might
have expired or been revoked, or the certificate might not have been
approved."
Suggestions on what to try next will be appreciated?

Unable to complete setup
by caverett＠corecodec.net
I am trying to get the pki-ca setup completed; however, I can't get the
"Administrator" section to complete.
I enter a UID,
name, email, and password, and hit next. Depending on the on the
browser, I get different things.
IE6: Spinning circle,
javascript error.
Line 267: Object doesn't support this property or
method: TheForm.uid.Value
Firefox: Just hangs
Safari: Spins forever
Anyone had something like this happen?

CMC enrollment using CMS
by Sam Morrison
Hi,
I am currently testing out the Dogtag CA.
I am wanting to get a certificate automatically using CMC.
Is there an HTTPS interface where I can get a certificate from another
machine with a CMC client?
Does dogtag support CMS to be able to do this?
Thanks,

No CDP by default?
by Chris
Unable to get the CDP in the issuing certificates. Taking the caUserCert
profile, it looks like CDP isn't in the profiles by default, which appears
to be the default for all certificates.
Using the PKI Console, I added the CRL Distribution Points Extension Default
with No Constraints
* The information below was entered based on examples in the Red Hat
documentation (
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/cert-system/7.3/html/Administration_Gu...).
[Default] tab
crlDistPointsCritical = false
crlDistPointsPointType_0 = URIName
crlDistPointsPointName_0 = http://crl.company.com:80<http://crl.company.com/>
crlDistPointsReasons_0 = unused,superseded
crlDistPointsIssuerType_0 = http://pkica.corp.company.com
crlDistPointsIssueName_0 = URIName
crlDistPointsEnable_0 = true
When generating the certificate the CDP field is still not visible.I've
attached a summary of the profile below with the new CDP field added.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Chris

Importing existing CA chain into new dogtag instance
by Jonathan Barber
Hi, I've been playing with Dogtag for the last couple of days, and want
to test it with our existing CA cert that we use locally. So I've been
seting them up as subordinate CA's.
I hit a minor glitch in setup when connecting to a remote FDS instance,
it won't connect via SSL and I just get the error "Failed to connect to
the internal database", presumably because the the SSL cert doesn't pass
validation.
After configuring the CA as a subordinate, I sign the CA cert CSR with
our local CA, then provide our CA cert in PKSC7 form - generated with
with the command:
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile cacert.pem
Upon restarting the CA instance, everything works, but I can't find any
trace of the issuer certificate in the certutil DB so I presume it
failed. Where should it go?
After setup, when I try and use the pkiconsole to load the CA cert (in
PEM format) into the DB (as a CA or Local Certificate) I get the error
"Certificate Error: Failed to decode", and PrettyPrintCrt gives me:
PrettyPrintCert: Error encountered on parsing certificate : java.security.cert.CertificateParsingException: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: IssuerAlternativeNameExtensionnetscape.security.x509.GeneralNamesException: No data available in passed DER encoded value.
null
I can load it into the instance certutil DB, but can't then see it in
the pkiconsole.
Any ideas? The certicate in question is:
