DogTag support,
By enabling the Linux LDAP authentication option, I was successful
eliminating the "Invalid Credential" error message when starting the
"DogTag" WEB Agent.
My question is now, how do I "enable" the LDAP authentication option when
executing the WEB Agent via a FireFox browser that executes on a windows-XP
perform?
I have found some Internet sites that mention a "LDAP plug-in" -- is such
module available for FireFox/windows so I can execute the "DogTag" WEB Agent
from windows??

You can leave your current directory instance. When you re-do the config
wizard, you will just have to give unique names for the new directory
trees it will have to create. Removing instances is a great idea for us
to work on.

Thanks for the advice -- so far I have created three CA instances
using
different names (pki-ca, pki-ca1, and pki-ca2) -- I will remove all
three and start all over!
With respect to directory server instance(s) - should I also remove
them?
If yes -- what command(s) should I use?

Ebbe:
Thanks for trying out Dogtag. A few tips to help out below.
During the wizard when you saw the message "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unknown or untrusted, the certificate might have expired or been
revoked, or the certificate might not have been approved.", you most
probably had your agent certificate imported OK. We have a bug for this
that we are working on. This message shows up despite an actual
successful import.
The "preop.pin" you speak of is used in the case that one has not yet
completed the installation wizard.
Here are few things you can try:
1. If you have already finished the wizard, you should be able to simply
proceed to the agent interface URL without any pin, provided you have
successfully imported the Admin cert. Simply go to
"https://host.example.com:9443" and see if you can proceed using the
agent interface.
2. If the nasty error message from above scared you off of actually
finishing the configuration wizard, go back and do so. This is done with
the URL that gets printed when the instance is installed. It looks
something like:
http://host.example.com:9080/ca/admin/console/config/login?<preop.pin>
3. If everything is too confused, you can start the process over by
using our "pkiremove" tool which removes an existing instance. Try
something like, as root:
pkiremove -pki_instance_root=/var/lib -pki_instance_name=pki-ca
The "pki-ca" at the end is the name of the instance you are trying to
remove. The very first instance that is installed when you install the
RPM is in fact "pki-ca".
From here you can try again by doing the following as root:
rpm -ev pki-ca
yum install pki-ca
This will reinstall your RPM for the CA and create a brand new instance.
Note: Make sure you have used "pkiremove" to remove all instances you
may have created before trying this.
4. If the above is too confusing, we can hash it out on the "#dogtag-pi"
IRC channel.
thanks,
jack
